Pushkin

Nice box.

The indignity! I got bundled into a bag and taken to the vets. They stuck needles in me and forced a pill down my throat. And to make matters worse they have inserted a microchip, without my permission. Which means I can't even run away from this cruel and horrible woman I live with. They'll send me back if I leave. This country is a disgrace. I protest. We need our civil liberties back.
Also I prefer the other vet lady: this one made everything seem like torture.

We now have our own hot place for me to sit in the sun ☀

18/06/2023

Something wet is pouring out of the sky. This is peculiar. I am not sure I want to go out.

In this household we worship the sun god.

04/05/2023

Catherine has made a special place in the sun next to the bed for me. I like it.

PS humans need to go and vote today but I am going to sleep as usual.

I have no photo ID so I am disenfranchised.

08/03/2023

It's snowing. Wet snow. Yuck.

14/01/2023

I have the hiccups. Please send help!
(No pills please)

She's put a white pill in among my dinner (my favourite fried lambs liver). I made the mistake of eating it last time she did that but I am not doing that this time. I have managed to eat everything except two pieces of liver and the pill. I am not going to be fooled just by it being covered in gravy and tasty juices.

I found this nice jumper on the sofa next to Catherine. Definitely needs kneading though.

06/10/2022

We went to the vet for my health check and vaccinations. Catherine PUT ME IN A BAG! The indignity!

16/08/2022

Some strange wet stuff?

14/08/2022

Rather hot, a bit grey, and not entirely sure whether it's a good thing to have the old staff back or whether the replacement staff were a better bet.

18/07/2022

I chose my usual place in the hottest part of the top of the hottest room in the house. But after a while I melted so I have slithered down to the halfway landing.

Chicken broth... My favourite.

We are looking for a cat-sitter, house-sitter to come and pamper me and be very very nice to me at the end of June/beginning of July. (Catherine Rowett is planning to go away on a train and a ship and leave me for a terrible long time. I would like you to come and look after me please). It's a nice house, but the best bit is the cat. Norwich is a nice place and there are nice places in Norfolk to go. There is a lovely park next to the house, and the house has three lovely sunny/shady gardens to suit all tastes.
But the best bit is the cat.

It's terrible and sad. The old car next door, which was my favourite place to lark around and play with my tail and pounce on goblins has been taken away and there is just a tidy space instead. 😥

24/01/2022

Catherine was folding sheets for the laundry. I helped check that there were no goblins or pixies trapped underneath.

17/11/2021

I am ill again. Catherine is wondering if it's the bird flu again, but I haven't really been out catching birds much recently.

Video of a bit of tonight's Sunday evening walk.

17/09/2021

Today I have been quite poorly, and spent the morning in bed under the redcurrent bush, on the cold ground in the Autumn mist. Just didn't have the energy to come in.
I reckon it was that vaccination. I am definitely opposed to mandatory vaccination.

16/09/2021

We are at the vets. I've had my vaccination.

Cat on a hot stone ledge.

21/07/2021

I managed to get the hedgehog food again just in time before the hog comes out at dusk.

18/07/2021

There was some boring food Catherine put out for me today in my bowl. Two lots of boring food actually. I refused to eat either of them. Tonight I came outside and she's put some really nice food out for the hedgehog. Two lots. In my bowls. I think I will just eat hedgehog food.

17/07/2021

I am helping Catherine with her travel planning. Apparently I am going to have Joseph to attend to my needs when she goes on holiday.

26/05/2021

I have gone to the park with Catherine. She is sitting in the tree. I am sniffing around.

09/02/2021

Around 2.30 this morning I remembered that I actually love snow, especially in the dark, and that it is fun to play in. I made catherine open the front door for me. I was hoping Catherine would come out and play pretend "there's a mouse under there!" games in the snow on the road and in the garden. She was reluctant because she was in pyjamas and socks! Humans are such wimps, and they sleep through the best bits of the night.

08/02/2021

Where's Pushkin?

07/02/2021

Tonight Catherine went out for our walk as usual and tried to get me to enjoy it as if nothing was wrong. Utter madness! She stood around in a fur hat and a down filled jacket and wondered why I, in my bare feet, was hiding under the cars and trying to avoid the blizzard.

05/02/2021

Just back from a lovely walk to the school and the park, under the stars. My tail wagged so hard it's a miracle it didn't fall off. Now Catherine is warming her frozen fingers by the fire.

23/01/2021

I moved to the arm of the sofa. And stretched out my arm.

23/01/2021

Finally, after all these years, Catherine has realised that what I needed was a square of squares to sit in and *then* I would be willing to sit on the sofa, beside her and next to the fire and be stroked and purr.

I have found a place with sunshine at last.
