The Birds And The Bee's...

Well it has been such a lovely week with the weather lots of sunnyshine and warm days and it has been so lovely to be able to get out into the garden and act upon my instincts. I have never really experienced this nice warm and clear skies weather before but I do like it :o)

I love watching the birds and the bee's flying around and have managed to catch a few bumblebee's and a wasp! My human didn't seem as impressed as I was with my catching skills and 'saved' a couple of bumblebee's but I found it very fun!! But I should be thankful I guess for not getting stung *ahem*

There are some birdies nesting in the tree .... a Mr and Mrs Blackbird whom we think have had 3 babies. Well my human found the eggshells that had obviously had babies in which have now hatched.

I like watching the birds but they are too quick for me but then perhaps it's not my speed at all because my human attaches a rather annoying bell to me when she lets me out and as soon as I make a dash for one they fly off!!

Anyway that's about it from me for now. 
Happy Easter everyone xXx

A 'Cat'astrophic Couple Of Weeks!

Well the last couple of weeks have been 'cat'astophic! (No pun intended!) I didn't realise or know that my human had 'booked' me in to have my lady bits removed and Microchipped. Though I did think it was odd that she took away all my food early evening.... Oh and she didn't give me any breakfast the cheek of it...

Anyway up until now I'd never had a fear of the pink tardis (the thing she plonks me in for when we travel in the car) but believe me I have a phobia of it now :o/

The 'Pink Tardis'

It all started 13 days ago now and though she has taken me to the place they call the "VETS" before it had never been an unpleasant experience.. they had jabbed me before but it was in my scruff so I didn't feel a thing :o) but oh how that was about to change I would now have a phobia..... 

I thought I was going for a general checkup or maybe just for the usual pass around the unbeknown to me humans for a cuddle as they always do that when we go... but I didn't expect she would leave me there! I thought I was never going to see my human again. I have to be fair and say these humans looked after me very well but I was just a scaredy kitten admittedly. One minute I was there seeing everything around me the next asleep? And no this was not voluntary dozing or a cat nap... but then waking up in a rather confused state wondering where my fur had gone.... did they think I was a sheep and needed shearing?

My human says my chunk of fur missing makes me look like the people on the 'learn direct' advert where they have a jigsaw piece missing in their side!

Anyway I had two cuts on me one small one on my side and one big one on my tummy and a lampshade around my head! Apparently there were complications and they had to open me up again otherwise I would have only had the one small incision... why do I have to be the awkward non straight forward one! They didn't hurt much but they gave me some medicine and later that day my human picked me up. I was so pleased to see her but had lost my meow so I couldn't communicate but I think she knew I was so pleased to see her. Anyway we went back to familiar territory where I was basically a zombie kitten for a few days. My human was extra loving with me although she does love and cuddle me alot anyway and kept checking I was ok although she did put tablets and medicine down my mouth hmm.... but I thought I would very good and not make it hard for her and just took them willingly.

Cuddles with my human

Just as I started to feel abit more full of beans again my human took me back to the vets and I thought oh no not again! Thankfully they just wanted to see if I was ok after my op. I think they were happy enough but they did tell my human that I had two seroma's one small one and one large one (I did wonder why I felt a bit squidgy) but they said they should go down within a week. Phew didn't have to stay and could go back home and they took the lampshade off so that was purrrfect and I was a happy kitten again and could now tear about the house and be up to my usual mischievousness and old tricks again. So as the days went by I felt better and better and more full of beans each day. 

My human even let me have a play in the garden at the weekend so she must be happy with my good progress.

Watching the birdies in the garden :o)

However we had another trip to the vets again today I wasn't too happy about it and thought if I created enough noise and havoc in the car she would give in and take me home. Her exact words to me in the car were "it doesn't matter how much meowing you do it wont change the fact we are going to the vets" umphh!! I am pleased to say it was a harmless visit and I was stolen from my human for a while and was being passed around for the usual cuddles I get there ... I won't complain at that. They told my human the small seroma has gone but the big one is still the size of a hard boiled egg so we have to give it another couple more weeks and hopefully it will be gone by then.

I am also pleased to say my fur is just starting to grow back albeit it very slow but I am back on form to my usual self again.... a tinker Inkie 'Nink Nonks'

Any fellow kitties out there I don't recommend having your lady bits removed or man bits if your a boy kittie as it is not a pleasant experience but my human keeps reassuring me it's for my own good! I have just about forgiven her!
