Tray Cat

I ain't no stray cat, I'm a tray cat!

But here's the lyrics, for those interested:

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh,

Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence

Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent

I'm flat broke but I don't care

I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat,

A feline Casanova, hey man, thats where its at

Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man

Get my dinner from a garbage can

Yeah don't cross my path

I don't bother chasing mice around

I slink down the alley looking for a fight

Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,

"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."

I wish I could be as carefree and wild,

but I got cat class and I got cat style.

I don't bother chasing mice around

I slink down the alley looking for a fight

Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,

"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."

I wish I could be as carefree and wild,

but I got cat class and I got cat style.

Östra Nöbbelöv

Husse, Matte and I have spent a few days in Östra Nöbbelöv. It is quite exciting! First a long drive getting there, then check out the cottage and finally talk Matte into taking me for a walk as soon as we can. There are so many interesting smells in Östra Nöbbelöv, I had to spend most of the in the garden. No need for long walks when all can be found just outside the door!


This is the window with the best view of the garden




The stairs to Husse's and Matte's bed - where I also sleep at night - can still be kind of tricky





This is the other window with a great view of the garden.

Yummy!

This was yummy! Husse made a pancake this morning and left the bowl out. I have seen Matte lick bowls and if she gets cookie dough, I get pancake dough, right?! Husse spread ham- and mushroom stuff on the pancake and rolled it up for a picknick. I would have like to try the ham, but didn't get a chance to lick the pan.

I like pancakes!

Bunny hunting

I really enjoy bunny hunting. Usually I hunt bunnies from behind a window. It's like window shopping, but more action! This morning on our walk, I managed to track down two bunnies. I almost hunted them down, but as usual Matte was too slow. We had fun, though! And Matte got to know a new neighbour, who came out real curious of what scared the bunnies so!


Careful...


The staring game. I usually win!

Too late!

If you haven't had your breakfast yet... too late! I am now guarding the kitchen stuff on the "forbidden counter". A sign "do not touch" is not necessary.

No, we are not serving coffe now

Forbidden Counter

There's one counter in the kitchen where I'm not allowed to go. Matte has had a lousy excuse for it: "need to put the tray with our breakfast somewhere without Enok checking in out". Pfft! Lousy excuse, indeed. Being young and not knowing better, I have obeyed Matte. But no more! The Forbidden Counter is now conquerred and it is mine!!

King of the breakfast counter!

Into the Wild

I bet you thought it would be difficult going into the wild while in Limhamn. Well, you were wrong! Just look at these pictures. The fact that all three picutres were taken just across the street from where we live is not necessary to mention, is it?

I am the White Lion

Into the djungle

Pretty in Pink

Morning swim

Husse and Matte talk a lot about their vacation. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't mind them being on vacation. It's usually great fun for me with both morning and afternoon walks, or a stay at the cat hotel. This vacation, Husse and Matte talk about morning swims. I'm not much for water and as far as I understand, swimming is something you have to do in the water. Scary!
As for swimming, this is as far as I go. And I didn't mean for my tail to get wet... Why Husse keeps water in the sink, you'll have to ask him.

Coordinating

Doing two things at the same time is very difficult. But I am a master of that! I can shower and ignore Matte at the same time. I can sleep on Husse's lap and ignore him stroking me. I can take Matte for a walk and ignore the fact that she is with me.

And I can scratch and make a face at the same time!

Helping out in the kitchen

British Open is very interesting this year, Tom Watson is in the lead and Tiger Woods didn't make the cut. Husse has told me all about Tom Watson's previous achievements. Last night, when Husse and Matte came back from the movies (Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince), Matte offered to cook supper, so Husse and I could watch British Open. Husse looked at her and said "No offense, but I'll make something quick". I am proud to say that Husse allows me to help out in the kitchen!


Husse busy sorting small peas



I make sure Husse knows what he is doing

I am confident Husse does his job, so I check the dishes

What?

What? I guess I have to think about that... Hmm... curious! Did I hear... no, I probably didn't - I am deaf! Anyway...

Happy Birthday!

It is Nils' birthday tomorrow, on July 14th. Happy 1st Birthday, Nils!

Enok the Explorer

I am Enok the Explorer! Today I headed out to explore the surroundings of our garden. It was extraordinarily exciting! The small group (Matte and I) of brave adventurers headed out from the corner of our lot and crossed the street!! It was 06.30 on a Sunday morning, only the birds (and we) were out. I lead the way down Låglandsgången and it was a thrill, let me tell you. So many new smells! I was eager to explore more, but Matte said "enough" and carried me home. (Hmph, I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy!) But then she served me second breakfast and that made everything allright!!
PS. Did you know all these exciting new words beginning with an E? I think E is my favourite letter DS.

Deciding on where to explore

Matte didn't want to come with me through here... She said something about neighbours and invisible boundaries.

"Life is like a box of..."

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" Forrest Gump

Around here, most likely you'll find me in the box. Yesterday was a great box-day! First of all Husse and Matte came home early from work, so we could spend more time together. That was nice! And then they showed me they had been shopping! Matte bought a pair of sneakers, Husse got himself new golf shoes. That means two new boxes for me!! I love it I love it I love it!!

Life is like a box of Enok: full of fun, some worry and lots of love

Golf enthusiasts

Husse and I are now following every step of Anna Nordquist. She was doing really well the first day, but fell back yesterday. Not to miss anything, we had the golf channel on and the live leadership board on the computer. I helped Husse type. What would he do without me?

Come on!

Matte really needs to learn to keep up! I was enjoying the sun, rolling around on the nice, warm ground and having a great time. Found a buckeye to play with too! But then when I decided to get up and do something different, Matte was much too slow getting up and going the same way I was. Partly because she was trying to take a cute picture of me...

Oh, Matte, come on!

Management

Saturday morning. Matte and I had a nice, long walk. I was out for about an hour digging dirt, rolling around in the sun, just enjoying life. Had a good laugh when Matte realized she'd sat in bunny droppings :-)
Husse is doing garden work. Matte is sweeping the floor.



Next on my agenda: avoid getting caught
