The kittens are coming!

They're very good, now.

Really?
That's great!
Good pussycats!

s'funny.
Possum loves being involved in bed-making - like the Woollies - it's a big game.

Fortunately, near 13 year old cats are not as active as kittens - so there's no flying around and only minimal attacking. He just dares me to move him!

Woollies just made their debut at a small party.

On the whole they behaved very well. Sebastian had to be banished to the study for a while for unruliness, but overall they were quite charming.

Viola ignored all the food until the orange and almond liqueur birthday cake came out, when she suddenly became desperate for her share. She loved it!

I now have a huge chocolate mud cake in the fridge, as there were several birthdays, and the patisserie gave me bigger ones than I wanted. Only a couple of slices have gone from it....I think I'll take it to work. It'll be gone in no time! Helen took the remains of her gluten free almond and orange cake home with her. It was wonderfu! I am glad it's out of the house, or I fear I would have eaten it.

I also have a much larger stock of wine than I began with.

It's great Possum is still so playful. He's a character, is he not?

Including yours, Deb?

No...mine is August 7th.

Well, damn!
I had your birthday flowers all ready to post & everything!
Really.

Looks like you've got quite a bit of chocolate cake in your fridge right now.
Wish I could have some!
That would really hit the spot. Yum.

The woollies aren't interested in cake, are they?

edit: I just read about Viola & the the orange and almond liqueur birthday cake.
What did Sebastian do to disgrace himself last night?

Last night? Nothing, I think...he got banished for a while today for being too ebullient and for jumping on the table after food.

VIOLA just disgraced herself by vomiting floridly in my bedroom after eating large amounts of grass. She felt MUCH better afterwards and asked for more food.

They both love cake...not that cake is generally allowed into the house! They weren't allowed any of the chocolate....it's apparently bad for cats and dogs.

You don't fancy popping over for cake and good wine, do you? I also have some lovely dips, some smoked salmon, great little cheese and leek pies, marinaded chicken wingettes, some Buderim ginger beer that'll clean out your pipes and good coffee.

Et tu, Margo?

The life of the party they were, obviously!

People certainly reacted when he jumped up on the table amidst all the glass ware and food....not to mention his sneak attack on the meringues.

Yum!
I'm on my way!
Margo, if you get there first, leave some for me!

I'm on my way.

Oh good!!!!!

Yay!!!!

I could use some partying food!

Mind you, I'm just throwing out the leftovers that I wasn't able to eat from last weekend. Fortunately, that cake (dairy-free - yuk!) went home with the birthday girl. I know why they invented butter and milk and those good things - they make cakes soooo much better!

On another topic - I suspect MsOlga has a birthday somewhere about now!

Huh??

He's the funniest cat I've ever owned - also the biggest! Quite a clown when he wants to be.
He still plays - he has a couple of toy mice that fly around the place. His favourite game is to chase dry cat food - thrown one pellet at a time - around the house - or more specifically the living area - where I'm seated.

And he certainly craves attention - but is extremely timid when there are visitors. Most people never see him.

That's frustrating.....when you have a great cat with a quirky personality and they are too timid for anyone else to see how great they are!

Can you get some photos of him hurtling around?

She DOES?????!!!!!


Msolgaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
