Heaven for the lady of the house

It really doesn't take much to please the lady of the house... This Saturday night she was blissful in the following situation:

She had me on her lap, Coca-cola in her glass, and a new season of her favourite series, Midsomer Murders, to watch on TV. She was happy.

Stuff I have been eating lately

I guess someone would consider this post to be somewhat embarrassing for me, but I'm not ashamed of (almost) anything that I have done, I think it just gives me more experience on different things, good or bad.

 

Today I thought to share some maybe quite unexpected culinary experiences I have had lately. I still have the curious little kitten inside of me, who likes to taste and chew on different things. The lady of the house claims that it is usually the dogs that chew on everything, but I don't see why cats couldn't do that too??? Also, the smalles members of the staff have a habit of leaving all kinds of interesting things on the floor or on the tables, and I just happen to find these things, and then I very often just have to eat/taste/bite them. It's really as simple as that.

 

So here comes the stuff. Some of the pictures might upset the most sensitive viewers, so you have been warned...

 

 

A TrashBag. Not this particular individual, but you get the idea. A nice small, chewy, rubber thingie the smallest ones collected at some point. Very nice to chew on, doesn't taste like much though. Didn't cause any harm to my digestion, all in all quite an interesting experience.

 

 

An earplug. I found this one on the floor, and was immediately interested. Same kind of chewy rubber thing as the previous one. The lady of the house didn't appreciate this deed either... She found this half-eaten earplug with some black fur attached on it, and she knew right away what had happened...

 

 

A hair elastic. The smallest ones were playing with this yesterday, but when they were done with it, it was my turn. This one was a bit more challenging, but I was able to brake it into pieces. Or two pieces to be exact, this is what was left of it. In this case I have to admit that it probably wasn't any of my smartest ideas to swallow the 2/3 of the elastic... As you might guess, the piece didn't quite pass my digestion. So I might have vomited the damned thingie on the wee hours of the morning... The good thing is, that the lady of the house learned that I have a different kind of meowing for an upcoming vomit! She had even time to guide me to a better place from the white hairy carpet to do my thing. So, not much harm done.

 

Now you might think that I would have learned something from all this, that I wouldn't touch any suspicious stuff anymore? But no, I can't promise you that. I'm still as curious as before, and as long as there are interesting things on my path, I'm sure I will have to taste them!

Wet cat

I have to admit that I didn't see this one coming. I couldn't predict the consequences when I followed the big one to the shower. As I have told you, I always want to be there in the bathroom when my staff takes a shower. So I followed the big one to the shower, and look what happened:

 

He took me with him in the shower! I wasn't asking for it, I don't think I needed it, but he did it anyway! As you can see, I DID NOT appreciate it at all...

 

I had JUST spent the afternoon washing myself the traditional feline way, and I was happy with the result. But I guess it wasn't enough for the staff, they had to wet my fur thoroughly before they considered it was fine. Obviously I needed to lick the water from my fur all over again, what a waste of a good nap time! Damn those humans!

Alien?

Is there an extraterrestrial alien watching us on the kitchen cabinets?

 

Noooo, it's just me, Carlos! With the flashlight eyeballs!

#ootd #selfie #MOL

I thought I should do like all the proper fashionista bloggers do, post an outfit of the day and a selfie picture of myself. So here goes.

 

Today I'm wearing (well, like always..) my silky smooth black cat fur outfit, which is mostly black but has some  nice white details to give the overall impression some nice variation. I've been told that I have inherited this colouring from my father, since my mother looks totally different. This selfie picture has been taken in my mansion, in the living room to be exact. I'm standing on the sofa arm here, trying to have a look outside but the thoughtless staff hasn't yet opened the blinds.

So, I guess that was it. The "outfit of the day" should probably be "outfit of all my days" in this case though...

In sickness and in health

Today the lady of the house isn't feeling very well. This means I need to comfort her and give her a little TLC, I know I'm the best cat for the job. In practice it means sleeping on her belly a lot, purring and staring admiringly at her. I know she appreciates that, and she pets and scratches me back just the way I like it. It's really a win-win situation.

 

 

I hope she gets well soon, I wouldn't like to experience any delays in my feeding schedule because of this...

The beast in me

Friends, I'm happy to tell you that although I'm an indoor cat, my primitive instincts of a predator are still intact. I saved my staff and my mansion from a malicious creature, that had been lodging in the toy cupboard of the smallest members of the staff.

 

I saw the hidious rat, and I prepared for an attack. I jumped on it and got a good grip of it with my teeth. I dragged the rat into a corner, and started to fight the life out of it. The staff seemed to be very impressed, and they were even a bit frightened of my growling. They said they never heard me growl like that before, and they were right. But this surely was the first time I had to protect my staff and our home like that. Desperate times require desperate measures.

 

The lady of the house was able to get a picture of that rat. I tell you it was huge and scary, but I wasn't scared! She even knew the species of the rat, she called it an IKEA rat. I've never heard of the kind, but I'm sure it's very harmful. Here is the picture of the pest I was able to destroy:

 

 

 

I have to say though, that for my confusion the staff seemed to be quite amused of my doings after they got over their first reaction... I don't quite understand it, they should be very thankful for me instead of laughing at me.... Who knows what kind of damage this kind of a rat could have caused to the mansion! People can be so strange and ungrateful sometimes...
