Posing on the stairs

Hi again! Guess what - I got to go outside on the leash again! It is so much fun! Best part is that I decide everything, Matte just comes along for the walk. She was awfully proud of me when I scratched my claws on the tree. (Indoors I have a curtain - Matte is not too happy about that, but I don't really care...) Today is a nice and warm day and I hope I'll get another walk when I wake up in the evening. Right now I'm exhausted and I'd like a nap. I tried the stairs, but Husse and Matte kept climbing back and forth over me. Not very peaceful. But I did pose very nicely for Matte, don't you agree?

Catousin!

Something very important happened on July 14th, 2008: I became a catousin! Matte's Sister and Sister's Husband had a baby boy. I still haven't met him, but we seem to like the same thing already: cuddle with Matte! And I think we're about the same size as well! I'm sure Baby and I will become great friends.

Out in the (not so) wild!

Today has been such an exciting day! Well, not all day... It started out as usual: Matte and me had breakfast together and then she and Husse left for work. I watched the house (=... slept all day long...). When Matte came home today she had a strange idea: she wanted me to try the leash. I don't mind it, really. Not used to it, that's all... Anyway, with the leash on, I got to go into the garden and explore! It was so exciting, I smelled everything that got in my way. Especially the areas where other cats tend to stop. Since my expedition (about three hours ago now), I've slept. It's quite exhausting being outdoors like that. But I really look forward 'til next time!

Still a bit hesitant, still careful

Brave: I'm heading for the birdbath!

Proud adventurer!

Another friend!

This is Chippen. He and his family came to visit Husse, Matte and me today. It was very exciting! We all enjoyed the visit very much and look forward to seeing them all again soon.

New friends

Husse and Matte made some new friends when they were away. I'd like to introduce you to some of them.
