Our Christmas Adventure

25/12/2013

1 Comment

 
It was a super long drive to have a Christmas break and one that made a few of us a bit peeky, namely Faith, who manage to be sick in Momma's boot and handbag, not to mention all over the front of ManSlaves car. Poor Lillibet was in the footwell at this point and had a fair share of flying biscuits all over her... she was NOT amused and hasn't been in the footwell since!  Besides the traumatic beginning of a five hour journey, we fared pretty well and were ready to cause some trouble at dinnertimes, present opening and luncheons...

At first, Faith was really unsure about visiting the Grand Mews in Wales and Aunty Jobo, but once she realised where she was, she was happy to race about and fill her memory banks of when she was 9 months old and she had her first Christmas there. Unfortunately, Lillibet was a bit clingy, so Faith beat her about the head a few times and was mighty grumbly for a few days.  Now familiar with her surroundings, she tried to climb onto kitchen surfaces and tablecloths to see out of the high windows... After this little debacle, we were somewhat banned from the kitchen. "It's not like home" she kept saying as the Parentals lifted her down for the umpteenth time to rescue the table cloth from Litter feet!

Lillibet, once settled, became so bold.  She was enjoying the freedom of running from one end of the bungalow to the other and you could hear her little bell tinkling on her collar.  Personally, I think it was this she was trying to get away from. There was a super chair that was brand new and never a claw had stuck it!  This, of course, was Lillibets favourite chair.  It was by the window and looked out over the fields.  She was told to get off copious amounts by various humans, but she is stubborn and just turned her back on waving hankies and prodding!  She climbed onto the dining table at one point to see what folks were having for breakfast, she was pushed away, which made her go all stiff and she went to raise a paw at the offending human, only to be stared at by Momma.... she got down muttering "But I didn't do anything, I was just making sure the milk was fresh".


Of course, the second my feet hit Welsh soil, I knew where I was. Although, due to the long travel, I was a little off my usual colour. Not that it stopped me from eating my noms, but it did render me bed bound for a day.  I am getting older now and all the stress of thinking we might be left behind this time, took it's toll! Once up and about, I did make myself useful and checked out all of the warm spots in the house and showed them to the CatWomen.  I even got a small run outside in the fresh air. I like that, quite invigorating to nip hither and thither under your own esteem.  Problem is, I wanted the freedom all of the time and kept on and on, until someone took me out for a wander.  There is only one place the humans have 'allowed' me to sit up high and this is by the backdoor. It's a compromise as it's a no cat policy in the kitchen, but I have been coming here for a few years now that I have ground them down into accepting this small area as mine. They are such kind folks and really, we are so determined, it must be quite a drain on their patience.

All in all, we had a super time.  It was fun and a little different being in such a big house with so many nooks and crannies to explore.  The CatWomen loved to dash about under the furniture and along the narrow windowsills. I am not sure if we will be invited back again though? I think three of us bending humans to our will was quite enough for some Grandmews.  We are well behaved, in a naughty sort of way!

OOH LA LA AND ALL THAT JAZZ:-
I knew something was wrong when I saw the orange ruck sacks being packed, this usually means a longer trip away for the Parentals. The overnight bag is black, I am one smart cookie when it comes to what the Parentals are up to.  Include in that a visit from Uncle Paul... Bingo - holiday. Traitors!

Well, it concludes that they left for the South of France to visit Faith's Kittens as all three, Jasmine, Jamie & Lillibet are a year old today!  They took a few choice items with them, namely collars and catnip, both of which I got to try for size.  The catnip fitted very nicely thank you!

Jaz and Jamie are full of beans, Jamie often writes to me about all sorts of things but mainly how well looked after they are.  Momma just had to see it for herself and she wasn't disappointed at all!  They are fed better than we are, have a balcony, toys and get to go out in David's Jeep and Eva cooks every night for them and they live in the lap of luxury.  They don't drink water, but Champagne from cut crystal flutes and dine on steak, racks of lamb and salmon brought in especially from their homeland of Ireland.  They prance about in Velvet collars and speak fluent French.  I really don't think there is any more to say about the fact that they are spoiled rotten and are doing very well at lapping it all up.

Lillibet on the other hand is like a small urchin having the leftover chicken occasionally and just plain old kibble.  I haven't told her how her Brother & Sister are living or she may start to want more.  She is happy not knowing.  Momma made her a special cake with a candle and she blew it out and mad a wish.  I only hope she didn't wish for the Salmon Eva sent home with Momma... It's gone!

A BIT OF A BREAK
Uh oh.  Yesterday the black overnight bag was packed, It is good in one way as when the rucksacks come out you know the Parentals are off for more than a night or two.  Well, again, no one else has noticed but me and I have also noticed that my little bag is also packed with my food & kibble.  This is kind of worrying because I was looking forward to beating up Mr.Zeus without the Parentals telling me off.  We used to be such friends, but lately we are squabbling.

So it is to be that I am a little traveller and on goes my special black collar with the studs and I am loaded into the car to sit on Momma's lap in a warm blankie. At first I hate it, but now I am here in Wales after a 4hr drive, I race around the house, Aunty Joey gets out my scratch post from the attic and I play like a kitten.  One thing I really like about being at the Grand Parents is I get to chill out and relax and have ManSlave & Momma all to myself. I purr and purr and am quite demanding, but they love it really! ManSlave often leaves his paper for me to read and I can just veg out, then have a play in the bidet and wash my feet!

ManSlave doesn't know why I have to come with them, but I think it's because I am a real pain in the butt and even if they don't get any sleep because I wake them up at 6am, I still get to go so that the others can free feed without me gobbling up every biscuit in sight. They will all be angry and upset when we get home because Road Trips are for special cats and I am a very special cat indeed.

THE TERRIBLE TWOSOME

The MiniCats have enjoyed Christmas Day and have ransacked the lounge and everything in it.  What they create in two minutes, takes Momma most of the morning to clear up!

These two little rapscallions have always played together and raced about together, so on their very very long trip to Pembroke by car and then onwards to Co. Tipperary by Ferry, they should be very well bonded indeed.  It isn't long and I can see the preparations already.  I have spotted not only the Parentals big black bag, but my little case with all my things in too... but only mine?  Does this mean that I too an going to be shipped off to Ireland or does it mean that we are visiting the Parentals - Parentals in Wales?  I hope it's the latter as I would soon be returned!
I go and check that all my food has been packed correctly and that my special Blankie has also been packed and that my litter tray is washed and clean and full of new litter - I do so like to mark that around half way on our journey, that should make them pull over!  I don't travel particularly well, but I will be a good Uncle and check on those little MiniCats and reassure them that's life of car travel is a breeze.  The other end is always lots of fun and you can usually set your own boundaries, so I shall make sure they go with this advice in mind.  I am sure they will adapt well into their new home.

The only thing I am not looking forward too is all the blubbering that will ensue. What with TomFun going to Rainbow Bridge and now the MiniCats leaving home, Momma is in quite a mess.  She knows they will be fine, but she will all miss them thundering around the house and ManSlave will miss the cuddles, Jaz & James had really taken to him!  Oh well, time for me to step up to the mark and fill in the spaces and make myself larger than life when we arrive at our destination.

    QUEEN VEE

    OFFICIAL BLOG SPOT
    Since 2012 King Slinky has written and devoted his life to his loyal subjects, but with his passing in October 2016 someone had to be successor to the crown.

    The position now falls to Queen Viktory Vee.  She is now the reining monarch here at Maystar HQ.  

    Viktori lives with her  Sister Flaire, Niece Pearl and two aunts Faith & Lillibet.  We do have a reigning King Otta but he lives away from the HQ.
