The mystery of the sheet

Today the secretary noticed something very strange inside the sheet that was hanging on the laundry drying rack. It kind of looked like the sheet would be like... alive or something.

 

 

She was brave enough to get a little closer to the mysterious sheet... There was definitely something odd going on.

 

Then the crazy woman tried to poke the blob on the sheet with her foot. You would think she'd known better already...

 

Exactly! The mysterious sheet swallowed up a part of her foot! Nearly all her toes were GONE!!

 

OMC this is too crazy frightening stuff!! Now the sheet has almost all of her foot!!

What can she do??? Can she get her foot back??? 

 

 

Well... yeah, of course she can... It was only  me... I guess I have developed a thing for white hanging fabrics lately...

But all the alleged scratches on her foot are totally and only her own fault. I didn't ask her to put her foot in the middle of my wrestling game with the sheet! Humans should never interfere with the cats play.

By the way, thank you guys for opening my innocent kitty eyes for the true purpose of the travel box!! I was reading your comments on the previous post, and I have to say that I have had NO clue this thing could be used in such horrible purposes!! To me, it has been always used to transport me with my staff to the paradise, to lake side or to the island. In fact, I could have called it a paradise box! But no more friends, no more. I guess I can't be this lucky for the rest of my life, the day will come sooner or later when they put me in it and lead me on to think we're going to the cottage, but instead they will take me to the vet. OMC, I get chills just thinking about it! I have to be more careful.. No more casual naps inside the travel box, just in case.

Welcome to my crib

Friends, I've got myself a new bachelor pad! Want to see it? Here you go!

How cool is it! My very own, two storey, one bedroom apartment. Bedroom/livingroom upstairs, and the litter box room downstairs. I should just get my secretary to install the kitchen equipments on the roof terrace. That would basically be all I need. 

I think a housewarming pawty is in order. Just teleport over here and let's get the party started!!

In the shadows...

Boo! Did I scare you? Don't you worry, it's only me behind the curtains! 

Have a fab Caturday!

Cat trees

The mother nature is very un-predictable, and the lake didn't give us any fish to eat this time. Thank Goodness for canned food...

 

So I had to figure out something else to pass my time. I decided to train my natural instincts and climb some trees now when I had loads of them in my disposal.

 

 

Hmmmm... this looks like a proper tree...

 

Climbing is quite hard actually.... Damned leash...

 

There! I made it! All by myself I climbed almost on top of a tree! Who cares it was only a small one, I still did it! Great fun!!

 

I hope you had a nice Friday and will enjoy your weekend!

 

See you!

We're here again!

Lake cottage, we meet again. The kids went fishing straight from the car when we got here. I hope they will catch some fresh fishes for me. 

Until then, I enjoy some canned food with a familiar view.

The box issue...

I heard a bit late that it was a box day some time ago. Obviously my staff did't get the memo, but luckily I was given a box today. I wanted to show my dissatisfaction with the delay of the box delivery, and didn't even go near it. The staff were getting a bit anxious since they had been planning a funny blog post featuring me sitting happily in a box. Well, that wasn't going to happen!

Anyhow, since I'm only a tiny kitten compared to the Big Humans, I had little to say when the big one decided to put me into the box so that they could take some freaking pictures for this blog...

As you can see, I was more than a bit annoyed due to his actions. Does this look like a happy kitten in a box to you? I didn't think so either!! Epic fail.

Just give me a second...

There! Happy now humans?? That's all you're going to get, a bad photoraph of me sitting in the freaking box for a 1,5 seconds. I hope they learned their lesson, never to plan a blog post without consulting me!!

Vamos olhar para o futebol!

Yesterday night I was watching the World Championship Football game from Brazil with the big one. The game was between Brazil and Camerun. I must say the big one was more exited than I was, but I kept my mouth shut and enjoyed the quality lap time.

 

 

Say whaat? The big one told me that there has been a great brazilian football player named after me, Roberto Carlos. Apparently he has had a great left kick in his time. Cool, it's nice to know my name has been given to some great athletes. The big one kept on telling me about other good players, like Zico. In this game we were watching Neymar did very well. 

 

I tried my best to look interested, but I have to say I accidently fell asleep during his lecture. Well, I'm a cat, that can happen.

 

But it was nice while it lasted!

Well...

Things didn't really go as I had planned yesterday... I have barely seen the secretary the whole day. It seems she has invented all kinds of stuff herself that have kept her busy all day long. That really sucks. 

I can't understand that a cat lady would have her priorities so mixed up that she prefers to paint furniture and fix the garden instead of concentrating on me! I feel so neglected and un-appreciated right now! I better go eat something to get my mind off of this misery! I hope tomorrow will be a better day!

On the shelf

Today in the kid's room.

Friends, my secretary is startng the first part of her summer vacation now. That means I FINALLY should have ALL of my staff released from their other duties to serve only ME! Oh, that should be great! I have all kinds of tasks listed for them already. Maybe we can even go to the lake cottage to meet and eat all the fishes there. I'll be reporting how things go!

Have a great week!

Good morning and good night!

Whoa, how fast has this day gone by allthough it was supposed to be the longest day of the year. The sun didn't go down much, but it wasn't all sunpuddles anyways. 

This is me today in the morning. My favourite place to sleep during the nights. Well, after they denied acces to sleep in the kids rooms. Well, this is just as good. 

That was morning and now it's night again. Time to go to sleep. I hope you had a nice Caturday!!

I want to go fishing

I would be ready to go fishing, but no-one seems to be interested. I have all the necessary fishing gear next to me, but I would need some assistance from my staff. Well, maybe another day. 

Tonight it's the Midsummer night, when the sun doesn't really go down at all. We celebrate it here at home, allthough many people like to celebrate it in their summer cottages.

Anyways, happy Friday to all!!

Watching kids play

The kids have sometimes quite interesting toys they play with. The other night I watched them play with these Beyblade spinning wheels.

It looked quite interesting, but they made a bit too much noice to my liking. It was better for me to watch from distance this time.

OMC it was my Gotcha day!

We almost forgot it, but yesterday was my Gotcha day! It was exactly one year ago when my staff adopted me.

Oh my, I remember fondly my birth home, where a couple of my brothers still live. But I guess I have settled in quite well here, and I've been able to train my humans quite well already. Luckily the secretary has been trained before by some pioneer cats, so I didn't have to start from scratch.

 

Anyhow, it was SO nice to read more about where you live and how it's like there! Thank you so much for sharing! I made my secretary google all the places and OMC they seemed nice! I think I should make a trip around the world and visit all of you! I'm just not sure how the airlines feel about travelling cats... Too bad the teleporting isn't yet an option. But, maybe I'll figure out something someday! I just need to get a properly big suitcase if I will bring our furniture with me to the Katnip Lounge!

 

Also, we would appreciate every sunbeam and warm breeze of air you might send in our way, the weather forecasts aren't yet promising any better for now. Well, let's hope that after a hot May and a cold June there will be a hot June, just in time when the secretary will have her proper holiday from work. Just when we thought the stupid climate change would have some benefits to us Northeners, but I guess not...

 

See ya again!

Not fair...

...that our summer is still missing!! It's been so freaking cold here that in some parts of Finland it has SNOWED a little! Luckily not in our hoods, but not too far from us either.

It's so unfair! They say it's warmer in Alaska than here. We have Midsummer celebrations coming up next weekend!!! The thermometer says it's around +10 degrees celsius with freezing cold wind now. I think we need to relocate somewhere... Any tips?

Keep on reading

Just keep on reading your book, never mind me. I just lay here and wash myself.

Have a great week friends! My secretary has been too busy again to concentrate on this blogging thing and hasn't been able to visit your blogs that much. But we'd like to say it's always so nice to see all of you in the comment box, we'll hope to visit your boxes too soon!

Wake up by purring

I try to wake up my staff quite gently, like purring and head butting them in the morning. Today I was beginning to lose my temper since the secretary didn't seem to get my message at all. I was first laying on her feet and purring, then I moved on to her stomach and kept purring. No signs of waking up. Then I thought I should make myself chrystal clear somehow. 

I installed myself on her pillow, and leaned heavily on the side of her head. AND kept purring. She said that her whole head resonated because I purred right into her ear. Score!!! She got up and gave me food. Feel free to try this at your homes friends!

Sleepy selfies

Since all the hip, cool and famous people are taking selfies and posting them all over the internet, me and my secretary thought we should do it too. So here goes.

Well, I don't know if it went that well since the secretary chickened out and didn't show her face, and I seem to be asleep... Well, at least the sun came back! You just can't have it all I guess.

Have a great Caturday!!

Sunbathing in the morning

We had a lovely sun puddle in the morning, and I enjoyed stretching in it. It didn't last long though, the rest of the day was cloudy, rainy and very windy. Our summer seems to have disappeared somewhere, I want it back!

Have a nice weekend!

Observing

Under the table is a good place to observe things and humans. They don't always see me there, and that is kind of the point. Except now when there isn't really much to observe... The kids are playing outside and the others are just sitting on the sofa. So, observing done for tonight. Time for a nap. This place under the table is good for that too.

Wordless Wednesday: Good night!

I do drink water!

Finally I found a way I would enjoy drinking my water!

At the lake cottage, the humans had left a kettle with some water on the stove (don't worry, the stove and the water were cold) Well, I liked to drink water from it! I know the humans hadn't really meant it to be used like that, but I was being innovative! The secretary didn't have a heart to stop me, since she so seldom sees me drinking it. Score!

You know I can explain this...

You might remember the other day when I shwooshed into the bathroom/sauna? I was asking you if you would like to know what I've been doing there? Well, here's what. I can tell you my staff didn't appreciate that at all. The big one actually banned me from the sauna. Well, let's see if he can stop me, I'm a lot faster than he is!

 

Anyhow, here's the deal. In this picture you can see the benches of the sauna. You might want to draw your eyes on the lower part of the picture, on the floor close to the wooden support leg.

 

 

Here's a close up of the picture.

 

This is what caught the eye of my secretary, and she started investigating my deeds a bit more. And no, it's not dust you see there on the floor, it's wood chips.

After seeing the wood chips on the floor, the secretary looked up, and noticed that the support leg had my claw marks ALL over it.

 

I had even clawed this doorframe a bit, but I have to say I like the wooden support leg better.

 

So there. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, I mean a cat is supposed to sharpen his claws on wooden pieces, am I right? It's my staff's fault if they don't provide me with a proper scratching post that REALLY fits my needs. Clearly they haven't succeeded in doing so, so I don't really have any other option. Of course, if they don't like me scratching the wooden panels of the sauna, I might try the furniture, the curtains, the carpets... But I don't think they would like that either!  Humans can be very hard to please...

Back to reality...

Goodbye fresh live grilled fish for now... All I have now is some left over rice and some  canned catfood I refuse to eat.

I mean, do they really think I would settle for some processed and canned tuna after enjoying fresh live grilled perch from the lake! Sigh.... I guess I'll have to get used to the canned stuff again or else I'll be starving for a while...

Good times...

Let me tell you I've had the time of my life on the lake cottage today... The weather has been gorgeous, and I've spent most of the day outside. Also something very interesting happened in the morning. One of the kids was fishing on the pier, and look what he catched! A great big live pike! The fresh living fish was introduced to me, but I guess I have spent too much time as an indoor cat, since I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THIS KIND OF FISH!

 

It was actually quite frightening in my opinion! OMC, can you believe it! I'm a bit embarrassed now, where were my instincts when I needed them! I'm only used to process fish that is already sliced and canned for me!

 

But luckily the big one catched also a perch later on, which he was nice enough to prepare for me on the grill. This is more like it!

 

A nice lunch with a view!

And, now we have teleported us back home again. Well, if you can call a two hour drive in a hot car teleporting... But I behave very well, I'm already such an experienced traveller!

Meanwhile...

...somewhere beside an anynomous lake in Finland. 

So we teleported us here in the lake cottage. We got thunderstorm and rain so I rather stay inside. 

Have a fab Friday!
