Magic Plays Pool!

Damien plays pool, and Magic sits on the table till he can no longer stand the balls bouncing off him. Then he tries to catch them as Damien sinks them!

Happy 6th Purrday Greebo

Today my beautiful, sleek, talkative, head-bumping Greebo is 6 years old!

Greebo, who is always the civilised one.
Who seems to look down on frivolity unless it involves his favourite catnip-stuffed-fish.

Who always seems to be a grownup.

Who looks on whilst Taxi and Magic run around and wrestle like lunatics.

Who will occasionally play a game of tag with Magic, or wrestle with Taxi a little.

Who is definitely the alpha-male in this feline household.

Who loves to lie on top of things.

Who ignored me for months after I dared bring Taxi the kitten home with me.

Who was clever enough to learn to open doors and closets- and teach Taxi to do the same.

Happy purrday my darling Greebo, my sweet beebalobees, my precious pudding tat!

Magic's Favourite Pozzie...

He just loves a towel on the floor! Even if its damp- like this one at the kitchen door, which leaks when it rains- he'll curl up on it!

Anywhere there's a towel on the floor, Magic will curl up on it.

Taxi Rambling

Last night, Taxi decided things were too dull around here and he wanted to liven it up a little.

At about 10pm, we were already drifting off to sleep- lights off an everything- when I realised Greebo was being very vocal, and very restless.
He talks a lot, but he doesn't usually just walk around meowing. He was up the stairs and down the stairs, on the balcony outside my bedroom (where the door is almost always open for them) and inside again.
I knew something was up, so I got up and went to see what he was moaning about. He was on the balcony wall outside my bedroom, meowing, and came to the door when I asked him what was up, then looked down over the side of the wall again.
I realised one of the cats may be outside as I couldn't see Magic or Taxi, so I went looking for them.
Greebo followed me down the stairs, and then Magic appeared. Both of them headed for the doors and windows downstairs so I knew Taxi was out.
I figured it had happened when my son had had his last smoke and locked up for the night.
It took us a few minutes, but we found him and he slunk back in through the front door.

Then at about 4:40AM, I heard two loud noises but I was half asleep... then I realised Greebo was again walking in and out of my bedroom vocalising like mad.
I just knew Taxi was outside again, and the noise I'd heard was his trying to open the front door ('coz he does that).
When I let him in again, I did a quick tour of the house and found no less than TWO windows that were wide open!
I'm sure it was the maid, for whatever reason, and I'm more than a little miffed at her.

Needless to say I didn't sleep too well, and all the cats have been inside and accounted for since I closed the windows.

Magic Is A Year Old...

Happy 1^st purrday Magic!

This sheepskin "donut" was bought for him when we found him, and he and Greebo and Taxi now all share it. It is a great show of how he has grown, and on the picture of him as a tiny baby, its scrunched up a little inside a desk alcove!

Magic cat, you provide all of us with endless entertainment, and you certainly keep your two housemates on their toes!

You are almost too beautiful to be a tomcat, and we are all so glad we found you!
