Day 84 of 100, Tuesday 15th January


I’m still in the dog box – so to speak – with my mippies! Not one of them is sleeping with me, they all sleep in the lounge! Well it could be because the bedroom is rather stuffy, since I can only open the fanlight during the day.

Ziva came to wake me up at five! No clue, why – and I’m sorry, but with all the drama over them coming in at night, I had forgotten to pay attention to my liquid intake … and spent the first two hours up and down to the bathroom; before I could finally go to sleep!

I got up just after six, though. They were very peaceful and quietly waited for the time to open the door!

Bit of a challenge in the online game: There’s a new Fellowship Adventure due to start this week – and nobody will lead. I had a look and decided to lead it myself. I spent some time preparing a really simple spreadsheet for everyone to use – should be a doddle!

I’ve got a reply from Move-A-Pet so that’s all set – just need to go to their offices to hand in the booklets and to pay. I showed Rose the directions, and we’ll go tomorrow afternoon – I hope I can get the mini’s locked in!

Speaking of which: I’m happy to say that, since her fall, Lady Jane hasn’t gone down onto the ledge! She’ll stretch on the window sill, but she hasn’t jumped down to the ledge again!

I’ve been trying to come up with a way of weaving a little mat for Rose’s egg basket, to keep the eggs from rolling around on the flat bottom. You’d think a plain mat would be easy, but I can’t quite figure out how to finish the ends. I’ve been experimenting, but so far I’m not happy with the results. Yet.

WOW! After last night’s long battle to get my mippies inside, today it went off like a charm! First Mew-Mew came for munchies, so I put him in the bedroom. Outside, I called and Lady Jane came halfway up the steps, I picked her up and just as I was adding her to my cat-collection in the bedroom … Ziva came running in and ran straight into the bedroom! And it isn’t even half eight, yet! As a reward, I gave them three treats!

I had showered earlier – expecting another cat-hunt – and now I’ve just had dinner! A much better evening than yesterday! I think the trick is to get them in at sunset, before the night time insects come out to play.

What a cheeky Lady Jane! I was sitting in the armchair, enjoying my ice cream, when she inched her way on to my lap and started helping herself to custard! Right there, while I’m eating on one side, she’s got her tongue stuck in the other side of my plate! Since I wasn’t eating at the table, I allowed her the cheek!

I’ve changed a lot with regards to rules for cats in my home! Dogs may need leadership and authority – but cats respond to love! The more I spoil them, and the more time I spend with them, the more they try to please me.
