Friends! After the Frog Incident, it was time for me to teach my Deputy, Percy, how to play with the Garfield Treat Toy. I’m very good at it! Unfortunately, Baby Dog thought I was releasing the treats for him and rather spoiled my demonstration! 🙀

Friends! We’ve had a rather STRESSFUL morning! Mum came downstairs to hear some sort of screeching noise and the Triplets behaving like this. Mum knew she should move the Toybox and look behind it, but she was scared! However, it didn’t take long to see what it was… you may spot it before Mum did. She successfully caught it and released it into the garden! 🙀

Friends! It’s Dad’s birthday today so we’ve been getting in the spirit of it by playing some games. As some of you recently predicted, my new energy levels mean I have felt up to a game of #StairWars - Mum provided the commentary and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Let me know your thoughts on everyone’s tactics in this game! 😸

Friends! We found my old Garfield Treat Toy. Remember it? We put it out for the Triplets to try, but they weren’t that good at it. Percy refused to even try, and he didn’t want Ron to try either! Funny to watch them… I wasn’t prepared for the cute ending!

Friends! Ron continues to help me look after Baby Dog. He’s even getting quite squished here, but he doesn’t mind. He’s such a good Ginger Boy 🧡 Baby Dog’s hoodie needed a wash, so temporarily back in the body suit, which he wasn’t impressed about. Ron made it better though 🧡

Friends! Who wants some GOOD NEWS? I am feeling great on my thyroid medicine. It’s like I’ve got a new lease of life. Just watch me… I’m almost 18 but I’m full of beans! 🫘 😹 #Caturday

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. I’m keeping Baby Dog company this afternoon whilst Malcy has a nap. We are all a bit tired because we were up later than usual with all the firework bangs! I think Baby Dog and I might have a little snooze in a minute ❤️

Friends! Last night in the UK was Bonfire Night when lots of fireworks go off everywhere. I’d like to show you how I’ve taught my Team not to be scared by the Bangs and Cracks in the sky. I lead by example. Put your volume up to hear what we were hearing 🔥 🧨

Friends! I’m afraid to say that the Triplets are taking full advantage of Baby Dog being Under-the-Weather. We are getting full on NAUGHTINESS without the usual supervision that Baby Dog provides. Goodness knows where this will end! 🙀

Excuse me! It’s Percy here! Remember the Box I told you about? Someone moved it into the living room and took the Brown Crunchy Paper out. Suddenly, the Brown Crunchy Paper seemed to be ALIVE and behaving SUSPICIOUSLY! I had to take charge of the situation…

Excuse me! It’s Percy here. Newsflash! Mum put a box in the hall, ready for the recycling, but I thought… “that would make a nice house!” So I’ve moved in. I might stay here for the evening… see how I get on.

Friends! Update on Baby Dog. He’s feeling a bit better. He’s had a couple of steroid drops in his ears which really soothes his itching all over his body. He’s also changed to a hoodie which he can’t scratch through, so his sore bits have a chance to heal. He’s feeling more comfortable. Thank you for caring about him ❤️

Friends! Baby Dog was SO grateful for all your supportive Get Well messages yesterday. They really helped him. He would tell you himself, but he’s a bit embarrassed about his DRAMATIC reaction to the Ear Drops. He’s such a Drama Queen! Have you ever seen such a fuss?! 🙀

Friends! You may have noticed that Baby Dog has been quiet. He’s really struggling with his skin allergies at the moment. October/November is the worst time of year for him. Something to do with spores coming off wet leaves. He’s got to go back to the Vet today and he’s not happy… as you can see 😿

Friends! Wow! We have been so lucky to be given new Halloween toys by @MrsBandMinnie and @JeanwithMLandL Thank you so much to them because we had an Amazing Time playing - especially when Mum put some Treats in the Mini Coffin! I got first dibs, of course! 🎃 👻

Friends! It’s Halloween! 🎃 I wanted to show you our Pumpkin this year. It’s funny! Mum chose this design because it made her laugh. It’s important I protect it from the others, so this is where I’ll be stationing myself for most of the day. #HappyHalloween to all my lovely friends! 🎃

Excuse me! It’s Ron here! I think if I reach out far enough, I could just about reach you for a high five. What do you think? 🐾 💖

Friends! I missed Throwback Thursday yesterday, but I was reminded by a kind friend of this great Cat Pumpkin we carved a couple of years ago, and I really wanted to share it again for those of you who are carving pumpkins today 🎃 Enjoy!
Friends! It’s #Halloween and I asked Mum to carve a Cat Pumpkin this year. Here, you can see how we did it. Two things are important: you start cutting from the bottom of the pumpkin, not the top! And when you cut out the eyes, make them complete triangles that can be used as ears. 🎃 We’d LOVE to see photos of your carved pumpkins, whatever you decide to do! And remember not to leave your pumpkins outside after Halloween because they can spread disease, make wildlife sick, and attract pests. Thank you 🎃 Happy Halloween to all our gorgeous friends! 🎃 #HappyHalloween #Malcy #catsathalloween
