It has been a very dull week here with the Parentals working hard and not much has gone on here in relation to amusing events. It has rained hard and the kittens have played hard in the weather. Even though it is soaking wet, there they are, outside, being blasted and battered by the rain. they are hardy little souls. SaBreena's coat is all thick and madly wavy and curly, wind swept really! Her half sister and my grand daughter, Robyn, flies about like a bird that she is named after, light as a feather and just as agile in flight as on the ground. The two of them together, hold onto the bars of the CatPod, bodies almost horizontal with the high winds of storm Ciara. All the time, they just stay outside in all weather conditions and in the evening, they are called in and towel dried. Magnus is not as adventurous as the girls who just want to hunt all day. He prefers to take a hammock and lay there watching the antics of the mini CatWomen or just taking in a long sleep, back to the weather. He too comes in damp and windswept. His coat, along with Robyn's, is a more traditional deep ripple like mine.
Horrible Horrace and his family are driving ManSlave crazy mad. They have stolen over two tons of blue slate. It is inconceivable really watching them steal and stash a piece every few minutes and now the family is up to fourteen glossy well fed rodents. They also eat copious amounts of sunflower seeds and peanuts. They are the very best kept squirrels in the Midlands! They don't seem to hibernate any more either, they have no need. They climb to their dreys on wet days where they are snug and warm under a slate roof no doubt! Tyga nearly got her paws on a youngster, it ran up the side of the CatPod and she wrapped her paws around it's middle. She was frantic for hours afterwards and the baby squirrel takes a wide berth around the wire.

We have some lovely new come in this week from various Maystar families. The most exciting news and one we have been bursting to tell you is about Flaireling 2017 Elly, MAYSTAREX DUCHESS D'AQUITAINE, who lives with Margaret Henderson at Kallistra Cattery in Holland. Elly has had 3 beautiful babies, two girls and a lovely boy who Margaret feels will stay at her cattery to further the lines. We wish them all the very best of luck with this sweet litter and Elly is a really good Mummy cat with lots of milk, unlike her sister Tyga! We are so thrilled for them all. Thank you for sharing and involving us here at Maystar.
More news has come in too about sweet Gracie, ESPERANZA ANNE OF MAYSTAR, who is our foundation queen, Flaire & Viktori's Mum. She is very well and happy up in Scotland and enjoying life with Granny and the Walker family. I think Granny has enjoyed her company during lock down with C-19. She and Konran have formed a good solid relationship now which was slow growing due to the little fella's allergy to her. He persevered and enjoys her company, without touching.
New in from Flairelings 2020 & Tygaling 2019, Teddy, MAYSTAREX EARL-OF-ARRAN & Buddy, MAYSTAREX LORD RHYS. They are just hooked to each other twenty four seven unless cuddling their Mum and making her feel loved after a heavy day at work, where they help with zoom calls and giving her abundance of love and cuddles. They are so very happy and quite different with Teddy being a bit naughty and funny and Buddy a more chilled gentle boy. They always say that opposites attract!
Another sweet update from the delicious Bruno, MAYSTAREX LORD ERSKINE, and his Mummy Dr Anna, who is an Social Anthropology scholar and lecturer. She and Bruno have such an affinity together, he is part of her skin and he loves her completely. He is also including himself into zoom calls and online lectures which I am sure the students are enjoying. After his tummy upset, he has been watched like a hawk in the garden in case he munches something he shouldn't, just like the beautiful Orchid with extra pretty and very tasty grass that I ate! sigh. We can't help it! Everything tastes lovely. And Ikon's children seem to have picked up his munching habits.
 Freya on the door |  Astrid hiding on the shelf |  Floki loving the sunshine |
In honesty, Momma gets updates regularly from most of the kittens who have left home. Lots of news always from the Brown family about their three girls, Astrid MAYSTAREX MAIDOV NORWAY, Floki MAYSTAREX COUNTESS ARRAN & Freya MAYSTAREX PRINCESS BATTENBURG. Freya is a pure white girl and often Momma gets a text that she is yet again being naughty and is called the 'little fooker'. Just recently she has learned to climb the doors - just why asks Russ Brown? Then Astrid is always vanishing and a big search ensues where she is usually found on a shelf somewhere. Then the reports of the very well behaved, well adjusted Floki who is Flaire's Sister.
I feel you have had enough updates for one day. I don't want to tell you about every Maystar cat out there in one day, especially as this blog is all about me really! Just a quicky update on my royal self, I have been on this special diet which still makes my skin rather sore under my legs and it won't be long now to see if I can slowly go back to a food that doesn't make me so itchy as it doesn't all go to my skin, it goes inside too and upsets my tummy and my throat is a bit closey shutty and I keep having slight problems a few times a week. Mostly when Ikon jumps on me and I gasp with fright then that in turn causes a flick flacking moment. Momma dare not leave me. I have access to the kitten room through the catflap and often he chases me to it or waits outside to whack me. I hear he will soon be spending a little time outside soon because he is so bully boy and us CatWomen are getting a bit frayed with his antics. I have a further week of tablets, paste, this food and my Atopica. I sneak about on my belly in front of Momma as she slowly catches me up and I am subjected to the nasty stuff. At least the amount of tablets for my wee reduction have reduced. Momma tries her best and sucks up some honey water with the nasty tasting Atopica liquid. It stops me gagging and then mixes the tablet contents with the paste for a one off entry system. It's still vile - I can't look at her for at least an hour, then I forget and rumble out a purr before bedtime, then get in for a cuddle and kisses and she reads to me.
Today is sunny and bright, it is a definite day for bird watching. Not just the feathered kind but the plucked kind too with a cracking freerange Red Leicester chook. Although, it is rather heartbreaking that we can't have any of it. Doesn't stop us begging like crazy as it's being served. We will be pacified with dried ducky treats instead. bothered? Not really, anything is better than nothing I h=guess and it's like eating the smell!
With much bowing and scraping this bank holiday to all you serfs. Your Queen of Queens - Queen Vee =^..^=
