Windy Sunday

I went to bed late again last night, and as a result woke up very late again. But I did have some laughs. At one point Ziva was curled up next to my head with Mewthos behind her (from my point of view) and Lady Jane behind Mewthos. Until Lady Jane slipped and fell off the bed! Than Ziva left to lie on the bedside table.

A little later, Lady Jane had come back and curled up behind Mewthos again. I coaxed Ziva to come back to bed – only: she plonked herself right across Mewthos and Lady Jane! After a while Mewthos got up in disgust and moved a little lower. In the end I had those three cats forming a line from head to knee next to me, kittens stretched out, mommy curled up by my head!

I woke up around sunrise, as I went to the bathroom, Ziva shot out between my legs. So I let her out – then went back to sleep. And woke again very, very late! The weather is cooler, but even this morning the wind is blowing at an unpleasant speed! I’ve put the door on ‘wind-control’, where I place the mallet between door and frame to keep it open, and the doorstop behind the door, so it can’t open further. That way the cats can come and go, and I don’t sit in a wind tunnel!

By noon the wind gusts are so bad, I’ve had to close the door completely. None of the felines want to go out in that, anyway, they’re all loafing around by my feet. Rose decided to visit now, before the wind gets dangerous – one of those gusts can really push a person, and at the wrong time, from the wrong direction, she could miss a step on those stairs!

During her visit, Lady Jane went to explore my chest again, looking for a snugly, comfy spot to sleep. I’m sorry, but after about fifteen minutes of her bum in my face, I put her down to cuddle up to Mewthos and Ziva, who were sleeping under the window. While I’m trying to motivate myself into some action.

Felines are all sitting around the front door indicating their desire to go out, so I opened the door for them – they were back less than five minutes later! The wind is really, really unpleasant. It ruffles fur unpleasantly. I’ve had to close every single window, and now it’s overcast as well.

I made a quick kibble puzzle to get them ‘off my back’ for a bit. I’ve washed out a few plastic bottles for that purpose. So I cut a hole in it, filled it with kibbles and sat back. Ziva figured it out in less than five minutes! She’s a really, really intelligent cat!

At half past eight the power went out. Apparently lightning struck the power station. No further comment from me. Anyway, they repaired it in two hours, so by half past ten the lights were on again. Of course, by that time, I was already in bed.
