It worked. What - you might ask? Well, I've been eying up the swing lid bin in the kitchen for a few days now, and I made my move while They were clearing up after breakfast. I waited until They weren't looking and jumped up onto the bin. The top opened up, and I ended up inside. She screamed; He swore; I just looked up and gave a lovely smile when They took the lid off.
How was I to know that I'd landed on the dirty laundry?
At this point, I'd like to warn others of you out there. She might not be representative of all humans, but beware - Her reaction was swift and sure. He was dispatched out in the van to town; She grabbed me and carted me off to the BATH. I hate that word at the best of times, but to have it foisted on me without any warning is just not on. No chance of an appeal. She was determined, and I ended up cold and wet. I just can't work out what I did wrong.
Even worse though was that by tonight, the bin had been replaced by one with a flat lid that even I can't get off, so my plans for a re-run in the morning using advanced tactics have all gone out of the window. Can anybody out there give me advise?

All my love

Have you missed me?

Have had very strong words with Them today. What's the point of me having a blog if They don't get home in time to let me have time on His computer? His answer was that He is trying to get a new job, and that when He does, he hopes He will have a big enough salary to buy me my own PC. And He thinks that I'm stupid enough to believe that I can write this on my own. After all I am a cat, with four paws and a very short attention span!
Today was Mothering Sunday - She got a card from me - even with my own paw print on it. Isn't that just sweet! As for expecting me to do anything special today, like He was trying to persuade me to do......... Best I could come up with was to wake Her up at 0540, and then again at 0700, and 0800 - all on a Sunday morning!

Anyway, I'm back on this blog, so please leave your comments

All my love

Tia

It's Saturday, but I wasn't to know that They were not working today when I tried to wake them up at 0535. I couldn't possibly repeat what He said to me at that moment - I've had far too sheltered a life for that!
I mentioned my human 'sister' Katie the other day. In the same way, She refers to her son Lee as my 'brother'. I've only met him a couple of times, and he seems very nice, even though he can only talk in computer language (his job is in IT). Anyway, he is going on holiday to somewhere in the sun tomorrow - I only wish I was going too. Even though They have lit the fire again today, it's still too cold for me. I wonder if Lee could bring some sunshine back in his suitcase for me?

Lots of love

Sorry

Hi Everybody

Sorry I have not been around much this week. They have said it's because they have had a lot of work to do and have been too tired when They have got home. I am not interested. This is MY blog, and I should be able to blog as and when I want to, and not just at their fancy. I must admit that I did mess up when setting the blog up in the first place as it asked my age. Being truthful, I said '8', but then the naughty men at Blogger.com said I had to be at least 13 to have a blog of my own!
I mentioned the other day that She had bought me a new comb. I have to admit that just for once, She has bought something worthwhile as it really is making a difference to my coat. I think I've lost lots of weight in the past week if the amount of fur coming out of me is anything to go by! The downside of course is that last night was -5 degrees outside, and I could have done with my extra fur. I had to resort to sleeping in Their bed last night as it was very cold once the fire had died out. Hopefully, all you cats reading this blog will know how to make maximum impact when choosing to sleeping in a human bed when the humans are asleep......
I waited until about 4 a.m., then just jumped up onto His chest whilst he was asleep. He tried to put me back on the floor, so I just jumped back on his chest. He tried again; I did the same again. Finally, he got the message that I was not going to go away, and He blearily lifted the duvet. That was all I needed - dived straight to the bottom of the bed and tangled myself around His legs. Success. He was so tired that he went back to sleep, and I got to stay in the warm for the next couple of hours.
Still waiting for some of you cats (or humans) to comment on my blogs. Love to know that you are out there, and would love to make friends with you.

Lots of Love

Tia

Missing You

Sorry I have not blogged for a few days - They have been working too hard again, and coming home late. He insists on checking His emails etc then switches the PC off saying He is too tired to concentrate! What about ME? What about my blog? What about my fans out there?
I am having a heart to heart with Her in the morning, and things will be changing. I hope to be able to write a proper blog tomorrow night

Lots of Love

Tia

Pictures

These are a couple of pics of me, as asked for by the nice kind lady who wished me a happy birthday the other day! As you can see, I am beautiful!!
Just to show that I'm not just pushing my own ego, I also have a picture of Molly in Jersey - she is my sister's cat and is something called a British Blue. Katie (my 'sister' -see yesterday's post) has bought one of those Furminators that my Mum used on me yesterday. Whilst my fur is easy to go through, Molly's is going to be a different matter. If you are reading this Molly, please email me or comment to the blog - I need to WARN YOU!.


Will tell you all about this new comb thing tomorrow when I have had a big sleep.

Lots of love

Tia

Grooming

Hi to all my feline and human friends. Sorry I've been absent for a couple of days, but They have both been getting home late and have not had time to help me write this blog. One day, I'll be clever enough to write it on my own!
She got very excited when the postman came this morning. She had been sent a parcel addressed to my 'sister' (in real life Katie is Her daughter, and She thinks that I'm not clever enough to understand that a human can not be my real sister, but it's easier to just humour her) My 'sister' had ordered something for me for my birthday. I even got to the point of being interested - I had visions of toys, or a new sleeping house, or even FOOD...so I launched into my 'walk between her legs' routine as She was opening the present.
What a let down. What a liberty. What did I get?...... a new comb to be brushed with.
She said it was the latest model on the market and that it was going to revolutionise my grooming. I tried to run away, but He intervened (why does He suddenly appear when He is least wanted?) and caught me.
So I had to put up with this new comb going through my fur. OK - it does seem to get rid of a lot more of it than the old comb, but I'm left wondering if all that excess fur was there for a reason? I couldn't wait for Them to light the fire tonight - I hope I don't get hypothermia once the fire goes out when They are asleep. Problem is that She has used that horrible noisy machine called Hoover to get rid of my fur, so I can't have it back even if I wanted to.
If I don't write again within the next few days, assume that the lack of fur has got to me, and I'm having to have heat transfusions etc etc........
Finally, He has said that He will get more pics of me and my friend Molly (my 'sister's' cat) on here tomorrow. He hopes to do this at half-time in the football match!

Lots of love

Tia
