I spend a lot of time amusing and being amused by Chiquita, but hardly any time taking cat photos. I tried to make amends a little on Monday while I was taking a day off work.

Turning the tables on the kitten
February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Life
Over the last couple of weeks we have been reminded that kittens are a force of nature, but tonight Chiquita had a break from terrorising us as she learned that there is an even greater force of nature, which also comes on four legs – Jayne’s friend came round with her twin 8-year-old girls… I [...]

Cat Chaos
February 1st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Life
So. The first day that Chiquita was left alone all day and she trashed the front room a bit. At the moment we can’t let her out (a bit young, not had her jabs, paranoid about cars and wrapping her in cotton wool etc.) It was not supposed to be like this: it was supposed [...]
More bad cat news

Today has been a very sad and depressing one, as it saw us lose our second cat in just over a week, but this time it was totally unexpected.
Welcome to the family

Funny how these things happen. Jayne went to a party on Saturday night and one of her sister’s friends was saying how she had a kitten they couldn’t keep any more… Seems that they already had a dog, the kitten’s mother and the kitten’s older brother. When the cat had a litter they were persuaded [...]
No more pets
January 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Life
We decided a while a go that, for various reasons, we would not have any more pets.
After Ziggy died we weakened a little bit and so Rojo joined the family, but that was a momentary lapse of reason – somebody we knew had kittens who needed a home, we had a home… it seemed like [...]
Decorating the cats
December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Life
Getting the car moving again coincided with Jayne getting paid, so today saw one or two rash purchases in town while I was working, leading to an entertaining few minutes at home this evening as we tried to get Scar and Rojo to model their new scarf and santa hat.

Ferrets
August 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Life
We are toying with the idea of getting a pet ferret after seeing a bloke taking his ferrets for a walk in Croydon at the weekend. They appear to be adorable, affectionate and entertaining but really I know nothing about them.
Specifically I don’t know how well they get on with cats. Anybody got any experience [...]

Copycat

Rojo is avoiding us a bit at the moment. Earlier on today we noticed a lump at the base of his tail and rushed him to the vets, where we were told he had an abcess there. Now I know what that is like – although I didn’t get mine from fighting in the streets. [...]

Getting worse
May 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
I worry that young Rojo may be turning into a problem cat.
His fondness for water and getting wet generally is quite amusing – it really is fun to see him hop into the empty laundry basket and pester us until somebody pours a jug of water on him, but I don’t think it is normal.
