Introducing....

... The newest residents of the Castle!!!




Ta-da!!!





Minchin



 

Bukkit

Yup, we went to get one cat and came home with two!

Nutter is NOT impressed.  Sausage is also not really happy about it, but she at least seems curious about them.  Nutter is hissing and growling and sulking.  She did the same thing when Sausage moved in, so I'm sure she'll get over it.  I'm doing my best to ignore the bad behaviour and praise the good. 

Minchin is a boy and so far has been a bit reserved, but he purrs a lot and is quite smoochy.

Bukkit is a beautiful girl and is a bit crazy.  She also has quite a purr on her and likes to snuggle up with Chyken. 

They are both about 8 weeks old and came from Ingrid's Haven.  If you're near Melbourne and in the market for a cat you should go see her.

It has been very hard to get photos of them as they don't sit still for a second, always off exploring and climbing up things.  Including people.  I already have scratches all over my arms and hands.  Please excuse the grotty state of my floors.  You just scrolled up to check them out, didn't you?  Gah!


How many cats makes a crazy cat lady?  Please tell me it is more than four....

Things I Know - Volume Five

Linking up again with Shae from Yay for Home!

I know our new TV is super big and super awesome.

I know that the new TV cabinet and way we have the lounge room set up now makes the room seem much bigger.

I know that pulling a muscle in your neck is NOT awesome.

I know that codeine IS awesome.

I know that having dinner every week with some of my favourite people is fantastic.

I know I have missed my sister while she has been away and I'm glad she's on her way home.

I know wish I had someone to clean the shower, it's the job I hate the most.

I know we have two of the strangest cats ever.

I know one of them thinks she is a crocodile.

I know I wouldn't swap them for anything.

I know I'm a bit addicted to Twitter.  (Are you?  Look me up!)

I know I don't spend anywhere near as much time on Facebook since I fell in love with Twitter.

I know there are far worse things I could be addicted to.

I know that one of my godsons turns 1 this week and there's gonna be a great party tomorrow to celebrate.

I know there will be cake.

I know there will be pizza after the party.

I know that Chickens and Bees is hosting its first ever giveaway and it is starting tomorrow!

I know you should check back here tomorrow for details!

I know you should click on the button and go and see what other people know...

I know you should then tell everyone what YOU know!

My Cat Is A Weirdo

I’ve been home sick this week and have spent most of that time in bed, which meant the cats did too, as they have enjoyed being curled up with me asleep.  Sausage spent some time this morning licking the bedside lamp.  No, I don’t know why.  I also don’t have any proof of that, because I was snuggled up in the bed at the time, but I do have proof of some other mental behaviour because today I finally felt well enough to emerge from under the doona and the cats did too.

Sausage has found a new place to stalk me from…  What, you can’t see her?  I’ll zoom in…

Nutter couldn’t care less…

 

When I found them, Sausage was actually asleep up there, but by the time I found the camera she had woken up.

A bit later on I found her here...

Bag Cat?

See?  I told you she is a weirdo!.

What stupid things do your pets get up to?

P.S. I am going to set up a page on here with all the buttons of the blogs I read… If you are a blogger and you have a button, can you let me know (Via a comment here or on Facebook or The Twitter) so I can add yours?  Searching through everyone’s blogs on the off chance they have one is taking forever!

The Great Temptation

We buy little treat things for the cats.  The ones we buy are called 'Temptations' and our cats LOVE them.  We call it cat heroin.  We only have to slightly shake the bag and they come from wherever they are in the Castle in about 10 seconds.

They don't get some every day, but usually a couple of times a week.  They had some last night and I left the bag on the coffee table, which is where we always leave it.

I was sitting on the couch catching up on my blog reading this afternoon when I heard strange noises coming from the hallway, so I went to investigate.

This is what I found...

What?  Me?

Little bitch had got the packet and clawed at it until it opened up.  She was having herself a merry old time stuffing her face!

The Evidence

I have now put them on the top of the fridge.  Let's see if she can get them from up there!!!

Vlog - The Dialect Game

This is a first for Chickens and Bees, a video blog post!  Rachele from The Nearsighted Owl did one of these last week and I have been waiting until I got my voice back to do my own. 

I had to say the following words:

Say these words: Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

And then I had to answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
So, without further ado, here I am... In the flesh.  Hold on to you hats!





I would LOVE it if you played along... Leave me a comment with a link to your version of the dialect game!


Today I am grateful for the heater.
