Shooting the Breeze

My Diet is Working!

Mummy's having an eventful week, what with all the hassles with her Internet and then the place where she went to work to earn money to buy cat food, well she says it went down the gurgler, whatever that means, and now she hasn't got a job for the moment. So she said she reeeally didn't need a double vet bill right now but as I had a mucky eye I would have to go. I told her it could wait until she starts working again but she said tough luck, we're off to the vet and loaded me and Arrow into our Portajails. I sang cat opera in the car all the way there. Arrow sat in the front seat and didn't sing anything.
The vet gave me some medicine for my eye, but here's some GOOD news, my diet is really working! I'm down from 9.8 kilograms to 7.4. How good is that! Mummy is so proud of me.
Now that I am slimmer, perhaps a handsome tom might come out of the woodwork and send me a Valentine? Teeheehee!

I Got A Rat!

Mummy's internet connection is down, but I insisted she type a diary entry for me at the place she goes to earn money to buy cat food. Yes, after everyone laughed at my efforts to catch a mouse on the front porch, I caught a big grey rat! All by myself, too! Arrow wanted to have it but I growled at her and said she couldn't touch my rat, it was a present for Mummy. Mummy loved it.
I'm working on a mouse at the moment. It's loose in the house and boy is it fast. Then again I'd probably put on a burst of speed if I were a mouse loose in a house with five cats....

Mouse Party!

We had a Mouse Party last night and boy was it fun! Mummy looked out onto the front patio to see me leaping and pouncing and skittering across the concrete after something. She let Orkney and Bunty out to party with me and we had a blast! When she looked out again a couple of hours later we had proudly laid a kill on the welcome mat. She opened the door for a closer look and Bunty came waltzing around the corner with another one hanging out of her mouth! So she hastily shut the door and we partied all night. Yeah!
Oh, and where was Chief Mouser Arrow during all this? Snoring in her office chair, the party pooper!
