New Toys

When #1 from The Poupounette came to visit at the weekend, she very kindly brought a fabulous goody bag with her which included some treats and some very funky furry balls with string and feathers on them. They even matched the Four Abyssinians fur in colour!

Everyone as very excited and interested when The Housekeeper took them out of the packet for the first time and everyone came to see what they were like.

 But it was Dino who took to them the most. He spent hours running round the house with one in his mouth.

He was also growling and hissing wildly at any of the other three cats and at The Housekeepers if they tried to get anywhere near him! It's the only time we've ever heard him hiss!

It took a long time for him to calm down. Needless to say, there are hardly any feathers left on the first of the four balls!

This last picture is a little blurry but The Housekeeper loves it because the ball is in mid air and Dino has his tongue hanging out!

Playing Up

The Housekeepers both went out last night to an evening wedding reception and left the Four Abyssinians home alone. They had obviously all been fast asleep most of the night as they were very bleary eyed when The Housekeeper put the key in the door at midnight.

The Housekeepers settled down to go to sleep and that's when the "FUN" started!

Crystal climbed into her usual spot by Mr Housekeeper and started to purr them both to sleep and Amber decided it was time for a cuddle and stood on The Housekeeper whilst she headbutted her and nuzzled.

Dino ran up and down the stairs. Sorry. No. Dino THUNDERED up and down the stairs and did circuits of the bedroom.

And Jasper!

Jasper pulled rubbish out of the bin.
Jasper started to chew the bottom of the Dry Cleaning bags containing The Housekeeper's posh frocks
Jasper stole the brushes from The Housekeeper's make up pouch and ran off down the stairs with them.
Jasper bounced on the bed

Mr Housekeeper managed to sleep through most of this after several beers at the wedding.
The Housekeeper got out of bed AGAIN! and Jasper got shut out of the bedroom!

This then meant that Dino wailed at the top of his cat voice at the door for it to be opened again and headbutted the door continuously so it rattled.

The Housekeeper needs more sleep!
