A Cat Called Freya

Mommacat’s been away for the last week, so Freya and I have been bonding.

We recently had delivery of Da bird, and true to form, she LOVES IT! Unfortunately, it seems that I’m allergic to feather-based cat toys. Luckily, I bought the 4-pack of Dabird extras, and in there is a glittery sorta thing that she loves just as much as the spinning feather, although it’s not as impressive to me. Da glittery thing I simply have no idea what she’s doing here! ..read more

One year ago today, my first cat, Scampie died from kidney/renal failure. She was 14 years old, and a much loved member of my family.

It all started about 2 weeks earlier, when we noticed she was vomiting fairly regularly, so we took her to the vet.

He thought it sounded a little like kidney issues so ordered a blood test and put her on a drip, as she was so dehydrated from vomiting. I was surprisingly strong at this news, as ..read more

This is a really old internet meme, but rather than just post the picture here, I thought I would recreate it myself, and see if any of my neighbours noticed it.

The original shows some dumb wild Pallas cat, but Freya and I both agree that Freya’s more awesome than some zoo wildie!

I’ll let you know if any of my neighbours notice or mention it…

Have you seen this cat? Because it’s awesome!

Freya’s been doing very well at cuteness school this week.

She’s certainly been scoring A+ with me anyway!

Unfortunately for you readers, I got a new camera last week, so the gratuitous picture quota is going to be on the up for a while, till the novelty wears off!

Guess what I discovered in my bed this morning when I walked in? I don’t really want to be encouraging her to get under the covers, just in case I sit on the bed and ..read more

Ever since I wrote a casual piece a while ago about a rescue Maine Coon we saw, the majority of visitors to this blog have been searching for the words Maine Coon!!!

68% of my readers arrived having typed Maine Coon into google!

That’s just not fair. But if you can’t beat ‘em, Join ‘em!

I wonder if I type Maine Coon again, I’ll get another 100 visitors?

If you arrived here hoping to read about those rather large and impressive felines, ..read more

I’m planning on making her a kitty cake, but I’m not sure I can think of a clever way of doing it.

Imagine meaty victoria sponge? fruitcake made with REAL mincedmeat?

I think I might just get the most expensive little can of sheba or whatever catches my eye, and just serve it up in a cake shape.

Whose benefit do you REALLY think this whole birthday celebration is for?

Also, Mommacat has been in hospital with a gallstone, so Freya made her a ..read more

We had the best snow today for 18 years!

I wondered what Freya would think of it – She is looking out of the window, but I couldn’t say if it was more than usual, or even if she looks puzzled as to why it looks so different!

Anna took her outside to see what she would do, but to be honest, she only seemed to wan tto come back inside!

Cats eh? No sense of adventure!
