Tuesday 02-08-2016 – Celebrate – Fore it's National Golf Month!

…. interesting take on HP, EC! ….. now I may have to change my mind and buy it! ….. Dau wants to read it too, and she’s coming this weekend.

Hi everyone – the golf piccies are fun and great crossover pics too!
MS, if you thought you heard an extra set of paws overnight, it was Comet. He heard ‘mouse in the house’ and went running, not bothering to inform Leela or Mac, both of whom would have liked to go mouse hunting too. He doesn’t seem satisfied, no catch? PG, gotta love the stink eye we get when we evict the prize catch. Oh, lizards, Deb? They are not very common here; would not be happy with one coming in the house, much less climbing the walls! Shaddo once brought in a live bird. That was entertaining, for Shaddo, for he watched us as we coaxed the bird out the door.
Happy Birthday, ECB! Glad it fell between the house cleaning days and you get to put your feet up and read HP and do a bit of yoga.
Nice to have dau and sil in for the weekend, AV. If it’s a traditional wedding, they’ll get to dance that couples dance, and will be among the first to have to leave the dance floor. It’s the dance where at the end the longest-wed couple are the only peeps left dancing.
With this late post I’ve missed JK. Hint for KJ, there are no cat’s eyes looking at you, they’re closed! I never did find the happy pea…
TM, the HP kitty is adorable!
Funny story about the mouse in your kitchen, KZ! I can picture the whole thing, with the addition of a wee dress and glasses!
KJ, your ‘do sounds kewel. You’re gonna look bada$$ when it’s where you want it. That Tallulah looks like my Mama Cat!
Today started out grey but is now sunny. Of course, mom is bundled up and appears to look colder as she looks at brother, sister and I in our summer clothes!
Thank you for the kind comments for sister. She has lost other fosters, but this one has hit her hard.
As I type this, hubby went outside and Dewey wandered in! Wonder if he’ll help me make dinner?

KJ – I think you’re going the long way round for the cat in the logs! But if you keep going around, and then do the same inside your circle – I think you may find your prey. Lovely colour, by the way.

😆

P.S. August birthdays . . . some of my nicest friends are Leos, including Rincewind (3rd) and my Mum (16th). I even got married in August!

Hi all, it’s been a busy morning hunting a mouse and a caterpillar – both on the loose. We found the caterpillar but not the mouse despite moving all furnishings away from the walls. HRH spent the late evening stalking the room sniffing multiple areas and she has popped in several times today to look but is loosing interest. I will be deploying the human traps this evening but we don’t know which room the mouse is in now.
KJ, LOL at Dorry finding other indoor games. Knowing my little madam she would be up for anything. 😮 I have had plenty mouse experience and even rather like the little critters but preferably not ‘loose in the hoose’.
Deb, I had no idea that Kitty invited the ‘neighbours’ inside for you to chase. How thoughtful – NOT !
ECB, Happy Birthday ! ! Have a wonderful day.
Forty five ! You’re a spring chicken. You did have a busy time 16 years ago, first a wedding and then your birthday. I did the same thing many more years ago with five days between birthday and wedding.
Wheeeeeeeee AV, daughter and SIL back, how lovely. Airy messaged to say she has booked a long weekend flight home for her birthday later in the year. That will mean hot pools and shenanigans, I am looking forward to it.
JK. love the cat in the woodpile pic. Found the cat, but us cat lovers have an edge I believe.
KZ, sorry about the morning choke. I just pick them up by the tail too and if they are really cute I pop a finger under their belly but away from the toothy bit. I pop them on the boundary with the neighbours so the mouse has a choice to go to a cat free area.
AWWWWWwwwwwww love the story of the remodelling and the tiny mouse bathing in the ribbon of the broom. So cute.
The first farrmhouse we moved into the mice had got into the walls of the electric stove and removed the insulation material, there was a pile of it behind the oven, they all ran away the first time we turned the oven on and it got too warm for them. They were also behind the old fashioned coal range but departed when the fire was lit in that. Another farm house had tongue and groove ceiling that sloped down and a mouse had swiped one of my walnuts from a supply I had in a cupboard and somehow got it into the ceiling. We could hear it bump bump bump the walnut up the roofline over the wood joints. When it was almost at the top we bumped the ceiling under it and listened as the walnut noisily bumped all the way down the the wall. That mouse made many attempts to get that walnut home. I can’t remember if it ever did.
Awww KJ you big softee, saving the ladybird. I save them too and put them on my citrus trees to control pests. Pretty neighbourhood Torti.
JJ, I felt an extra body snuggle down on the bed in the night. HRH was up against my back and there was another cat near my feet, that must have been Comet on mouse duty.
PG, I couldn’t help chuckling about the grasshopper. Sad but that’s what happens.
KJ, try lifting your eyes to find the kitty.
JJ, raccoons ! It seems to be a day for bugs and critters.

I found the kitty. It’s in the frigging log pile! 😆

It’s hard to sleep when your mind is still trying to work out the answer! And that cat is beautifully camouflaged there.

Nightie-night!
