R.I.P. our lovely cat Meowgi

We have a sad news. Our lovely cat Meowgi died on 17th of December. He was run over by a car. Some very nice people took him to VET, but sadly he was already dead.

Back from Christmas holiday!

Ahh, Christmas is over and back to work. Such a hard thing to do after days of doing nothing but lazying on the sofa and eating chocolate! :-) I had a little help with the doing nothing!

Cats & pregnancy

It is really funny, but I am pretty sure that our cats have known that I am pregnant even before it showed on the "stick". :-) They both got more cuddly with me and as I realised they never leave me on my own at home. At least one is always in the room with me. Especially in the morning when I am getting dressed & putting makeup on. Sometimes even Meowgi (the boy) follows me to to bathroom at night and then back to the bedroom. :-)))

Mewogi's usual position.

Bad and unlucky day

Yesterday I had one of the "bad" days. You know the days when your luck just got lost and everything just go wrong. You will not get any warning. I got up as usually, had a shower and went to work. That is when it started. When unlocking my car door I have noticed a big scratch on my door! :-((( Another one?

I have already a number of them on my car. None of them my mistake! I would appreciate if other people had a little bit of consideration and stopped damaging my little runner. Somebody just opened their car door into mine.

Third cat in the house!

We are having a few builders & boiler man in the house this week and they need to have our back door open. It means that our microchip cat latch is out of order. Our street has about 20 resident cats and they like to use our fence as nice walkway.

Curious cheeky ones have sometimes a little look around our house. It drives my husband crazy! :-))) You will turn around and there is some different cat in our living room! Our neighbour has this big white + tabby girl and she is very nosey! She get along with our cats (Meowgi loves her, but she is not very impressed by him). Fizzy likes to play with our cats toys and she loves cat nip bags.

Here is Fizzy (she has her name on the collar) scrubbing herself on cat nip bags.

Does your cat use the toilet?

Our cats are house trained. We have a inside toilet + outside toilet too. We keep our cats locked in for a night, because of possible traffic accidents and our cats not being the most clever ones. Also we sleep better if we know that they are in and save. :-)
Our cats will not use the loo during the night. Only if they really, really need it. They just don't like smelly house. :-)
It doesn't bother us, only thing is they will not use even the outside toilet when let out in the morning!
They will use our garden!
This weekend I have even saw Meowgi using toilet as a bed! Micka did that a few weeks ago.  Do you think that the problem is that our toilets are just too clean? You know not smelling like a toilet should do? I clean it with Dettol wipes + gloves. So it doesn't smell of cats pee.

Weird and wonderful cats

I was looking up all my photos of our cats and realised that we have a lots of really funny ones.
It will be pity if they will just stay in my camera. They are true projection of our cats live. They do not take anything seriously and everything is just one big play. We learnt that it is really good idea to have camera near in case of them doing something funny.
Only place when I will not let cats in is the bathroom. It is really weird to have a cat watch you when you go the the toilet. It freaked me out. Also our cats are always looking curious at us when we do not have any clothes on. (When getting dressed) I would like to know what they are thinking! :-)

Here are some of the weird and wonderful pictures of Meowgi and Micka.

Meowgi and his sleeping step

Cat with the hole

I wasn't writing for a while. We had very, very stressful week. My husband's dad had a heart attack. He is after operation and at home. When visiting him just hours after he was released from the hospital we have found him eating chocolate cake! So he has to be better. :-)
Then our cat Meowgi was not well. He got attacked last Friday and has been not eating for almost 2 days. Then  he got a little bit better and started eating and being like his cuddly himself when we found this big, big golf size ball in his tummy!

Happy cats with dog bed

We have won a little battle with our lovely cats. They sleep with us at night and sometime they will wake us up when jumping on the bed. Also they like to lay together. So we bought them big "dog" bed and put it at the foot of your bed.
They like it!

Is your pet sleeping with you?

Answer is: Yes.
After more than a year we have gave up (mostly because the meowing and scratching the door) and let our cats sleep in our bedroom. It wasn't without a little problems like cats being so excited about it that they started play fight right on top of us. :-) Or waking us up at 3:00 in the morning because they wanted cuddle.

Being safe

When we bought our house we have known that we want to have certain safety in place. One of the first things we installed were smoke alarms, heat alarms and carbon monoxide sensor. In our little 2 bedroom cottage we have 4.

Our monster cats

We were both working yesterday. I mean that we both had our second jobs shifts yesterday night. It doesn't happen very often. My full time job (as administrator/ accountant/ receptionist) is from 9:00 - 17:30 and then if I have a second job shift I start from 18:00  to often 23:00. I usually do Tuesdays and Wednesdays and my husband Fridays and Saturdays ( in different restaurant) but sometimes it happens like yesterday and we are both not at home for a evening.
My husband has usually time to pop home between jobs and feed our cats but not any time for their daily cuddle.
 When that happens they turn into little monsters. You know our cats are very well behaved and lovely but if they want something they will let us know.

Micka our girl

Our rescue cats

It is 1 year of us adopting our two black & white and white & black. Micka (girl) and Meowgi (boy) are siblings and they were 9 months old when we took them in from Battersea dogs & cats home.
