Worried about him

Stressed! My old cat went out while I was shopping, I realised he was not around and I’ve just been calling him for an hour. I left the back door wide open, I kept whistling, it cuts through traffic noise. I also put messages on WhatsApp and got lots of support – one person even offered to come to look for him, he is not eating much except cat soups and drinking a lot of water. It’s such a worrying time.

I thought he was in the garden but its very overgrown and if I went out looking for him I could easily fall over. BUT thank goodness… He’s back! I feel like the boy who cried wolf!

Cat on a windowsill

A metal (cast iron) cold painted black and white cat on my windowsill in the kitchen. I have two. They both peep out through the Christmas cactuses. I don’t know why it’s there, it just is. It stares back at me, he’s quite startling in the right light. I’m seeing things better these days.

The other boy

One small boy cat

One small girl kitty

One huge

He’s big

He takes up space

Sprawling across the bed

No room for me

I don’t want to shove him

But I want my bed.

He jumps off

Then my little girl cat

Jumps up

And sticks in her claws!

A bit better

He looks like a kitten

Out in the sunshine

Flowers surround him

Lion hearted kitty

So full of life

But now in shadow.

Cats should be infinite

Beings of magic

Limitless

But as they say

*all good cats must come to an end”

Nine lives almost used up.

I can’t believe he will be gone.

Getting old

My old boy cat is getting thin. He is on medication for his heart, but that seems to be making him thinner. I don’t know his actual age because he was a rescue cat about 8 years ago. I didn’t find out his age then but he was fully grown. I’m having to accept he won’t be around for much longer. I’m giving him him lots of treats. He’s getting small meals but as often as he wants. I can’t make him eat but I can try and tempt him. At least he can sit in the sun if he wants.

A lady called Mara on Threads was offering to paint quick sketches of cats so I sent a picture of one of mine. She’s done a rapid watercolour sketch and it’s so full of character that I quite like it, it’s charming. I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing. X

Eye wash!

Argh! My cat is on tablets twice a day for heart failure. I mix the tablet with water and use a small syringe to get him to swallow it. I forgot I don’t have a lens on the right side of my glasses. So when I squirted the syringe half went in my eye! I have washed my face and doused my eye with water, then used my antibiotic eye drops… I hope I haven’t done any real harm!

One of my cats

Posted on September 7, 2025 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Cat, golden green eyes, Little cat, Nicknames, Sweet, Tuxedo catLeave a comment

Sometimes called Gussy goo, also Buss puss, my littlest cat has many nicknames varying depending on my mood. She’s a sweet little cat and likes sticking her claws in my leg. She often gets through to the skin so I have to fend her off. She loves to nuzzle me for a few minutes but doesn’t stay for long. She was a rescue cat, one of about 20 that lived with an old lady, so I don’t think she got much attention and so she’s not that bothered to being fussed. She will sleep on the bed with me but usually gets off again after 20 minutes.

Like all my cats she’s black and white with piercing golden green eyes. A resl character.

Bad cat poem

My Cat won’t perform
He doesn’t do tricks
He’s not cute or cuddly
Won’t chase after sticks
But he is loving
Likes to purr
Sleeps most of the day
With nice soft fur.

Dancing to sleep

He twirled around

Danced into a ball

Finding a snug corner

On the chair.

Spinning and twisting

Slipping into sleep

Nose under tail.

Comfy, warm, sweet.
