COLOUR MATCHING

I have to say, this little blue pixie cat is growing on me.  He is rather cute and always greets me with a chirrup and a wiggly tail. I find myself chirruping back without thinking... oh dear, I am slipping.  He then proceeds to rub his little body down the length of mine, oh that's it, the static builds up and I have to give him a little grumble for good measure.  Well, I don't want him thinking I am a sook do I?

He loves to play on the stairs and since the Orb has been shining he has been practicing catching rainbows from the Orb Danglers. He is truly fascinated with them and just sits staring at the pretty coulours and tapping the prisms of light with his paws.

There is another thing that is quite cute about Otello, he matches the decor in the house, especially the carpets and the Parentals bedroom, all in deep blue. Occasionally, this makes him tricky to spot and we all have to be careful not to step on him as he blends in so well. Just the other day I was trotting across the landing and he stood up, I had to jump over him. Momma said I maybe need spectacles, Huff. It's easier to spot Lillibet, Faith & Mr. Zeus they stand out from the carpets, except at night and their dark shapes blend in so well I have to use my whiskers to find them.  Me, well I am easy, and the only place I can 'blend in' is in the bathroom, the times I have had the shower run and I am sitting in there I could count on all four paws.  I just think it's darn right rude not to notice me sitting there with lime green eyes, I mean COME ON. Matching things can be quite fun but darn right dangerous at times!

AND THEIR OFF!

Yesterday saw a great Grand National horse race.  No injuries and certainly no horses falling so badly that they had to be sent to Rainbow Bridge.

At Maystar, we were allowed to choose a horse each.  This was done by laying out the runners in the paper on the floor so that we could choose with our paws. I had my go first because I wanted to make sure that I got Seabass.  Mr Zeus had Seabass last year and won a few quid.  I had my punt on the girl jockey before Mr.Zeus chose her again... I have things to spend that money on!

Lillibet & Otello had to be taught what to do as it was their first year at choosing a pony for the race. Lillibet got into it straight away, copying Faith whilst first she studied the form and then made her choice.  Lillibet got this right away and chose a horse near her Mum's.

Otello took his time and sat for a very long time staring at the paper, then all of a sudden, he got excited and pointed to his horse and then promptly jumped all over the paper choosing lots of horses... he didn't really get the idea and wanted lots of ponies to bet on!

Mr. Zeus was right there choosing his favourite and he smirked at me saying - "you can have Seabass!" I wondered later if he had nobbled Seabass, because he was way back in the running.

Well after ManSlave chose his horse and Momma chose a Welsh one called Teaforthree who came in 3rd.  Our £1 each way sure did get minimised when we only won back £3.60!  Oh well, it's only a bit of fun.  Now what can I get for £3.60?  Mmmmm some Dreamies Cat Treats in Salmon flavour... Nom nom nom

NOMS MACHINE
I can't believe that the little Blue Elf is in strict competition with me and my Noms. Just this morning he has tried to share MY NOMS! He is obviously used to 'many munches' in a bowl all together and I didn't want him to eat my Noms but couldn't help myself about letting him taste my fish buttons, sometimes I can be gracious!  Yesterday, I was terrified of him because he really does make different sounds to us here, a sort of high whine and some chirrupy stuff, it was unnerving to my ears and sent me running every time he came close. Today though, the little blue eating machine greeted me with his tail up by the kitchen door and I accidentally licked him - well he smelled of kitten kibble!He is now playing happily with Lillibet, albeit some parts of the game include intense Thwakking! Lillibet, being two months older is taller and much longer than Otello and where Otello is beautifully plush, Lillibet is all spiky and muscular! They get on well, but won't sleep, so Momma has to separate them and put them to bed for a nap. Even though the clocks have gone forward, it seems that getting up at 6am (new time) is taking it's toll on the Parentals and I sure one of them may take a nap soon too!  Bagsy the blankie!

In the meantime, there is a distinct smell of roast Pork today and all the crackling the works. I have been busy kitten sitting and hadn't really noticed that it had been carved. I take my place on the sofa next to Momma on the blankie and proceed to purr and purr until she relents and gives me a tiny piece of the piggy! Just for good measure, I lay my tail in her gravy to get an extra snack but not before slapping around the face with it for good measure! Of which I have a tail AND a face to lick. ManSlave looks upon us with disgust and shakes his head.  Whilst he has his eyes half shut with the shaking of his head and the 'tutting' I race over and pinch his crackling! "SLINKY" ManSLave shouts as a I run and chew, it was worth the slapped arse!

ELVES HAVE ARRIVED AT MAYSTAR

I am not sure exactly what has been going on in the last week, but Momma & ManSlave vanished to a very cold place called Poland and brought back a small blue kitten in a blue elf suit with a little 'Orb' stitched into his hat!  He is apparently a BlueSun Polski boy. I have had a small sniff and now he has been ushered into the kitten room for a few weeks quarantine apparently, so that means my Noms will be safe from a new someone pinching my share of fish buttons!  Lillibet & Faith want to Mother him already and have tried to break into the kitten room with Faith hanging on the door handle and Lillibet pushing the half door, which she doesn't know is locked!!! 

We keep hearing that his name is Otello, it's an unusual name and comes from the Opera not a miss-spelled Shakespeare play. Of course, you are always given birth names but sometimes you get called something else instead.  Remember I was born 'Trouble' and Momma changed it to Slinky and King to boot.  So you never know, this little blue elf may end up with a few pet names along the way!

I can now see another ton of kitten food being hauled into the kitten room, I have YAWPED and YAWPED trying to get in, but as per usual, the Noms just vanishes and nothing is coming out but little sacks of litter... here we go again. Kittens get everything!  What is going on in my world? YAWP.
