Cameo Cats - Word Up!

Wave your hands in the air like you don't care

Glide by the people as they start to look and stare

Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma

Come on baby, tell me what's the word WORD UP!

 

Company

Isn't it warm? Isn't it rosy? Side by side!

Ports in a storm, Comfy and cozy, Side by side!

Everything shines, How sweet, Side by side!

Parallel lines Who meet, Side by side!

Year after year, Older and older, Side by side!

Sharing a tear And lending a shoulder, Side by side!

One's impossible, two is gloomy, Give another number to me,

Side by side by side by side
By side by side by side by side
By side!

With thanks to Jasper and Amber and apologies to Stephen Sondheim!

Saturday Night's Alright

(For Fighting!)

Musical Monday

Crystal has been on lead vocals, lying in the conservatory, machine-gunning and talking to the birds as only an Abyssinian can.

Amber has been batting the wind chimes which hang in the conservatory by standing on her back legs.

Jasper and Dino have been on the rhythm section, beating their tails against the lino on the landing in a rendition of "Any noise you can make, I can make louder"

The Housekeeper has been listening to her mates band on the Ipod, ready for their gig on Friday evening

Cuddle You, Cuddle Me

With thanks (and apologies to Genesis!)

In your arms, I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a purrrrfect day to spend
Alone with you

I will cuddle you, will you cuddle me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me
Not one single tear in each passing year

With the dark, Oh, I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away

I can say, The night is long, but you are here
Close at hand, oh, I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live

I will cuddle you, will you cuddle me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me
Not one single tear in each passing year there will be

The Housekeeper did consider "Brothers in Arms" but the wording wasn't quite right!

Fawn Friday

Dre-e-e-e-eam. Dream. Dream. Dre-eam.

When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms

When I feel blue in the night, and I need you to hold me tight

Only trouble is, gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die, I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
Dream, dream dream dream

Fawn Friday was brought to you today by Jasper

Wicked Green

Wicked is one of The Housekeeper's favourite musicals and tonight on Dancing on Ice, being themed as A Night at the Theatre, they had the latest incarnation of Elphaba in her full AMAZING costume and green skin on the show performing Defying Gravity. Truly Wicked!

Dino decided that he would enter into the spirit of the evening and came into the lounge sporting a completely bright green nose!!! Yes. GREEN. We know WHY it's green. We just haven't worked how he alone is the only cat in the house who ever has a green nose.

When we brought Jasper and Dino home from the breeders we were given some snazzy gift packs with some food samples, toys, treats, vouchers for money off food and a bowl each from one of the food suppliers. They have a wavy top edge to them to allow kittens to eat easily and are deep so great for large scale consumption of crunchies. They are also green.

We use the bowls daily to house the unending supply of crunchies for snacks between meals. At least 2-3 times a week, Dino and Dino alone has a green nose after eating. We can only assume that it is the combination of how he eats his dried food and drinks water that's to blame - as the bowls don't loose dye when they are washed and none of the other three cats ever have a green nose. BIZARRE.

It is also worth mentioning that I am typing this blog listening to the voice of my telephone answering machine in the hall repeating the following;

Answerphone Off.
Answerphone On. Your call cannot be taken at the moment so please leave your message after the tone.

Amber is standing on the telephone base unit - with a very innocent expression on her face and a quizzical expression because she doesn't know who's talking!

A musical night indeed

And since folks here to an absurd degree, seem fixated on your verdigris,

Would it be all right by you, If I de-greenify you?
