A familiar face returned after disappearing shortly after Christmas. Apparently she (Tam) had been to somewhere called 'New Zealand'. I went to the edge of my car park and looked really hard into the distance but I couldn't see anything that looked like she described. No snow topped mountains, open green fields and sunshine. Also she has aged since going away, everyone is  laughing about her

Well, everyone is well and truly back to normal. There are no more sweet wrappers floating around for me to chase and the one word I keep hearing mentioned a lot is 'DIET'. Don't know what it means but it seems to have had an effect on everyone's mood. I've noticed there aren't any cheese and onion crisps to be had either recently! There's lot's of green stuff around at lunch times too, no more

Well the holiday is well and truly over and I am starting 2012 as I mean to go on. Living life fast and furious! The girls are back after their festivities and boy are they sluggish. I'm up and raring to go. After a couple of days shut away with the black thing I feel invigorated and full of energy. The first clients of the morning got my usual greeting but none of them seem to appreciate my

There are chocolates and biscuits everywhere and not a single one is for me! Cheese and onion crisps on the other hand...

It has come to my attention that I have been implicated in the abduction and misappropriation of a small reptile. One small Corn Snake. I would just like to say that anyone who knows me knows I love snakes. Can't eat a whole one though. Not being ignored now, eh?

.....no, not the website - I just need some. The cat room is now filled with babies and half witted black cats. And, no, she still hasn't grasped the concept of transparency as it applies to window glass! Well, at 4 degrees it's too cold to to spend the night outside, so, do you know, I've had to resort to hiding - yes hiding, in my own home to avoid being banged up with that lot or freezing to

As if it isn’t enough that I have to share my home with that black thing, but now they’ve gone ahead and decided to house some kittens here as well! Apparently Dexter has agreed to help the RSPCA re-home some kittens… Well nobody asked me my opinion! The black thing has also been acted strangely and is still trying to catch me through a window, the dozy cat!

There I was, sitting, watching the rain under the porch, when, behind me,. BANG. Now, of course, I knew she was there all along, but I worked out long ago that although you can see through windows, you can't actually jump through them, unless they're open!! A real Tom and Jerry moment, with small black cat with flat nose sliding down the glass. I still can't work out whether Wibble actually

So the nice man from National Veterinary Supplies came and delivered the practices order. Angela was half way through checking  it when she heard a box of chocolates being opened by Tam and Dexter in the prep room so I thought I would help her out as it was rather a large delivery. I jumped in the box to find that the nurses had ordered me a cat toy loaded with my favourite catnip!! So I showed

Hello Snot, you don't know me but I know lots about you from the lady in reception at Oxley Park. She tells me your top cat, thought you might like to know about the strange goings on here today. There I was minding my own business, looking for some where to have my morning nap. I was considering the practice waiting room until I saw this!!! What do you make of this then? Purrs & licks Saffron

First it's sunny, then it's raining, then it's sunny again, then it isn't. I can't tell whether I'm coming or going sometimes. Stayed in, in the end, and did some meeting and greeting. Well, one has to be seen to be earning a crust doesn't one?

Not that I'm bitter......... but I turned 11 on Monday and no-one remembered! I wasn't expecting a great celebration with balloons, cake or banners but a little recognition would have been nice. Still, I did have a black thing (Wibble) free night on Monday as she decided to stay out for the night.  That alone was something worth celebrating. Oh well perhaps they'll make it up to me next year!

Warm days, waiting room windows open, I can come and go as I please. Am I getting older, or have they raised the height of the window sills?

Spring is on it's way at last! It seems that the neighbourhood is back under control.  No more challenges to my superiority. My only challenger is the black thing I am forced to live with! She certainly has her moments, especially when she has been on the old catnip!! But put her outside and she's not so brave then. Scared of her own shadow then she is!! The girls here are disappointed with her

Well, that was a busy few weeks. You wouldn't believe it would you. Four weeks away and the locals have really got above themselves. Hunting my vermin, territory marking my foliage. Give me strength! Still, think I've managed to point out the error of their ways. And do you know, one of them wanted to argue the toss about it. Gave me a swollen leg! Nothing that five days penicillin couldn't deal

Can't believe it! Thought the shelf under the ultrasound machine would be the perfect place to hide. Now I'm back in the kennel room for the weekend with goldfish brain! Still, probably for the best. If I'd thought the whole thing through I mught have realised that I'd be spending the weekend in the dark - and hungry.

Wheldons, the plumbers, have been in the past 2 days, re-routing the water pipes. Wibble has chosen to spend the time hiding outside - eating al fresco and refusing to come back in! So be it. That cat is not playing with a full deck!!

Well, she's coming on, albeit in a bit of a half hearted way. At least she's outside most of the time now, but still no idea of hunting. Not much point lining up a Magpie - especially when it's on top of a car!!! Stick to the moths and butterflies Wib!

Every now and then we get to try new things here. Usually when someone carelessly leaves food around where Wibs and I can get it. Sarah made one such mistake on Saturday, leaving some bags of food by the back door ready to take home for her cats. Well, I ask you, couldn't say no really. So on the basis that if it's good enough for them, it must be good enough for us, and that these things always

Can't see what all the fuss is about. I wouldn't have walked in the glue anyway. Just an excuse to keep me locked up again for a week. Still, out now! Hunting season starts very soon. Maybe I can lose the black thing in the bushes.

Here I am again, back on line. Not been much happening here for months, so I've been taking it easy. Wondering why I can only sleep24hrs a day and not 25. I really need that extra hour to be at my best. For what? You may ask. For when the vermin wake up! Nothing on the hunting front for weeks. They must all still be hibernating. Open season soon!

Well Christmas is coming, or so they tell me. The tree is up in reception and there are more toys than normal in the waiting room. I can smell the catnip toys but they are just too high for me to get to, although I keep trying. Wibble seems to have more luck than me at climbling, but her jumping skills still leave a lot to be desired. One bright winters morning last week I went out for my usual

At last.......... They finally took the rest of my stitches out today! So I'm now free & guess what..... As I said the mice think they've got one up on me as there's loads of them out there now! I'll give them a few days to think I'm not a threat anymore before I start taking them all down again. It's nice to finally get out & about again & away from Wibble, she's been driving me nuts. Anyway, I

Today they told me that I'd be free again (at last!) and that they would be taking out my stitches. Well, that didn't happen because they took the first few out then told me the rest have got to stay in for a few days longer! Am really fed up with this now! Then to top it all off 'Wibble' decided to rub my nose in the fact that she's been playing with all the new Christmas toy's that came in

They've let me out at last. Didn't seem too keen when I made a bee line for the back door. They weren't impressed with my half hearted attempt to clear the reception desk either.

Truth to tell, I was trying to get away from that black Tasmanian

Good morning all! I'm bored. Last week some twit ran me over in the car park. The boss and nurses fixed me up, but I've been banged up in this kennel for a week now, so I decided to start this blog. When something happens, I'll let you know.
