A LOOK BACK TO 2009.....OUR FIRST PROPER CHRISTMAS !

Lets take a look back to our first Christmas with our Human Mum & Dad (our very first Christmas was in 2008 with our ''Cat Mum'' and other Sister we were only 5 weeks old then so don't remember much about it)

Practising my Indoor Tree Climbing Skills !

My Sister can't get me up here  

Just checking !

Jasmine inspecting the Baubles

I love Boxes

''Tinseltastic'' Fun with my Sister

Jasmine is not for sharing her Tinsel !

Yep that's put paid to the Tinsel...good job done Sis !

Taking time out !

Seems to be a lot of shredded Tinsel around the tree...I wonder how that happened ?

Look I've found something else I'm good at...Present wrapping !....seems to have a small tear in this piece of wrapping paper..don't know how that happened...MOL ! 

Checking the Ribbon is properly secure.

Me and Jasmine Helping out ? 

Resting on top of the Kitchen units.

Christmas Day and some of the Prezzies we got.

Jasmine checking she has not left any Presents in the Bag !

My Christmas Stocking

It's gone Dark !

Do you think this a good look ?

Might have overdone the Tinsel it a bit !

Looks like I may have had too much ''Nip''....MOL !

Its been a busy Day !

Tired out !

HAPPY CHRISTMAS PALS !

Hello Pals

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~

It was 11.30 pm and my Dad was in the living room watching some telly, when he heard me come into the kitchen with what he thought was a squeaky toy....He called out ''Ozzie where did you get that Toy from'' then there was a pause for a second ...''Ozzie as far as I remember you don't have any toys that squeak....do you ?....Oh No its a mouse isn't it...you've just caught it in your outdoor run....haven't you !''    

He rushed into the Kitchen just in time to see the mouse slip from my mouth and make a dash for safety under the fridge....''Ozzie you are a Numpty Boy now what are we going to do !''

By now my Sister Jasmine had heard the commotion and had rushed down stairs to see what was happening.

She had a look to see if she could find a way to flush it out..but no she couldn't 

 Then we both had a look but surprisingly it still didn't fancy coming out. 

But as we were both watching on the right hand side, we heard Dad shout ''Its making a run for the living room''

It had gone down the side and then behind the book case making it impossible to get to unless we pull it from the wall which my Dad made it clear..that was not going to happen at 11.45pm !

Then my Mum came down from having a Shower and I got another lecture from her about picking on small defenceless creatures.

It was decided  that nothing could be done at that time of night so they went off to bed and left me & my Sister to sort it out.

Next morning when my Dad came down I indicated  that there may be something in the Boiler cupboard he took a look and found the now deceased mouse in there.

Then got another telling off from Mum & Dad and told not to catch any more tiny defenceless creatures !

Am I listening....La..La..La..La..La...No of coarse not..because.......I'm a Cat and that's what I do......MOL !

SEE YOU SOON MY FRIENDS

Catching Mice...A rough guide by Ozzie

This is my rough guide to hunting down and catching Mice in my very own words & Pictures.

My Pal Percy & Me. 
He sometimes lends a hand when I go Hunting.

Now the first thing I hear you say is - ''Ozzie you only have one eye old friend, doesn't that make it difficult to catch Mice's '', well the answer to that is a Big No ! I think because I lost the sight in my left eye gradually as the Tumour grew, by the time it had to be removed I had adapted to it very well. 
I can still do my old trick of running at full speed from my outdoor run through the cat flap into the Conservatory through the Kitchen door Cat flap ( which I have taken off its hinges on three occasions & on two of those have ended up in the living room wearing the Flap around my middle ! ) now its into the living room taking a tight right hander up the stairs, then right again at the top of the stairs, into the bedroom around the bed and repeat in reverse order. Most times I have the added pressure of my Sister chasing me about an inch from my tail !

All Harnessed up and ready to go on Patrol !

Setting out on Patrol

Now lets get on to the important stuff like.......catching Mice's !
Yes I know what's coming now, you are going to say ''Ozzie not only do you have one eye but when you go outdoors you wear a Harness & have your Mum or Dad with you''.
That is very true but my track record of three Mice caught so far this year means its not hampering my Hunting abilities.

So far all my hunting successes have been when I'm out with my Dad we are bit like ''The A Team'', I'm like John ''Hannibal'' Smith and my Dad is more like ''Howling Mad'' Murdock ! - we then put on our virtual Cloaks of invisibility & switch to 'Stealth Mode' - its only then that .......We are ready to go a Hunting !

The Meeting !
A Plan of Action is Hatched
Percy thinks we should start by going that way....I think the
other way....might have to toss a coin to decide this one !

On Patrol.

Percy is checking the perimeter fences for possible Targets ! 

The first thing is a thorough  Patrol of the Garden making a mental note of potential places of interest, it helps if you have a friend to help i.e. ''A Percy'', (We loosely base ourselves as the Cat version of the ''Chuckle Brothers'') - you can cover more ground with two of you.  The next step is having identified possible sites of interest, more in depth investigation is needed.

Lets take a look by this fence:

This looks like a likely place ! 

No.... I don't think they live here any more ! 

No Good.........Lets move on to another possible site !

Before we do.....I need to keep my energy levels up, so time to pop indoors and have a Tasty 'Stick Treat'.I love them..... but my Mum & Dad say they smell like ''Sweaty old Socks'' !

That was Delicious... I'm all topped up with Energy
........so lets carry on Hunting !

Now this looking more promising.
I'm detecting a strong smell of Mice 

Yes I can definitely smell Mice's ! 

Now lets take a look lower down the wall. 

I'm sure there is something in here, I think a little Paw
 investigation is needed here !  

Time to get my Paw really deep into the wall
(Mental note to myself, don't get your Paw stuck,
that would be embarrassing !)

We are having no luck here........time to move to another spot !
Lets take a look in the undergrowth !

I'm going in !

Gone deep undercover.......
just patiently waiting for any sign of movement.

Here we go ....think I've spotted some movement in here !

Yes I was right...... let me at it !

Success ! 

''Proud Ears''

Just let you know the mouse was not harmed. I have a ''gentle mouth'' and  Dad made me let it go (didn't want to though !)  it then ran off, never mind I can always catch up with it another day !

I hope this might have been of help to some of you.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article, hopefully there will be more stories and adventures to come in the near future
