In Honor of Anzac Day – thanks for the reminder MS

It seems incongruous, that cat sitting on the shoulder of an Anzac soldier in the photo above. These men of the Canterbury Regiment are lined up, at Lyttelton, to board a ship bound for battlefields on the other side of the world.

It’s 1914 and they’re off to war. Yet there’s still time for a little fun with a most unwarlike pet.

Well, back to part 1 day 2’s fun…back later/ hopeful.
Enjoy your day kits!

Almost time for lunch – yay!

Waiting for Nomz…almost time kit…gotta take my li’l walk first!
Yup, will head out for daily dose of vitamin C – sunshine soon…warm but cloudy now…to rain tonight!
Wishing all a pawsome rest of the day… 😀
Mwah, smooch for fave kit Tux…later/hopeful…

I’d slightly disobey the coffee thing, if not, I’d have to mainline caffeine. I’ve had that, but it resolved quickly – however I still remember how utterly miserable I was. Not only painful but feeling dirty.

I don’t drink a lot of coffee, but without a little morning hit of espresso, get a splitting headache around 11 a.m.

I also fostered a tiny white kitten – some neighbours brought him to me because he was foraging in the alley, dirty and skinny. Turns out he was deaf, but the cat rescue who took him in said they’d find him a good home. My, he was the handsome lad. But it is important never to let them out in places they can encounter traffic, as they have no warning to keep themselves safe.

Hi guys. Sitting at son’s soccer practice and had a quiet moment to check in.

Aww, a kitten! What a lucky guy to have Joan for a foster mom. If I have read reputable sources in the past, deafness comes with the genes for both white fur and blue eyes. White with green eyes would not be deaf and one green and one blue would be half deaf. Not sure if all blue eyed white cats are deaf or if it’s just very common…and not sure where I read all this.

I’m so sorry about your tummy troubles, KJ. No coffee would make me sad. Hope the doc helps you find answers.

I love your descriptions of spring there, KZ!

My thoughts and respect to the ANZAC soldiers

Crossover pic –

Good morning all. another gorgeous Autumnal day with sunshine and light breeze.
JJ, I won’t offer to take your rain as we have had several months of rain in recent weeks. I noticed the beginnings of a slip across the gully, nothing like that has happened the 30 odd years we have lived here.
JK, that is a great article of cats and war. Kiwis love their cats, wherever they are.
KZ, planting time for you and almost time here to stop planting out most veges. It is good that he got the planting priorities right this year. 😉 I hope you can find a way of keeping the raccoons and birds out as the sweetcorn ripens. Happy bean and cucumber planting.
JK, perfect pic about lunch as it’s lunchtime right now but first I have to hang out the washing.
I will be eating Mr MS’s lunch I made for him as he has a medical procedure/investigation tomorrow and can’t eat for 24 hours 🙁 His loss, my gain. 🙄
Hi KJ, yes it is interesting about boats/ships and cats and women. Another one I can add to that is never take a banana on a boat when going fishing as it will mean you catch nothing so are bad luck. BTW did you know that eating bananas can bind you up, not sure how many you would need to eat though.
Glad the appointment is over and now you are just waiting for the results of the blood tests. Have patience KJ, they don’t test each sample as it arrives but do them in big batches so as not to waste chemicals and reagents. I used to be a clinical biochem technician in the past. You and your Dr must have some pull to get the results so quickly. Wow, how many ways can you have eggs. Are you still allowed tea and toast to go with the eggs. Awwwww Dorry would love to have a henny friend.
MMMM your dinner sounds good.
Awwwwwww JJ, your houseguest sounds adorable. Have you thought of getting a childs playpen and adapting it to keep kitty in and furkits out.
Lagatta you and JK are definitely our coffee lovers. Mainline coffee ! 😆
AV, I agree that Caddy’s senses are sharper for being an outside cat. Keep watching her and see if you can learn what she is reacting to.
I hope we will get pics of Caddy on her new ‘tree’ soon as it is constructed and in place.
Thank you PG for your thoughts and respect for the Anzacs.
Hope your neti pot does the trick for your sinus. I take odourless garlic and fenugreek tablets to help clear the sinus. We get them in Health Food shops and some supermarkets here.
Healing Energy for wee Deo and a gentle headbonk from another Torti who was feeling low recently.
Whatever Shadz was suffering from has finally done with her. Easter Sunday she showed much more energy, maybe because her big sister Airy was home. She has been eating more each meal and had 5 meals in one day recently. Last night she had a feast of fresh bunny, Daddy brought home 2 large rabbits and she was such a happy cat. I will have to ration it though or she would demand it for every meal.
