Magnetic bags?

What is it about cats and bags? I caught the cat trying to get his head in a small paper bag yesterday, it hadn’t had food in it but he was intrigued anyway. They like the cloth bags from the local supermarket, but even get in the orange plastic carrier bags if I leave them on the sofa while I’m unloading the groceries. Sometimes though if I use the bag again they go off it (it must smell different).

What other things do they sleep on or in? Cat beds, a cat tree, cushions and chair throws, basically wherever they want and can fit. Occasionally they even sleep on the sofa or our chairs, but that’s usually after we have gone to bed. Yeah, cats rule round here!

Shopping bag cat

Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was supermarket. My cat loves sleeping on a supermarket canvas shopping bag. It’s better for the environment too I think?

Oh my toes!

I’ve noticed my big toes are hurting again. They really are sore and when I try and sleep at night I have to pull the covers off them because the pressure of the duvet on them hurts and keeps me awake. Then I have to try and cover them up a bit because they get cold!

I was diagnosed with gout in my feet, then thumb a couple of years ago but I forgot. I’ve got quite a few things wrong with me and I don’t always remember all of them. I just keep taking the tablets. I hope I don’t moan about things too much, but sometimes things are maddening. But insomnia is debilitating, anything that can help me get to sleep and stay asleep would be good. Sometimes meditation takes my mind off things, perhaps I will try that tonight…

One last post

I wish I was a cat

Lying on a bag

Tongue peeping out

No need to shout

Asleep and happy

Having a nap, he

Curves round

Belly upwards

A really sweet cat

Dreaming of birds

Seen through a window

In the sun

On a spring morning.

Cat on stairs

The cat came in and plonked himself down to sleep in a quiet place last night, partway up the stairs! He settled down to snooze, which was fine, but at bedtime, he was in the way. However cats have pride of place here, so because there was room to put a foot next to him we let him be. Then during the night I had to come downstairs a couple of times. He was still there, curled up. Luckily he has a white band across his back so I could see he was there. This morning? Still having a kip. I gave him a couple of cat treats which he ate. We are letting him be, I checked and could see no injuries so he must just be tired. X

Flopped cat!

He came in out the rain, jumped up on the chair arm and flopped down next to me. Head hanging down by my knee. So comfortable and relaxed. He wasn’t fully asleep though. As soon as I took his photo he decided to move.

All three of our cats were within a few feet of each other earlier on. I think it’s because we are just having a couple of heaters on in the living room to save energy. So they are huddling a bit to keep warm. Mi d you I’ve got the living room light on for a change. Sometimes it’s like living in a cave when we just have a couple of lamps on. I can imagine myself doing paintings of cats on the walls, like cave paintings. X

The cat found a box

Posted on January 25, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Box, Cardboard, Cat, Parcel, Sleeping, Snug, Tuxedo cat, WashingLeave a comment

We got a package today in a cardboard box. Before you could say Jack Robinson, one of the cats had co-opted it as a snug, draft free bed. I don’t know how long it will last. He’s slightly too big for it and one of the sides is a bit loose. He’s just lain down after having a good wash. Snuggling and curling, paw over nose.

What makes cats nest? You see them on videos, squeezing into tiny spaces, climbing into holes in virtually anything including empty washing machines!

Comfort-cat

He couldn’t be more comfortable

Like a bug in a rug

A chick in a nest

A coiled warm snake

A dog in a vest

A bear in its den.

A goldfish in its bowl

A bee in its hive.

He’s happy to have his belly rubbed.

A comfort-cat enjoying life.

Great purrs-onality!

Cat on the bed

Nice to go upstairs and find a cat snuggled on the bed. It was different with one of our old cats though. She would crawl under the covers so you didn’t know she was there until she nipped your toe or ankle! This one sometimes gets under the sheets for a few minutes when I’m already in bed, a quick few purrs then I think she gets too hot and goes off into her hidey hole in the wardrobe where I have an old crocheted blanket. I’m glad we have cats.

Snoozin’

Posted on December 16, 2022 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Cat, Dreaming, Paws, Poem, Poetry, Sleeping, snoozing, Tom cat, Tuxedo catLeave a comment

Snoozin’ on my sisters blankets

But he likes to sleep on bags

A compromise of yarn

And a linen surface.

Paw over nose, keeping light out

Dreaming of who knows what?

Comfy and warm,

How many hours

Will he snooze?
