You Missed a Bit – 72/365

Posted by Ellie

I guess I don't get out very much, as many of my photos are taken indoors and of my animals! So now those of you who have been following the progress of Joni (of the blue ball fame) will see that she is friends with Rupert. It's always handy to have a buddy who tells you when you haven't cleaned your face properly. Joni gets a bit over enthusiastic at times when playing with Joni, but on the whole it is working out well.

Safe Haven – 71/365

Posted by Ellie

In the midst of extreme building makeovers and with a young puppy on the ground level, it's important for a cat to have a safe haven. The top of the fridge is the best place from which to keep an eye on the proceedings, direct operations, referee games of Blue Ball and pull faces at Joni. So this is where Rupert sits.

Heat Seekers – 48/365

Posted by Ellie

So yesterday morning when I was up early, putting wood on the stove to get it going again, as I turned to do something else I heard a loud bang. Some build up of gasses had caused the top of the stove to lift off and had ejected the gasket ( which is a furry, ropey thing that you put in between the top of the stove and the stove body to insulate it and form a sealed join). This was not a disaster, but it meant that I had to get a replacement gasket for Steven to put into place. So, (and this was approaching a disaster for some of us) we had to let the stove out for several hours so that it would be cool enough to put this new gasket in place. The wood stove is pretty much all we use to heat our house, so this meant that bit by bit the house got colder and colder.

When you have two heat loving cats who often spend most of the day lying behind this hot wood stove, this is obviously not going to make them very happy. I looked around for them yesterday afternoon and here is where I found them. This is a bag that has a heated pad in the bottom and a thermo layer in the top. Usually they sit looking out of it, enjoying the view. Yesterday was obviously a protest and I think that Molly's tail was as expressive as the two backs facing me.

Cats For Lee – Remember to always give people something to smile about if you can!

We lost a lovely lady this week, a great contributor to G+, +Lee Daniels and while she was a great lover of flowers, which prompted the #fleurdelee  hash tag yesterday, she loved cats, too.
Back in December 2012, I heard that Lee, who was feeling poorly at the time, had not seen many cat photos on that Caturday.  I shared this posting for her with the photo of our Molly (a Cornish Rex cat) who was concerned for Lee. She wrote the following comment on the original posting:

"Rolling around laughing!  Hello, Molly!  You are just what I need to make my week wonderful!  And you're so gorgeous, but you know that, don't you?  I have the biggest smile right now!" 

I am glad to have given her a smile then. Remember to always give someone something to smile about if you can. 

I am reposting it for #catsforleedaniels

Molly is Concerned About Lee Daniels

Molly has heard that +Lee Daniels only saw 3 cats last week. It made her unutterably sad too and with her usual community spirit, she wants to help rectify that. See Lee's posting about her concerns here:

Let's all help Lee Daniels see more cats! Molly says "Make sure you post to the Public and your circles so Lee does get to see them, NOT to communities as she can't possibly visit them all to try to find your posts. Thank you!"
