Under Construction

Hey,

This is just to let you know that over the coming week or two you'll likely see some changes to the blog. It may flick back and fore between styles, layouts, colours etc. 

This is just me playing with the settings and the look. I'm sorry if it causes any problems  for anyone. I'm just trying to make the blog a nicer place for everyone to visit.

Also, I'm happy to take suggestions on this so if there's anything missing (or goes missing) in the process, please just let me know and I'll try and fix it.

Thanks!

Don't worry if you don't get the title. It's a game reference and if you want know where it comes from you can check out a game snippet here:

For those of you who get the reference I hope you think it's appropriate too. I found it really funny watching Theo confuse Bailey this way. I just wish I could have added the ?s, !s and sound effects.

Hope you enjoy.

I thought my cats would grow out of this as it became a regular thing and they got used to it but apparently not. It's still interesting and they still want to "help".

Theo and Bailey really like the washing machine! 

They watch us putting in the powder (to make sure we do it right!):

  
Sometimes Bailey likes to get in and make sure there's no clothes left over:

And then they love watching the washing going round and round and round....

Think Pink

Lately I've been wondering if Theo, our gentle giant, has an obsession with the colour pink.

The first time I noticed was when I recently shifted some furniture around. I have 2 large bean bags and the dark blue one has been in the living room all the time and Theo enjoys sleeping on it. However, as soon as brought the pink one through he stopped sleeping on the blue one and now prefers to sleep on the pink one. He does look pretty fabulous on it to be fair:

The second thing that has made me wonder is his sudden increase in wanting to play. When he arrived he did prefer the little feather boa on a string as a toy but wasn't too fussed about play. As I've said before, he's more concerned with kibbles and cuddles.

However, the other day I got a pink version of the toy out because the other one had pretty much lost its feathers. He went mental for it! His little eyes lit up in excitement seeing it in the packet, he was meowing and pawing up my leg trying to get at it as I unwrapped it and then... well I don't think I've ever seen Theo run before! He chased and chased and chased until he was pooped bless him. Ever since then he's been really playful and loves chasing the pink feather boa.

The (nearly) Great Escape!

So instead of the post I intended to write, I thought I should tell you about their escape attempt.

I opened the living room window a little wider than usual last night because it was really warm and we needed some fresh air in the stuffy room. I went to fetch something from the bedroom and came back to find Bailey trying to get through the window with Theo doing his usual chin-ups (photo below) following suit.

Bailey had decided he'd have one front paw and one back paw on the main frame and the other paws on the handle so he was sort of walking over the gap!

I was lucky I got back when I did, any longer and they would have managed to push the window open further and run!
