Pillow

I'm starting to get it... How useful Skuggan is in this household, that is. She is a very comfortable pillow!!

Strange smell

Husse and Matte had friends over last night. It was very nice and since the friends are staying over, I got to check their bed. It was nice and soft - cat approved! After dinner there was a strange smell, I just had to find out what it was...

Best cat gift

The best gift you can get a cat - apart from the little nice cat nip mice, food and shelter for a homeless cat - is love. Cuddle and a throat rub. That's it! And guess what? It's really our gift back to you as well: love and a purr!!!

Lunch

Lunch in December has to be served with red napkins. It goes without saying. And a sleepy cat. That is an absolute must, any month of the year!

Christmas time

So, it's Christmas time again. How do we know? Well, Matte brought out our special Christmas table mats! It is rather pretty, isn't it? And then Matte ordered herself a December gift. I really think it's pretty! I wonder if she was thinking of me?

Germ or Gem?

Skuggan says I'm her boyfriend. I guess I am. At least we live together. And have two humans together. That's a lot of shared responsibility. But I can't decide if I should stay off the girl germs or accept her as the gem Husse and Matte says she is?

Pink Lady

I love pink, that is my favourite colour. My best toy is a pink blanket. My tongue is really pink and contrast beautifully with my white teeth and black fur. That's what Matte says anyway. My boyfriend is very pretty too. He even got pink ears, a pink nose and pink pads! I love him.

Kotte!

Our friend Kotte is back! Or his grandchild... they all look the same! It is nice to have him in the garden anyway. Despite Matte's beautiful Kotte-home that has been placed in the garden, Kotte decided to build himself his own nest. Also, Matte is not keen on throwing away food, not even cat food that I just won't eat. Kotte is happy to eat the left-overs. Win - win situation!

While on the subject...

While on the pee-subject, Skuggan and I find Husse and Matte kind of embarrassing pretty much every day. When they come up the stairs from emptying the litter boxes, there is usually a report too: "two pee and a poo". Now really, who would benefit from that information?! Matte claims it is for them to keep an eye on our health. If there is a change, it is good to know what "normal" is. Huh. Peeback time.

Peemail

Matte and I took a walk yesterday, it was a beautiful day! Sunny, nice and warm but still a bit of a chill in the air. You wouldn't believe how much there is to check out on a day like that. I had so many peemails to go through, it took us about half an hour to go back inside. Especially one message was really long and took some time to figure ut how to respond. I opted for the easy choise in the end: pee...!

Watching tv

Please don't change the channel, I'm watching that show! I just nap during commercials...

Yawn!

Oh, silly silly Matte, you really can't post that picture of me! Have you no shame? Apparantly not... I was soo tired and Matte had her camera out. I just couldn't help myself yawning and stretching. She's a bit embarrasing, my Matte. But loving. We get along so much better now. Actually, they seem quite trustworthy, Husse and Matte.

Summerdays

Skuggan and I are enjoying these beautiful summerdays, before fall takes over. Fall is fun too, with all the falling leaves. Is that why it is called fall? Because everthing falls off?

Nap shots

The blog entry title says it all...




Enough pictures

Yup. I've been in enough pictures now. Decided to take a break. Went to hide when Matte brought out the camera. Almost succeeded.

Tack för maten!

Idag fick Matte hjälp av Lovisa och Linnea att lägga upp mat på min aktivitets-tallrik. Det är jätteroligt att fiska upp matbitarna ur den. Där är små koppar så att jag får lirka med tungan, där är stora koppar där jag får fiska upp godbitarna med klorna och så finns det piggar, så maten åker slalom mot min mage! Det finns en tunnel också, det är lättast. Först kikar jag in i tunneln för att se om det ligger någon bit där, sen plockar jag ut den med tassen. Lätt som en plätt! Tack för maten, Lovisa och Linnea!! Kram, Skuggan

Cat flap!

This summer Husse installed a cat flap on our balcony door. It is really great, we can go out and in whenever we want to. We are still not comfortable opening the little flap ourselves, so Matte has tied it in an open-position. That is just until we have learned that we can come and go as we wish. Isn't it a great idea!!


Ray of light

Make the best of what you got! Even if it is windy outdoors, the sun can be really nice. To get an even better spot, you might have to get on the dining room table. We really enjoyed our time well-spent in the sun! Husse and Matte made a good decision too: find somewhere else to have supper!

Postcards!

Skuggan and I got postcards today! It was very exciting. Aunt Jenny and her family sent them and they are so perfect! Skuggan got the black cat and I got the noisy cat... I wonder why? Thank you so much!!

Red carpet

When I was at the vet on Tuesday, Matte put out the red carpet for me. It ended up in a box and I love to nap in a box! This was really special treatment. To make sure it was comfortable for poor-little-operated-on me, Skuggan tried it first. She approved, so I have been able to nap in the box for a few days and nights now. I like it. Very much. Thank you, Matte!

Soldier boy

Oops, my little soldier helmet fell off... That must have been when I fell asleep. Husse and Matte found me with my head resting on the helmet. They thought I looked cute and said that I am a very brave boy. I didn't understand, but just in case I decided to spend the night in their bed. Today I know why I am their brave soldier boy: dental check-up at the vet. Big sigh. Unfortunately an operation as well, I lost 2 teeth today. I don't have many left now.

Bird rescue

I spy with my little eye... a bird caught in a net! It was very exciting!! I touched it with my paw and it squealed. That's when Matte understood what I had found. Unfortunately, she wouldn't let me play with it. Instead she carried me inside. I watched with great interest when Matte went back out again, with a pair of scissors, to rescue the bird. She was successful and the bird, a female blackbird, jumped out into the bushes. Despite the fact that I am a cat, I am rather proud that Matte and I rescued a bird!

Skuggan's Adventure

Husse and Matte had been out all day. When they got back, Matte took Enok for a walk on his leash. I was really curious to go out, but Matte said no. Luckily, after a few minutes, Husse decided to talk to Matte and Enok through the door, so he opened it up. I found the perfect opportunity and sneaked out! Wow, it was really fun to go outdoors again. I got to sniff a few places very close to the house before they were on to me. Matte picked me up! Yeah, you heard me... She picked me up! I really did n-o-t like that. Husse was sitting inside with a dish of my favourite snack, so I headed back to him as fast as I could. Matte? Well, she taped the scratch on her arm and has a bandaid on her finger. Serves her right. She tries to be friends again, but I make sure she doesn't get too close. Who knows what she might do next time?

Celebration!

Cousin Nils just turned 3 years old. Yippie! Husse and Matte went to the birthday party. They got lunch and cake and it was wonderful. One of the cats stopped by to say happy birthday and was treated with some left-over lunch: salmon. She seems to enjoy it!

Purrfect place

Salisbury, England must be the purrfect city to go shopping in! I wish Husse and Matte had found time to go in and see what the store offers. Maybe next time!

Roscoe

This is a picture of Matte and Roscoe. Matte was happy to meet Roscoe, as he reminded her of me. I guess I am flattered. Husse is very loyal, he said that my tail is prettier than Roscoe's!

Unfaithful?

Husse and Matte went on vacation. We got to go to the cat hotel, which was nice. Do you think Husse and Matte cheated on us? They found Roscoe, the white cat, and his girlfriend in England. Do you see the black cat in the lower right corner? It is a pretty picture anyway!

Mow the lawn, please

Our gardeners have been a bit lazy, the lawn hasn't been mowed in a while. Hmpf. But today they went about it and it looks quite proper. They planned a small, second lawn for us a while back. Unfortunately it looks more like a swamp.

Morning nap on Husse's lap

This just might be the best time of the day: late Saturday morning breakfast for Husse and Matte. Matte is clearing the table and I get some special Husse-and-me-time! My Husse's-lap-morning-nap is a treat for both of us. Husse gently gives me a massage and I dream of catching birds while Husse keeps an eye on the news and tells Matte what is going on in the world.

New litter box

Last night it rained really hard. That's okay, we were all indoors. But suddenly there was water all over the floor in the room where Skuggan and I have our litter boxes! We really didn't like having to go through water to the litter box. But when a cat's gotta go, a cat's gotta go! This morning Husse and Matte cleaned the basement and rearranged some stuff. For some very weird reason they brought the litter boxes upstairs and gave us two really tall and tiny boxes to use downstairs... I wonder what they were thinking?

Visitor

Sometimes our friends stop by and say hello. This fellow is a rare visitor, it is always fun to see him. He's a real fighter, has a crooked tail and there always seems to be a scratch here or there. He's very shy, so he usually leaves when he sees Husse or Matte.



Yay!

Yay! This is fun! I have my very own, pink blanket where I play with my toys. Just a second ago I had a ball in my paws - where is it now? Sometimes Enok comes to play too, but he likes to chase me more than play with my toys. Yes, the toys are mine, mine, mine!

Shrimp? Yes, please!

Husse is out with his friends tonight, so Matte thought the three of us should do something special. Sure enough, she had planned an excellent dinner for us: shrimp! Matte had her shrimp sandwiches after having given us ours. Oh, it was absolutely delicious! Hoping for a bit more, we both decided to join her at the table. Or rather: on the table. Skuggan watched every bite Matte put in her mouth. Luckily, Matte is a bit weak-hearted when it comes to us, so we got our reward: more shrimp! Husse, when are you going out with your friends again?

Defrosting

Midsummer, nice and warm outside. That's a great time to defrost the freezer! Of course, Husse needed some experienced assistance. Being asked so nicely, how could I deny him? Job well done, I had absolutely no complaints.


Hold the bowl, please!

I have heard of cats that like to drink their water from the tap or the sink. I believe I am a bit more sophisticated than that. I would like to drink out of the bowl, but the water being as fresh as possible. What better way than ask Matte to hold the bowl for me by the sink?

Smell the flowers

There are so many pretty flowers out in the garden. Luckily, there are some flowers indoors to. I like to smell them sometimes. And now Matte knows how the paw-prints got on the window...
