Cattery Fire in the UK

We are sure that for anyone reading our blog, they will be no stranger to "The Rainbow Bridge" and that it needs no explanation.

The Housekeeper has had a damm good cry this evening and hugged the Abyssinians even tighter on reading news on the BBC website about the terrible news of a cattery in Staffordshire in the UK loosing 20 animals in a fire today.

Words simply cannot descibe how the cattery owners and individual pet owners must be feeling

The Neighbours

The Housekeeper has been babysitting for the last week to "the boys next door" whilst their "parents" are in France for a family celebration, so she thought that she would introduce you to them both. Not that either of them were incredibly happy about having their picture taken.

You can tell that they are not quite the exhibitionists that our Four Abyssinians are, can't you!

This is Tyler - otherwise known as Wiggy

And this is Jack!

Wiggy has been coming round each day to visit The Housekeeper for some company whilst she has been tidying up in the garden after work each day. The Four Abyssinian's arn't too happy about Wiggy being in the garden though!

Printer Problems

The Housekeeper is having problems today with her printer, the one she uses for the business. Its stopped working part way through printing a stack of invoices and dispatch notes. After trying all the usual remedies i.e. rebooting the laptop, rebooting the printer, cleaning the printer cable heads, adding more paper to the tray and turning it off and on again!, she has finally given up and got the spare colour printer out of the workshop, which of course, has barely any ink left in it. Joy!

Looks like its a trip to the suppliers this afternoon for a new printer then - and having looked online, none of the new monochrome printers take the same printer cartridge that The Housekeeper has in stock for the monochrome printer. Deep joy!

In frustration, she posted on her Facebook page that it has stopped working and her friend Katy sent her the above link, which of course just meant that The Housekeeper sat in absolute hysterics and forgot completely about the printer issues.

Enjoy - as long as you are not easily offended!

The YouTube user, Chris Cohen has posted a whole host of different cat vs clips on the same site

Cat Map

Cat Blogging Map

Yes, you read right, We said Cat Map, NOT Cat NAP!!!! There are more than enough pictures of The Four Abyssinian Cats asleep on this blog already.

This wonderful map comes care of  our friends Freya, Teego and Chatzi why not add yourself to the map and pass on the map link information to your other cat blogger friends out there!

Organising Cats

Storing Cats Link!

Apparently it's not so difficult to organise them and store them after all .... Now where did I put those boxes?

The Housekeeper is thinking that organising the Four Abyssinians to do this would be somewhat more difficult. Getting them all into or out of a particular room (like getting them out of the conservatory at night to lock up) is difficult enough as it is!

Thank you Katy for this little gem, orginally blogged on a website called The Daily Tail!

Sorry ....

Bob the Big Issue Cat

Today, we would like to take the opportunity to tell you about Bob! He's ginger, he's not Abyssinian, but he IS very special.

Bob has been adopted by James, an out of work musician who sells the Big Issue at Angel Islington and Covent Garden Tube Stations in London and they are inseparable. Bob himself is a licenced Big Issue seller

This link was forwarded on to The Housekeeper by another cat loving friend.
