A Cat Called Freya

Looking at the last batch of pics, I loved the one with her mouth open, and so I thought I’d enlarge it a little. click for an even biger version – I love the way her bottom lip pulls down – looks a bit like a big cat’s mouth. (Hey, if all her kittens look like lions, I can imagine she looks like a tiger!)

Her wee problem is still ongoing. One suggestion was to put some citronella oil down ..read more

So…. Freya went outside to explore the garden today!

She seems pretty fine on the harness, as long as we weren’t too bossy with it – at first, every time we gave a little tug on it, she’d sort of fall over backwards and lie down, but she soon got over that.

She had a good walk around the garden, pretty much jumped out of her skin every time either of us trod on a leaf or a twig, and after ..read more

You know I said that Cats don’t wee where they eat?

Well. some very naughty cats do. ok?Yesterday, we had a wee-free day, and then this morning, she blew it. Pretty much straight after breakfast, (in wee corner) she went.

Maybe she’s pleased how easy I’ve made it for her? Maybe she’s secretly a bloke cat, and just LOVES the idea of having a toilet right next to her breakfast bowl? I’ve considered it might be convenient myself in the past…

Anyway, I ..read more

Well, on Sunday, we were out for the afternoon, and when we came back, after a short while, Anna noticed her skulking around under the desk again, and yep, she’d had a wee in the same spot again.

My instant guess is it’s a psychological issue, rather than a physical/medical one, but we’ll see. It seems that both times she’s done it, we’ve been out for 5+ hours, and she’s had a wee pretty soon after we’ve come home.

I’d read ..read more

This afternoon, we came home about 16:00 after being out since breakfast, and after about 20 mins, Freya went to the back of the desk in my office and had a wee on the carpet.

IT STINKS!!!! Much worse than her litter tray has ever smelt. It’ was an ammonia sort of smell, so I’m pretty sure it’s wee.

She’s never had an accident before, and this morning, I scooped the solids out of her litter tray and topped it off ..read more

You know those really expensive cat toys you can buy?

Of course you do. We’ve all gone out and bought a lovely fancy toy for our cats, whilst secretly being perfectly aware that it’s more for our benefit than the cats?

And as usual the more expensive the toy, the less they’re interested?

And the cheaper and naffer the toy is… you know whats coming Watch the video….

What a fantastic day to have a garden party! Blistering hot sun, and more cats to look at than you can shake a feather toy at!

We felt quite the celebrities, almost everyone there was full of praise for the “Beautiful Bengals” and quote of the year goes to Leslie – “We hadn’t seen any Bengals before, and it was quite a shock – they were jumping around in their cages like the place was full of monkeys!”

It still makes me ..read more

So, we’re building up to the day when we try Freya with the outside – maybe on a harness – and step one is wearing a collar – I’ve also heard about a gadget called loc8tor and that’ll need a collar thing too, so she needs to learn to wear one.

Of course, she doesn’t seem to enjoy having a collar on, although I think it’s the little metal disc that really bugs her.

We then tried to put on the front ..read more

So here’s the promised video of little miss Freya missing her mum, even though her Dad’s standing next to her.

Does it sound like anyone else’s Bengal?

It’s still good for entertainment though – as soon as she hears he video, she goes mad looking to see where the meow is coming from

Hope to meet someone there, and if not, we’ll take pics!!
