Something Magical

Something amazing and rather magical has just happened.


I was enjoy the last rays of this beautiful days sun on Daddies lap, looking out the window George is still sitting on the tree stump, when all of a sudden I was drawn to look behind me and there on the wall a rainbow appeared.

I turned to see if anyone else had seen it but they were still absorbed with their lazing.

I was transfixed and watched as it slowly moved and lit up the little Buddha and although he's generally a very happy little man I could have sworn I saw him smile just that little bit more. All of a sudden the rainbow dissipated into nothing.

I've got a feeling, something magical is on it's way, this is a sign from the universe, of that I am sure.

Let's Play Him At His Own Game

Finally George has turned up.

I was sitting in the window waiting for lunch to be served up, everyone else was cuddled up on the sofa, they had a late night last night and were all very tired, when there he appeared on the tree stump.

Luckily it's a fairly warm day, for the time of year, so the window was open so I could call out over the road to him.

A big smile came back, oh how I was about to turn his day upside down.

After exchanging a hello I jumped straight in and told him all about Flash's visitation, sneaking around. I could tell from the look on his face he was taking what I said very seriously, occasionally nodding as I explained everything.

When I finished he bowed his head, deep in thought. I sat there waiting not wanting to break his concentration, finally he spoke.

"Do nothing." He said.

I nodded.

"Don't approach him, he's a very sly individual."

That much previous tale had informed.

"But do keep a very close watch on his actions. I want to know what he's up to but I don't want him to know."

I nodded and George smiled.

"Let's play him at his own game!"

Deviousness!

It's been a quiet day, I sat out in the garden for a few hours but unfortunately no one came about. I even investigated Squirrel Tree hoping maybe to bump into Craig but he must have been out shopping for food or something as it was as quiet as a mouse.

At least no further sightings of Flash which is a good thing although from what I've heard he's a slippery customer that one and never to be trusted.

I'm thinking maybe I should set some sort of a trap for him, corner and then question him, although I think I need some help, he's a lot bigger than me and a lot more experienced when it comes to deviousness!

That Should Be A Deterrent

Well that was rather enjoyable, playing with River's toys, they are more interesting that they at first seem.

Anyway as I said I've more pressing matters on my mind and as soon as I managed to break out of the locked cat flap I was out and investigating.

No signs of disturbance last night from either Foxy Lectar or Flash, phew, but I did find some rubbish on the lawn that must have blown in from the street. I'll have to get Daddy to clean that up later but I think I'll stay out here for a bit, make my present felt and enjoy a bit of this sun that's out this morning.

That should be a deterrent, I hope!

OK Maybe I Will

It's Saturday morning and I'm barely awake and already Daddy is trying to engage me in play activity.

I don't know how many times I have to ignore his attempts and such childlike behaviour but he really doesn't seem to ever get the hint, I'm not interested I've more pressing matters on my mind.

Ooh what's that yellow cloth thing of River's he's just chucked in my direction? Now that is tempting.

OK maybe I will give this play thing a go.

Flash A-Ah

Well I was right to keep myself alert and on the lookout. No, not anther visit from Foxy Lectar but perhaps more disturbing a sneaky visit from Flash.

Yes Flash A-Ah!

Now I've been warned about him and I've heard tales all about The New Cat Crew. The firm was disbanded but to see him sniffing around, hiding himself in the shadows behind the fence well that cannot be a coincidence. I've got a horrible suspicion he's teamed up with Foxy Lectar again.

Oh where are George and Mogsie when you need them?

Om, Om, Ommm.

I've just been so stressed today, all this threats business from Foxy Lectar, the absence of any other cat to really talk about it with and my fears about River being targeted have got to me.

Enough is enough though, as Daddy says over thinking and worrying about a situation doesn't help it just gives life to fears and solves nothing so I've decided to take a leaf out of his book and relax myself. I'm trying meditating.

Om, om, ommm.

I think it's helping.

In The Nick Of Time!

I decided to take things into my own hands and having been having a snoop outside.

It's a beautiful day, cold but sunny, perfect weather for searching for clues. I went up over the back of the sunshine shed, very aptly titled, and over into the gardens at the back of the house to see if there was any sign of night visits from Foxy Lectar.

I didn't see anything of interest so had a bit of a wander a little further a-field that I usually go, hoping to at least come across another cat, any other cat, t see what they knew but everyone seems to be inside, probably asleep.

I was a couple of hours down when all of a sudden I heard River barking her head off and ran back home as quickly as I could in case she needed my protection.

I'm glad I did as when I got there I could see her standing at the back of the garden shouting away and a small movement coming from the direction of Squirrel Tree. I don't know what it was but from the noise she's making I have a fair suspicion.

I think I got back in the nick of time!

The Things I Do

The things I do for that dog. I mean being woken up to clean a chicken dinner of her face, I mean really!

Mind you I suppose at least I know what I'm getting when I'm ready.

He Didn't Break Pace

Ooh I've just spotted Mogsie, it's been ages.

I've not had chance to speak to him since just before the cat council meeting about Foxy Lectar was cancelled, so I tried desperately to get his attention by banging on the window.

I don't know if he heard me or not as no matter how hard I banged on the window he didn't break pace, staring straight ahead with steely determination.

I must admit I feel a little out of the loop with things. It was after all me that Foxy threatened and I've been on high alert ever since waiting for instructions from either Mogsie or George but none have been forthcoming. If I don't hear anything soon I think I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands.

Better Luck Next Time

Finally, George is out, sniffing around searching for clues, perfect time for me to speak to him but...

...I'm not alone. No I have a very excitable River sitting right next to me, making her presence felt.

*Sign*

Better luck next time.

Coming & Going

What an interesting day it's been. I told River about E's house being up for sale but she wasn't bothered, preferring to chase me around the house. 

I got a break when our Daddies decided it was time to stop her from looking like Catweazle and spent two hours giving her a cut and bathe, fair wore her out it did giving me time to watch what was going on.

Coming and going, going and coming, it's been a very busy day over at E's with all the people viewing the property. I wonder if the new owners will have a cat, maybe a lady one?

I Did Spot Something Very Unusual

Just me up at the moment, everyone else is asleep upstairs.

I've tried to wake them by tapping on the bedroom door and although I heard River sniff a little she didn't make enough noise to wake my Daddies up and get them to open the door so I'm having to amuse myself.

I've already been out in the back garden searching for signs of Foxy but none discovered so I guess we've had a Foxy free night.

I then went up into the front window to see is Mogsie or George was around, I've not seen them this past couple of days and so haven't had time to tell them about Foxy's visit the other night yet. I didn't see them but I did spot something very unusual a FOR SALE sign has gone up over at E's house.

I wonder who the new people will be who move in?

I bet River will be very interested to find this information out, I'm off back upstairs to whisper it through the door, that should get her blood going and maybe, just maybe she'll be able to wake my Daddies and they will come down and give me some Dreamies. Yes that sounds like a perfect plan!

Footprints In The Frost

There's footprints, footprints in the frost and they are not cat or dog related, that's right they are the footprints of a fox!

I best catch Mogsie or George later and report this back, I thought things had died down but I was wrong. He surely is a slippery customer that Foxy Lectar, creeping up on you when you least expect it!

To Avoid Eye Contact

I spotted Theo lurking around the front garden this afternoon, steadily coming nearer and nearer, although he did have his head down to avoid eye contact.

Daddy always says you have to leave someone alone with their thoughts and if they are ready to come listen, they'll come  listen in their time.

I think he might be right, I think Theo is getting ready to hear about the rest of my time with Purlean, then hopefully he'll be prepared to reform the cat Coven of 3, then, fingers crossed we'll be able to free Greego from the sleeping spell.

Oh I hope so.

Where My Love Lies

Everyone's gone out so I have the house to myself, perfect for street watching. 

Not that I've seen anyone around today, I would have thought with it finally being sunny and the rain stopping totally that the road would have been packed but no one. Maybe its because it's Valentines Day and they are all loved up somewhere. 

I'll just wait till everyone get's home, that's where my love lies, River and my Daddies.

In The Mood For Carnage

Chicken dinner high. yes I've learn't to spot the signs early and get up out the way of the impending storm that is...

...River high and in the mood for carnage.

Good luck lady!

It Was More Than A Shock!

Goodness only knows what's been going on. I've just been woken from a perfect slumber by River coming bounding it and jumping all over me, shouting excitedly about her afternoon out.

Now don't get me wrong I don't mind the fact that she's had an afternoon out, given me some time to rest, but to be woken up with a paw in my face.

Of course I jumped up here out of your way River, you, made me scream, it was more than a shock!

Just What The Doctor Ordered

What a beautiful day it is, the sun is shining hot through the window, too hot to sit right on the window of course but it's just perfect where I am. 

An afternoon of snoozing and sunbathing in peace, just what the doctor ordered.

I Can't Turn My Back For A Second

I don't know I can't turn my back for a second and she's out there playing in the sun all happy. She doesn't even realise the danger around at the moment. 

Of course I can't leave her alone with Foxy Lectar around, no matter how many times I tell her not to go out without me.

Still, she's safe now with me around. I must be more vigilant!

Well That Didn't Work Out Quite As I Expected

Well that didn't work out quiet as I expected, she caught me opening my eyes.

Careful, watch the hair!

Let Me Be But Wake Me Up As Well

I know River's there, waiting. 

I heard Daddy tell her to let me rest. Bless her she's trying but I can hear her not settling, trying her best to let me be but wake me up as well without actually waking me up. Stomping up and down on the sofa, moving position, laying down, getting back up again and shifting around and around.

I've squinted to have a look without letting her know I am actually awake, I'm not up for a game at the moment, well not the sort of games she has planned, this one I'm playing is pretty good fun though.

A Very Quiet Few Days

It's been a very quiet few days, yes very quiet.

I've been keeping watch out, mainly from the office window, it's a great view from up there and just a quick run into the bedroom to look out the back but thankfully there's been no sign of Foxy Lectar on either side of the house.

I have spotted George and Mogsie briefly deep in conversation but they've not come over this way. George did spot me earlier on today and nodded a greeting but as he hasn't come over I'm guessing things are OK although I do wonder what they are up to. I thought there was going to be a cat council meeting arranged after the last one was cancelled but no, nothing, no information, not informed. 

Still if there was something to worry about I'm sure one of them would have come over to let me know.

I guess I've just got to carry on doing what I'm doing and keep my fingers crossed, although something tells me Foxy is not going to give up searching for the buried treasures, which we know aren't actually buried anymore.

Oh my head!

Typical!

George just came by, I was so glad to see him so I could tell him what I saw last night with Foxy hanging around. Just as I was about to start though River came running in from the garden all hyped up, saw me, jumped over Daddy sitting in the chair to get to me saw George and went into a barking fit.

Of course that put paid to that conversation, he ran off. Typical!

The Situation Is Getting Out Of Control

I am so glad last nights weather was a bit windy and rainy and rough, it kept everyone inside and safe.

I couldn't sleep, too much noise so I decided to come down and keep a watch out in the street, about 2 am that's when I saw it, a shadow moving along the street, something behind the wall 2 doors down. I wasn't sure at first if it was Mogsie or George, it moved stealthy like they do, this shadow then all of a sudden it moved more into the light. It was him, Foxy Lectar!

My blood began to rush, I was safe behind glass but it still chilled me to see him wandering around the gardens, digging and sniffing, unusually quiet after his recent antics. At one point I thought he was going to come nearer to me but a car coming down the road must have scared him and he ran off.

I can't wait to report this back to Catworld, this situation is getting out of control.

Secret Stash

Ha, ha, ha. I was having a bit of a clear out of my secret stash of things I've collected from around the house, I keep them hidden under the sofa, when I spotted something I'd forgotten I'd secreted away. A Christmas tree bauble.

Oh the joy of forgotten hidden treasures.

Half The Night

I'm feeling pretty tired today I've been up half the night, keeping watch out for Mogsie. 

He was on patrol all on his own making sure that Foxy Lectar didn't turn up. Thankfully he didn't as I fear what would have happened if he did.

Mogsie really is brave I don't think I'd have the courage to be out there alone at night, I did try to get out there to be with him but Daddy locked the cat flap both ways, I can open it if it's one way locked but not two.

Hang On A Second

Thanks, right in my face.

Hang on a second, you've been eating my dinner again haven't you!

Important Things On My Mind

Well Mogsie is back from wherever he's been, I spotted him a little earlier talking to George. I tried to hear what they were saying but Daddy was upstairs with River making a racket doing something in the back room, no idea what I have more important things on my mind.

Anyway I'll try and catch one of them tomorrow, find out what's been going on and what the plan is regarding Foxy Lectar.

What Happened?

"What happened?" I called over the road to George, "No one turned up yesterday to let me know what was going on with the cat council meeting!"

George looked back at me and wiped a glob from his weepy eye, he'd been admiring the daffodils that have just sprung up, very early this year, must be the generally mild weather we've been having.

"Sorry, I should have let you know it has been delayed, Mogsie has gone off on a mission and he asked if the meeting could be postponed until he got back."

"Where did he go?" I must admit to being a little irked but hey we all forget to pass on messages sometimes.

"I don't know he didn't say but I have an inkling." George put his head down in thought for a moment.

"And if it's where I think it is it can only mean one thing he thinks this situation with Foxy Lectar and the buried treasures is even graver than any of us think!"
