Dark in here, innit........?

Wow - all the light things went out in the house the other day! Daddy and Mum were going around getting these things out.........

They are called 'can-dells' and Mum says they are really hot! I nearly singed my beautiful tail a couple of times....

I liked having no lights 'cos Mum and I played 'chase the torch beam' - that's a good game!

But when the lights came on there was this nasty screamy beeping noise that drilled through my head.......we didn't like that at all - in fact it made Pandy have a bad turn!

Mum says it was called the 'Ha-larm' and Daddy turned it off real quick.

All in all - powercuts are definitely not my thang!!

charlie

Looky, looky!!

Look at what my Daddy maded for us!

Houses in the UK aren't built with screens, like the Mericky houses. And wiff two Before Fluffies taken to the Bridge on the Nasty Road, Mum doesn't want us to go roaming.

So Daddy maded us our very own screen! It fits into the french doors and means the doors can be open to let in some of that lush fresh air and we can't 'scape!

We likes it VERY much - thank you Daddy!

charlie

I was very disturbed this afternoon. We were shut out of the lounge (well, we know why now, 'cos Daddy was building our 'Fresh Air Thingy'). When we were let back in and I had inspected the Fresh Air Thingy,

I wandered off for a bite to eat - inspections are hard work! Well, the kitchen floor was lovely and clean....but where was my FOOD??

This is my dining area. But no tablecloth, no bowls, no FOOD!

MAMA! Don't make me poop on your pillow!

::cq:: oops, sorry Pandy [puts down bowls] I forgot.....

Wow!

That was SOME party.........

Most everyone came to help the old bagcat sellybrate her birthday! There was swimmin', tramamapolinin', drinkin', nippin' and even karaoke and dancin'! I'm pooped!!



Some new friends came; Skeeeeezix, Rocky and Maobert. They are cool dude cats and are welcome anytime (even though Pandora blew off Mao!).

Pandora is still recovering, and I'm still trying to dry my fur out. The pool has been returned to the loan company and the tramamapoline has been sent back to the people that lent it to us. There's no food left, and the drink was all drunk!

So it's back to normal here - until my Gotcha Day, which Mum says is next month!

charlie

Thank you all for coming to my party. It was a great success! :-) I hope you all had a good time!

Thank you for the presents and cards, they were all excellent. Look at these adorable cards:

from Skeeeeezix and Maobert :-)

Ah well, back to the routine of bean care. Mama was out all day yesterday in the hot and she was VERY bad-tempered when she came home. We need to do extra furkisses today. But first - a nice nap....

pandora

Party Time!

At 10pm UK time (that's about 4-5pm in Mericky), in about an hour, Pandora's Party will kick off!
If we're not here when you arrive, it'll be 'cos it's the middle of the night here, and we will be doing our usual shift walking on Mum and Daddy's faces....but everything will still be here, so party on and if we can get back we will!

She's 18yrs old on Monday and Mum said I could arrange a party tonight for her.


We have multicoloured nip for the nipheads.......

We have Shrimptinis for those that like them......

And Russianless White Russians for those with a taste for the finer things.....

Mum has instructed taps be left on for drinking.........

As it's blinkin' hot here, Mum has said we can use the pool - but no taking a whizz in the water [looks guilty]

And finally, my favourite!! Mum has ordered a tramamapoline for us younger kits.......!!

and as an extra treat, for the more mature felines - shot chess, with the finest nip brandy and scotch! (What? You didn't know nip brandy was BLUE!?!)

did I do good, Mum?? Did I??? Huh? Huh?

Pandora [yawning]: oh look!! A party fit for a feline of such beauty and poise.....and shrimptinins! Charlie, you're not all bad.

Now there's just time for a quick nap before the guys start teleporting over.

News, News!

My Mama is home! She went to see our granny and grampy in Scotland, but she's home now. She brought pictures of our cousins - look!

pandora

We gotted our Summer Secret Paw! It's so awesomely cool!! And it's a Mericky fluffie we don't know.....so we're sending Mum off to the shops! :-)

charlie

And lastly, don't forget my birthday party! Tomorrow night, bring drinks and snacks and nip (if you take it, I prefer shrimptinis myself)Everyone is invited (although, given my age, I may retire frequently!). Paws up, charlie is in charge of the games, he says he got some ideas from recent parties.....[shakes perfect head] I dread to think........

pandora

Party - 21 July.....make a note in your diaries!

I will be 18 bean years old on the 24 July!

That's 78 years old in our lifetimes..... sheesh, no wonder my bones creak....

Mama says I can have a party on the 21st July, but she's gonna be away for a week now. So - if you see this, spread the word. All felines and beans, buns, woofies invited....

Mama will do the rounds as much as she can when she gets back from our bean granny and grampy's house.

pandora

Mum's Leaving Again!!

Mum's leaving again. She's going to see our Granny and Grampy in Scotland. We don't like suitcases, they are BAD.
We watched Mum pack (charlie: actually Pandora pretended to be asleep - so Mum would think she didn't care), thinking that by using the Cat Stare we could persuade her to empty the suitcase again - but no........

When she settled down for a coffee we did the whole 'crowding the lap' thing, thinking maybe that would persuade her to stay........


We were very good, bit of sniffing, lots of purring and no fighting.....but no, she's still putting stuff in the suitcase.......

So I'm gonna sit on the draining board until she comes home!

Daddy's gonna look after us 'til Mum comes home. Good thing is we get extra snuggles from Daddy....!!

Charlie and Pandora

Happy Fur-th of July!

Charlie left this for Mama to post.

Pandora

Meeces that rattle are soooo kewl! Off to Oreo's in a minute, Pandy's coming later today, when the Mericky people are awake, she says.

Mama founded me!!

My mum founded me.

I sneaked out last night to do some 'sploring and they shutted the door wivout realising I was outside. So I creeped unner the little house in the garden, and sleeped there.

It wasn't nice, there was meeces, 'n' spy-dorrs 'n' bugs 'n' stuff and then when the sun camed up, I couldn't get out!

I cried and cried. Mama camed into the garden and looked under the little wooden house but I was napping. But she camed out a lot and I cried and cried 'Mama!' 'Mama!' - and she founded me! She called my name looked under the little wooden house with a light and got Daddy to come see.

Daddy made loud noises, Mama said he was pulling up the floorboards. I didn't like the noises, so I squeaked out of the teeniest space and dashed for the nice safe house. But the door was shut! Mama caught me and putted me in the house and I went and hid in my room.

I'm so glad to be home with Mama, it's NASTY out there.......

charlie

ps - lookee what my girlfriend Ariel has on her bloggie :-)

Mama speaks

Charlie is missing. He must have done a runner yesterday.

At least he's not on the side of the road like Ambrose, and there's been no phonecall like Echo.

Let's hope he's snoozing under a bush somewhere.......

[very worried]

mama cq

P: I did not!

C: She did! Now I have a poorly eye - see?? [screws eye shut]

P: I did not punch him!

C: Mum, she did. I was just playing and she punched me!

P: Mama, I swear on my fluffy paws I didn't punch him!

C: She's lying, Mum. Punish her, punish her good!! She might have ruined my modelling career.......and what about all my Charlie-Groupies??

M: [coughs] Have you two finished bickering? Good.
Charlie, your eye is fine. A bit of watering and it's already getting better. See, look, you can open it now. You'll be handsome again soon...

Out all night

Mama stayed out all night last night.

She went to the bean stabby place yesterday for a checkup on sumfin in her tummy. The Bean V E T said she was fine, so Mama went to stay with her friend RCA to cellybrate. They had drinks and fings, and watched the picture box.

Daddy was supposed to be poodin' sitting last night, but he had to go a long way away for the work thing, so we were all alone.........

Mama left us loads of food and we sleeped all night long - well, we won't tell about the wild party if you don't!

pandora

ahhhhhhhhh

She's home!!

charlie and pandora

Phew........

Mama's been *so* busy lately!

She has a new job and is working long hours, then she has to come home and look after us and Daddy.......
Now she is packing a bag and says she's going away for a fortnight to somewhere called school! A fortnight - that's like a kazillion sleeps! :-(

She's managing to keep her blog up to date, but she knows she hasn't been helping us with ours much.
And we're not gonna make the CatOlympics, she's afraid.

But once school is finished and everything is back to normal, she promises to help us more.

pandora

I likes chasing fings Mum calls Shaddos! Wiv the sun shining now, there are lots of Shaddos to play wiv!
Mum says she is going away for a while. No more Mummy-kisses......just Daddy snuggles for a bit :-((
