Cat in the hedge

Posted on June 30, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Cat, Cheeky, Claws, Funny, gentle, Hedge, Knee, Queen, Tom, Tuxedo cat6 Comments

Peeping out, watching the traffic, avoiding dog walkers, he sits and waits for us to get out of the car. Then he’s on the doorstep waiting to come in for his tea.

My other cats have their habits too, my little queen stretches up and claws my knee every time she says hello. I always say ouch, but she’s not bothered. She won’t stop. Just a friendly miew…

The other Tom likes me to Stoke his head, all the way down his back to his tail, as I reach the end his head comes back up again for the next sweep of my hand, over and over, 20 or 30 times…

The three of them are so loving. I enjoy their company. X

Two cats together

It’s hot, and the cats have come into the living room to enjoy the breeze from our oscillating fan. They won’t sit right in front of it but are off to one side so they can feel a bit cooler. I’ve got the back door open for once after dosing myself up with hay-fever spray. Usually the windows and doors stay firmly shut but it’s hot AND humid tonight. It’s rained for a bit so that’s cooled the atmosphere slightly. Meanwhile the cats just decided to mooch off somewhere else xxx

My cat print!

My friend always sends me a photo of cards or things we send him so we know he’s got them. But I was surprised when this popped onto my screen. My hubby had sent a card of a black cat that I had printed last year. I had been experimenting with lino cutting and I had forgotten that I had made them. It’s a surprise and nice to see one of the again!

Pink cat?

Reflected pink stains my cat

He’s happy to sit and purr

He poddles his paws and stirs

The cover. Pink throw

And green throw,

And purple cushion.

He sits and fits

well in the space

But soon he’s gone

Off on a mission

Nuzzling bees

Climbing trees

He’s a big cat

Not fat

Just jolly…

Floating cat?

I tried to add a pattern underneath my kitty because he carpet he is lying on was dark and you couldn’t make out the outline easily. But I couldn’t finger paint around the cat very easily. Still I did an OK job. I wanted to add a black and white pattern to this photo of one of my black and white cats.

I love cats , they can be good companions and they are not as aloof as they are sometimes portrayed. I used Houndstooth check which seemed like a good choice. I should really try doing this in photoshop but I’m too tired to fire up my PC.

Purring

Sweet, hot cat,

Belly showing

Asleep in the heat

Paws poised to poddle

And knead my hand.

Belly rub time.

Purrs emanate loudly

He is content and happy

An electric fan

Wafts cool air over him

Purring and snoring

Asleep. Dreaming.

Eyedrops

Our big cat has a runny eye. He’s been diagnosed with conjunctivitis. The problem is that the first lot of eye drops irritated his eye and so we have been back to the vets for a gentler treatment. We have come back with an ointment for his eye and liquid antinflamatory drops to add to his food as he can’t have it on an empty stomach.. Now I’ve just got to catch him twice a day!

For information about cat care try finding the @katzenworld blog here… Not sure of its address…

Sleepy

He came in to sleep

Curled up, paw over nose

Relaxed, snoring

Sweet curves and purrs

Paws stretch,

Twitch and flick

Ears turning fast

What does he see?

In his rushing dream..

A do not disturb sign

Needed to let him sleep

Kittens!

Six years ago, the other girl cat and one of her brothers.

Facebook memories is great for reminding me of things like this. All four kittens went to good homes. I’m pleased with the contrast on this, it looks like an old painting. X

My cats daughter

My friend posted a photo of one of her cats yesterday, and it was my cats daughter. She looks so cute with her black mask. She’s grown into a full sized cat, but her sister, who was also adopted by my friend, is only tiny like her mum.

So it’s great to see her thriving. I love her black mask, reminds me of batman! Apparently she was looking in through a window to check if my friends dog was about, but it was in another room asleep.

It’s good to know how they are. I don’t hear about their brothers who were adopted by a couple a few miles away. We did see photos of them growing up though. It’s nice to keep track of them….
