It's been a while

I know it's been a while since i've typed anything. Bobcat my fur brother from another mother vanished. It upset mum heaps and she's looked for him everywhere but Tomcat my brother from another litter is back. He's even fatter than me... ha ha. He found a home close by and mum new he was okay. But he's back again every day for food. Like he needs more food! Mum really wants Bobcat to come home but thinks that he's gone to the rainbow bridge. (Tom and Bob are feral cats that mum gets neutred and then continues to feed) That's where i came from. Mum's good like that. She loves to collect kitties that no-one else will. And then she tames us and makes as all big and fat! Although according to Dr Nick (the vet) i'm cuddly! Well i'm back and i'll try to type more often but it's hard as it interrups the sleeping...

I broke the cat door again

But this time i help from Bobcat... I decided he wasn't allowed to come inside to eat so chased him out. That's when it happened. I might not have been me but Bob that did it but it's now broken... So it's now the third time mums had to replace the door and she's already had to replace the whole door at one stage too... I really don't know how i broke that! meow

It's a sad day

My mummy and I are both very sad today. The lovely Emily is going to the bridge. It's breaking our hearts to know how sad Emily's mum, dad and fur brother will be
I know that Blink will be there waiting for her and Marmaduke too. He went through the same thing.
It's just a sad sad day. I'll make sure i cuddle hard into mum tonight. I think she's going to need it (and maybe i do too)

I had a Visitor

Well i'm a little put out!

I just have to let you all know! I had a visitor today and it wasn't a welcome one! The kitten from down the road throught it might walk in thur the doors into the kitchen and aim straight at my eating bowls! Wow i can tell you all i was angry.
I started my mean cat howl. It starts at the back of my throat and slowly builds up. Grrhhhhhhhhhhh..... Mum was in the kitchen loading up the dishwasher and was wondering what an earth was wrong with me.
Until she looked over to see this grey kitten. I think if mum could have she would have feed it but it ran away when it saw her. (i was most pleased by that) She feels sorry for the cats down the road. The people don't look after them properly and don't spray or neuter them. She already feeds Bob from a previous litter there. Had him neutered. Looks like she might have to catch another one and do the same.
I of coarse do not want any other kitty living in my house. I've told mum this over and over again since Blink died. I think she'd like another one but doesn't want me to be upset.
Anyway i'm now guarding the cat flap. There is no way grey kitty is going to get in while mum's not home.
Love to all

Feeling Happy

I'm feeling very happy with myself today. I'm managed to stay inside now for 2 days! Sleeping in my favorite bed and eating. I even managed to make my mum really uncomfortable last night while watching TV. I noticed where she was sitting so put my front paws up and looked at her with the "you're in my place, please move" look
It worked. Mum sat up got the big cushion all comfy for me and up i hopped. Then i lay down - spread my paws up and pushed her further along the sofa. I was so happy - lying next to mum, all safe and sound, in the best place and mum we'll i'm sure she was just happy to be sitting next to me patting my head when i asked.

Thanks to everyone who was worried about me. If i'd known all the worry i'd cause i would have come home sooner.

Gus! "Lord and master"

I came Home!!!!

Well mum shot home from Work yesterday to go looking for me to find me curled up on my bed. (she thinks it's her bed but it's not)
She was so happy to see me. Let me tell you. She patted me and kissed me and told me off for running and hiding away!
Then she checked me all over for any war wounds. Which i had none! She was so happy. Then she feed me all my favourite things and played and hugged me some more.
I was a bit sore i must admit so stayed on my bed all evening. I didn't go out for a cuddle later on so mummy came back in and gave me a few through the evening!

My Foe (Bob) turned up later too for a feed. Mum looked at him from a far (as he doesn't like people getting too close) He was none the worse for wear either. she was pleased that he had a good feed too.

Today i decided i wasn't going to go for a walk outside and around the house. I was going to stay in! This pleased mum no end.
Well time for my mid morning snooze. Talk soon.
Lots of love
GUS xxx
PS Everyone can rest easy now. I'm just a strong willed ginger!

I'm hiding

Well i'm hiding at the moment. Mum has called and called me but she can't find me. I know she's really worried but i'm not coming inside. Bob (the feral grey kitty that she feeds) was waiting for me and attacked me as i was coming home from my daily walk around the house. Mummy came rushing around and looked silly calling "Gus" Come on boy where are you. But i didn't come
She even came home at lunch looking for me. The guys on the street putting in the new wires must think she's crazy. Well she is a CCL after all but walking around calling Gus... Where are you baby.
She's gone back to work now and i'm still hiding. I bet she's sitting there chewing her nails in worry.
And i know what she'll say to me when i go hom tonight." Gus are you alright boy. You know you're making me go grey!!!!!"
Then she'll lock the cat door again and then i'll break it and she'll have to get another one...

It's My BIRTHDAY

Gosh i can't believe it! It's my birthday! I'm 5 years old! Wow!
Mum gave me a tin of tuna and a big cuddle this morning! Yah for mum! She rocks!
I must say i did well in finding this house! I get an electric blanket left on all day and night if its cold and the heated tiles on all day (even when mum's not there) with my bean bag on them! It's so nice!
She makes me nests around the house so that i can sleep in more than one place and be comfortable! it's so cool!
I have so many toys it's unbelievable! And she's moved my favorite toy to in front of the heater (as we are coming up to winter) and i love that! Mum plays with me daily in it! Okay it's a box! A big box that mum has cut holes out of so i can put my paws through and she sticks the feather things in and out of the holes and i pounch on them! it's the best toy ever! I sleep in it! It's got toys with catnip in so i can rub my face! It's the best!
We i'd just like to thank Catster wishing me a happy birthday! That was so nice of them and i'd like to wish all the other 360 odd cats that are having a birthday today too A Very Happy Birthday! I hope you day is as great as mine!
Lots of love Gus xxxxx meow

Whoops

Hi

I know it's been ages since i last wrote. I left everyone wondering if the i got the drain out or not. I did! The next day! Oh and I escaped from the house! I held mum accountable for everything that had happened to me and I wouldn't go near her.
For her part, she worried about me when every time i left the house, she took me back to the vet twice more and she feed me every little treat she could think of.

The stitches are out, mum stopped feeding me antibiotic's morning and night and my fur is growing back!
I finally forgiven her! Only because i'm feeling so much better.
And she promised not to take me back to the vet!

Well summer is on it's way. The days are getting longer and so is the lawn. Mum is meant to mow it but after her fall (i had nothing to do with it) she hasn't been able to do certain things. She's got a very badly bruised tail bone! But i've never seen no tail on her. I think she's lying about having a tail bone. She's not even that furry!
Getting back to the grass and it's length - truth be known "i'm loving it!" I've made a couple of nests and i sit there watching the birds!
I promised mum i wouldn't catch any but i watch then and talk to them. Tell them what i would do if they came to close. Show them my teeth and say "come closer little birds" but their smart little things and just sit on the fence and tweep at me.
If i remember rightly - once caught i let them go inside the house to frighten mum when she arrives home after work and releases them back outside. They in turn poop on her paintings.

Well i'm getting tired now. I think it's around the time Mum comes home. This means i need to be back on the bed and looking like i'm sleeping.
Cat-ch up soon

I removed my drain

Well it's been two days since my operation. I'm feeling much better. Last night i removed my drain. Dr Nick was going to do this for me on Friday but i thought... "Why can't i do it" so out it came!
After mum went uhhhgggg... she laughed. Maybe mum won't take me back to the vet tomorrow now the drain's gone...

I haven't been too happy though! Mum has been keeping me inside! I like to be able to go inside and out (it's safe here in NZ to go outside no dangerous animals other than humans) She blocked the cat door up. She put heaps of plant pots blocking the outside of the door, the door stop in the hole and then on the inside she put a box that she nail to the wall. All to stop me getting out! Mum knows how strong i am and how i can get out of anything!
I had almost made it though her box too but didn't need finish the job in the end. I made my escape when mum was having her coffee this morning. Okay she might not have been fully awake. I got her up at 5am! ha ha 5 hours sleep! hee hee hee (my plan of escape was had started)
Mum had blocked the 2 holes in the fence (so i couldn't go to the neighbours) so i could go outside for small amounts of time with her watching but had forgotten that old chimmey i jump on sometimes to get to the top of the fence! When she wasn't looking I made my escape... i thought i'd made it too but mum was there so quick... She put her coffee cup down and was making a grab for me, but sadly missed because she put her coffee cup down on nothing and it smashed onto the tiles! Giving her a fright! But more importantly giving me enough time to get onto the fence and walk quickly to the top of the garage!
I was free and i could hear mum saying @#$@#@$@#@#$@
I think she was happy i was free too!
Well i'll write more soon. I'm able to get in and out so just jumped on the net to let you know how i'm doing. Mum's gone to work so i don't have to worry about her trying to lock me inside again today.
