Happy New Year! Whatever day it is. According to Digicam, it is the third, but my calendars (two cat, one Shetland, one Australian, one lugger) say it is the second, so take your pick.
Time’s only a concept, after all…
Nothing much is happening here. I’ve been behaving impeccably, as always; Marmers has been ‘stremely annoyin’, as usual, and there was some quite bizarre behaviour among the humans on the cusp of the New Year. The latter has been documented elsewhere, and I don’t feel it’s my purrlace to publish embarrassing photos when fpu has already done it.
Here I demonstrate my uncanny ability to sense the purrescence of photographic equipment…

I did have fun!
But, yesterday, on the first of January Twenty-twelve, Marmers really got up my dainty pink nose.
I am still incandescent with rrrrrrrrrrage: the lovely hanging bed that fu got me last year in a stack-em-high-sell-em-cheap supermarket that has been Only Mine ever since, MY furry radiator bed…he USURPED it, INVADED it, bleedin’ NICKED it.
And then had the cheek to pose POSE for a photograph.
The furry BASTARD!
His coup was brief. Fpu removed him to a chair, some hours later, and re-instated me to my Rightful Purrlace.
But, Dear Reader, I suffered.





GOTT NYTT ÅR, as they say in Sweden. Don’t let the Marmars grind you down!
Ha det bra! And don’t worry, I’m trying my best not to…’snot easy, though. He has the embonpoint on his side
You showed great restraint, KC, in not jumping right on top of him. I think Marmers is growing bolder by the day
Worse Was To Come. He’s there right now!!! My want my bed!!!
Is the radiator not long enough to support TWO beds? Otherwise I think you’ve got a problem here, KC, now that Marmers has discovered yours. Might is right…
oh surely there would need to be some struts put in to support two Furry Bastard Beds? The material looks stretched to breaking point with Marmer’s ample frame in there. you wouldn’t want the whole radiator to come off the wall…
Good for Marmers, standing up to the local bully for a change! Get on, you stingy spoil-sport, let Marmers rest his weary belly in a spot of comfort for a change. Maybe I should get onto the RSPCC and report fpu for discriminatory behaviour resulting in loss of self-esteem and general psychological damage, and you for aiding and abetting her! Fie, fie!
He’s nothing but a bullying, attention-getting, insinuating Fatso!
Last time Aragon did the under the duvet trick, the sheets lost, and had to be replaced. Kneading claws are fatal!
YES!!:! GINGER GITS RULE O.K. !!!
Here old bat was VERY WELL BEHAVED,in fact she stayed at home all the time.
Oor Wullie,Miss Mollie and Babinette wish you a PURRY NEW YEAR
Fpu would like you to know that if Aragorn tried an under-the-duvet-trick with her she’d be most grateful. I tried to tell her it was spelled differently, but would she listen?
Good morning KC, and a happy, happy to all.a bit sweaty at this end temp in the late 30′s. and a late night watering. An email is on its way to Taddoe to support your position. Roy
A happy happy one to you too, Roy
Ours comes sweat-free, due to temp being in single figures!
A furry purry New Year to you all. Time to demand a new ‘neuk du repose’ KC!
I’m workin’ on it
My, KC you are getting and huffed and fluffed over nothing. Just make a new ‘nice place’ and in time Marmers will take to that then you can return. Mince is a dish best served cold (I think!)
Funny you should say that, MadLamb. He’s now taken to sitting on my new rug on the back of the armchair…
The grass is always greener, KC. The obvious strategy is to keep one jump ahead of him (if that’s not too energetic).
Oh that is definately not too energetic
Dear landlady (above) I wouldn’t mind if the radiator came off the wall while ginger minger was in my bed, it would give me a good laugh! And serve him right…
My what a lovely quilt! Handmade KC?
Yes indeedy, morrolesssocks
Handmade by fpu, but unfortunately, bound with bought binding which is crap, so now a bit raggedy around the edges. Someone should re-bind it. I SAID…
home made binding is best just boring to cut, I love the the soft colours of the fabric you have put with the black, Frances
so what happened to the KC gang got lost under cover or just hibernating for winter, hope you’re all well, Frances x
We have moved house and are now living on the Firth of Forth, Frances. We don’t have cat-flappery yet, but are very much enjoying making fpu open and shut the back door at regular intervals. Digicam is somewhere about…
