Mommy got some bad news today :o(

Mommy has been told today that the company she works for Netto is being bought out by Asda. Mommy works in their Accounts department and has been there 10 years, she has been very upset and in tears at the unknown situation at the moment.

Daddy keeps telling her that this could be for the best, but it does not seem to make mommy feel any better. She has got a great job and lots of close friends at Netto.

After what seemed a long discussion, mommy is feeling a bit more positive and ready to take what happens, happens for a reason.

She tells me that if she does lose her job on the plus side I get to spend every day with her (YIPPPEEEE).

Giving mommy extra cuddles, purrs and kisses tonight.

PS where has the sun gone???

Love and hugs Tilly xx

Another Sunny Day

Again I have been outside all day today, but it has been too hot for me, I kept going up to my mommy and meowing telling her it was just too hot.

As I write this it is starting to cool down and I am so much more happy.

Alfie have u had a good sunny day, hope Rosie has behaved herself today. Have you all been sunbathing or have you found it too hot too.

Chloe i think you are so right we could be turning into Spain. Mommy says if that is the case I will have to have a hair cut hoping it is not a crew cut :o)

Hope you all have a lovely day, love Tilly xx

The Sun is here

OMC the sun is finally here in the uk, for the last few day we have had sunshine and today has been the hottest day of the year so far. I wish I could have unzipped my fur coat and hung it up for the day as it was that hot.

I am not allowed outside unless I am being supervised and I have been out all day trying to find the coolest place in the garden. At the moment it is cooling down nicely so it will be ok for my pawrents to get to sleep. Mommy is a bit red from too much sun as she has spent around 8 hours with me in the garden, weeding, planting and gossiping with the neighbours.

Daddy has been busy too, but not too happy has yesterday he had an accident in his pride and joy .... his car and has been getting to a garage for an insurance quote. A silly accident but a quite costly one. He says one good point was that it was not mommy car as he would never hear the last of it MOL.

Tonight we have had a big firework display going off over the village. On the last night of the fair coming to town they do a firework display, i watch it out of the bedroom window with mommy and it was so beautiful, did not get scared for one minute ... me so brave.

I am soooo tired after being out all day so going to get into bed with mommy who has got a big cup of tea (even though it is still warm she says it cools her down????). Really hoping it is nice again tomorrow so that i can go out again.

Rustle, Jaffa and Lulu hope the weather has been as hot for you as it has been for me, enjoy the sunshine.

Lots of Love and big hugs Tilly xx

New Hobbies

Mommy has decided to take up a new hobby and me too. Mine is trying to get onto the fence and jump into the palm grass next door to get the baby birds nest before mommy realises what I am doing. I have found a nest with 5 baby blackbirds in, if i balance carefully on the garden fence I am that close I can almost touch them. What I do not understand is why both my pawrents spoill my fun, and every time I get close, I am caught and brought back inside.

Mommy is going to take up photography, daddy says god help me when mommy gets a new camera it will be Tilly photos forever. I have never seen my mommy so excited about doing something, she does not have much free time with work and the cattery but she wants something for her that she enjoys now that the house is nearly finished. Mommy was good at photography at A levels but never really carried it on, going on to study accounts instead, so she is fed up with office work and wonders if she can make another career some time into the future.

If anyone has any tips on taking photos or on camera's would love your advice.

Lots of big hugs love Tilly xx

Tummy Bugs and Tilly Trouble

Mommy has been off work for the last two days with a Tummy Bug, I keep examining her for a bug and have not found one yet so not sure what is wrong with her. We spent Thursday morning mainly wandering the house, mommy trying to get comfortable, not to disturb daddy and me just following like a little shadow. Eventually she settled in the spare bed with me close to her, all day yesterday and today I have been snuggled up next to mommy in their bed and loved every minute of it .

This morning she felt much better but decided to not go into work to be on the safe side, she wandered downstairs and nearly started crying as she noticed her cream fluffy rug. YES it was me, I had outdone myself again and had been sick and also left a big hairball right in the middle of it. Mommy disappeared twice whilst cleaning the rug to the toilet, and came down muttering 'can not cope with this today' , but again not a bad word was said, and to say sorry I tried headbutting her affectionately whilst she was cleaning the rug. Mommy maybe I picked up that tummy bug thing too.

Also I have been given a new toy which I am so not able to catch. A little red dot thing keeps appearing on the floor, I jump on it, roll on it, paw it and try to eat it but it keeps disappearing and climbing up the walls. Daddy just keeps laughing at me and telling me it is to work some of the winter excess off (what ever he means by that). I am entertained for hours with this, it is even better than any of my favourite toys.

Also has been a bad week at the Adwick Cats Lodge, we lost a very much loved friend Tigsey. Mommy had seen him and his family whilst they came in on holiday last week. Mommy loved him, he was so beautiful and sooo fast, he could get out his holiday chalet quicker than grease lightening. On Tuesday morning Tigsey got hit by a car and killed, his mommy is so distraught, and it has really upset Angie who run the cat lodge. Just a quick message Tigsey send two fantastic angels (Pebbles and Rhea ) to take you under their wings until it is time to meet your mommy again. We love you Tigsey and will miss you very very much.

Friend or Foe

Mommy and Daddy are off work this week and I have been outside for the last two days. I have been visited by a fluffly black and white cat, at moment I can not make out if he/she is friend or foe.

Mommy can not believe how close I let it get to me, they did overstep the mark when it tried to come into my house, and I let off a massive roar (that neither of my pawrents have ever heard before).

At the moment I am not too sure what to do, I keep running for home, but mommy says I should stand up for my own back garden. I am keeping guard on the garden fence on look out duty. Mommy has been up to the cat and it is tame, also it has a lovely bright green collar but no tag.

I keep trying to get Anna the bunny to back me up, but she is not bothered in coming outside at the moment and is sunbathing behind the patio doors.

Quality Time

My pawrents work very hard, and when they get home, we play for hours, but this week has been lovely. Mommy has had the whole week off, and we have spent lots of quality time together.

After daddy had left for work we would play for a couple of hours and then both of us get comfy on the bed and watch tv. Also this week i had my booster injection and again was poorly, but mommy spent all her time feeding me by hand, making me comfy on her bed and giving me hugs.

With this i have got a liking for their bed, for the last two nights i have been trying to get in with my pawrents, which they find funny. Mommy woke early this morning to find me wedged between the bed head board and her pillow, purring away into her hair. I was so comfy and snug that I stretched out more and went to sleep. Daddy was not to sure when he turned round to be facing my bottom :o)

This week mommy is back at work but then she is off for another week but this time daddy is off as well and he says we have got some things to do around the house :o(

Roll on next week for another week of pure attention

More food for the RSPCA

Mommy took alot of food again to all the cats without forever homes at the RSPCA. She had that much that it was in the boot, front seat and back seats too. Her employee Netto was having a clear out of samples at the head office, so mommy jumped in and asked for it again. Everyone there knows she is cat mad, so automatically she gets an email asking if she wants it.

Mommy stored it in our garage and took it up today as she has a week off work. They were so pleased with all the cat litter, treats, biscuits and loads of tins and mommy felt so proud that she could help feed them.

Without daddy there she also went for a quick look, she was pleased to see that there were not many cats in, and most were reserved. There was two which she adored but one was on pen rest and not adoptable and the other had to be homed with older children, mommy and daddy are wanting to start a family and having me is already a problem as i am not a person friendly cat. We have come a long way in the last year and if a baby appears I am sure i will settle in with it too.

I was first abandoned due to a baby appearing, but I have been told by both my pawrents that this is my forever home no matter what and i will always be their little girl. I know spoilt :o)

Nurse Tilly

Mommy has not been very well today, she came home with daddy and went straight to bed, with a headache. I noticed she was ill when she was been sick in the toilet, i started the nursing straight away. I purred loudly in her ear whilst she was being sick and gave her my little cat kisses.

I then slept on the bed with her whilst she was getting better. Mommy and daddy thought this was weird for me, as I never sleep on their bed, but i curled into my mommy and slept with her for over two hours. Daddy says I was nurse Tilly and checking on mommy.

When mommy woke up I got straight off the bed and went and fell asleep on their spare bed in the other room. Mommy thinks I am so clever for sensing that she was not very well and came to make me better.

So from now on Nurse Tilly is on call whenever mommy is ill.

Me doing Headbonks

Can you believe it in the last few weeks I have become more affectionate to my mommy, I know she loves me very much but I do like my own company too.

I have started to headbonk her when I want attention and also getting on her knee whilst she watches tv. Mommy is a quick learner though, I will only stay on her knee if she does not touch me, I can see that she is wanting to give me hugs and kisses but she is willing to miss these for time I spend on her lap. I have also started giving mommy nose kisses, where we get nose to nose and I give her nose a little lick, what I am really doing is checking mommy has had something to eat and I have not had a piece :o)

Also this morning I got into bed with her and laid down on the bed next to her, what am I becoming, a lap cat.

It has took me 14 months to get to this stage, but mommy says I am spending more time with her and giving more love than attacking her with the nails.

Tilly's Mommy: It has been an ongoing task with Tilly she looks so fluffy and cute but believe me she is far from it. We have come a long way since last November when she did not interact with us at all. She has also started to greet visitors to the house and purr at them, instead of hiding or attacking their legs as the passed her. We still have a long way to go, but what a difference a year makes. Would I do it again, always, Tilly is adored by myself and my boyfriend, she is our little girl and very much loved. We would love to adopt another cat but for the moment Tilly is a content little cat and we are scared that bringing another cat into our family would push Tilly back to how she used to be. I would love to hear people's view on weather we should keep Tilly as an only cat.

Love Tilly and Tracy xx
