Blame the cat
Tuesday , November 13, 2007 – 12:53
We spent intervals of the morning tracing back Phil’s illness as well as we could, as he has a GP appointment this afternoon and tis best to be prepared. It would appear, after much analysis, that it all stems back to the appearance of Random Cat (aka The Stripy). There was certainly a lot of [...]
Bread mystery solved
Tuesday , May 22, 2007 – 10:15
Some time ago, we were baffled as to why our cat was hunting and gathering squares of bread. Today brought revelations in the form of our neighbour. It is he that puts the squares of bread out for the birds. And Mogret has taken to making off with it.
He informs us that she drags the bread [...]
It’s spring again, I’ll bring again..
Sunday , May 6, 2007 – 7:40
so far, a piece of bread, a dead baby blackbird and some kind of rodent (also pre-dead, thankfully). These are the presents of the last 24 hours. The last one arrived in the last 5 minutes.
The bread was amusing. We heard her do the victory blorp last night, and were worrying about what kind of [...]
When Mogret Rules the World
Wednesday , April 4, 2007 – 7:59
I’ve been idly perusing the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and am slightly concerned by one of the provisions:
Duty of person responsible for animal to ensure welfare
(1) A person commits an offence if he does not take such steps as are reasonable in
all the circumstances to ensure that the needs of an animal for which he [...]
Wedding Anniversary #3
Saturday , October 14, 2006 – 9:36
Three years ago today, we were in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. Getting married. Time sure has flown past..
To celebrate the recurrance of this date, I decided to make philb breakfast in bed. As his breakfast of choice is Weetabixâ„¢, this wasn’t too much of an effort..
Breakfast for philb
Also on this day (this year), [...]
wigging out

I bought a pink wig on eBay. As you do.
Me
Philb
And finally, our cat, Mogret
Ouch!

Ouch!,

Random Cat has had large thorn item removed from his eye, and personal items removed from his person. It seemed to make sense to get it done while he was having a general anyway for the eye-debris-problem. I have large amounts of cat-guilt though as he just thought he was going to [...]
Aching corners
Sunday , September 3, 2006 – 7:46
Oh boy. The ’soothing music’ approach failed. From about 21:30 last night Random Cat yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled. When we went to bed he was still yelling, and didn’t show any signs of stopping. If anything, the cries were increasingly frantic.
Eventually I got out of bed and curled up on [...]
Calming a nervous cat
Saturday , September 2, 2006 – 14:45
After a tense and miow-filled night, I sought to discover some method of calming our anxious house-guest.
Earlier today, if you visited his room, he would be assessing escape potential and looking wary. I’ve been playing romantic classical music at him for a few hours now and he’s currently in a state of placid acceptance. It [...]
