CATNIP

Today i brought home some dried catnip, it was for tea honest. Well of course some had to be offered to the cats and i gave each a pinch then went and set some on the kitchen rug as I know the street cats at least 2 will come in as it is raining.
I wish that my house is not so dark as M'Agnes had her first taste of the STUFF!
At first she was just following my fingers looking for the treat, then after a bit she sniffed the carpet and started to rub and roll.
OH how ecstatic she was. she even took a swipe at Cage as he came slinking in.
Then she raced me to the room and noticed MORE and had to roll some more.
right now she is laying behind me on a slightly sprinkled sweater pretending to groom herself. Robber who had been there is probably ouside in rain slightly high on the nip.
Wait no The Rockstar has just slammed his way back into the room.

New beginnings

Hello, M'Agnes is now a whole 9 months old and very confident in her self. For her nine month we went to see about getting her friend Blackberry a new companion.

The bunnies did fine together in the store. They were relaxed nibbling and grooming themselves no confrontations no aggression no dominant behaviors so we all felt comfortable with the adoption. So we came home with Harry, and set everything up and all is good.


-----That is until the next morning when i set up a safe area for more bonding. Blackberry became DOMINANT fast and aggressively so. I was warned about this possibility so I was ready for it. So much for a quick peaceful bonding. I did a few sessions yesterday and now I have them in the outside pen with Harry in the barn and Blackberry in the pen so they have fresh air and can get close but not biting close. Harry does not seem to know what to make of all the cats that keep sniffing at him but he has only been here for a 2 days now. I have hopes that both will be happy.

As to my knitting I have joined a mystery KAL called In Dreams. it is based on Galadriels Crown in the Two Towers. This will be my first lace project so i am getting excited. I will have a group that I am knitting with... yes I am quite insane Instead of starting with an easy lace pattern I jump in to a large project that is calls for 5000 beads.

Cheers

Trying to not freak out

I sit here starting to quietly freak out,

I am waiting for Robber to come crying at my door to be let in. He still has not arrived it is 1:30 am. I am usually asleep by now as it is a work night. I am trying to remain calm as the cats are calm. I am knitting a toy to send to the cats of the Mean Kitty site.


I again looked out side and ventured down the street toward a very busy road. still not seeing my RockStar my Little Robert E LeeRoy. Thankfully I do not see any furry pancakes. I continue to worry. It is almost 2 I again check the house for his normal spots and again nothing. I walk back into my room I again turn on the heater as it is chill and the cats are watching me. I finally go to my Mothers room and wake her up to ask if she has seen him,


The Brat is sleeping by her pillow!!!

Happy New Year

Wow it has been a while since I made a post. I have posted M'Agnes on You Tube now. She is showing how easy it is to walk on a leash.
Of course this video is not on YT. It is not much of a video ;) Moira is as always annoyed that she is here and Lulu is still momma cat. Robber is now happy with her as SHE is a size He can play with on an equal level. He might be a tad bit bigger still but for him that is quite alright. M'Agnes loves a good knock down drag out spar session and they will chase for hours. I am coming to the anniversary of Isolde's death It is still very hard to get past. I still cry I still miss her. She will always be my Queen. Right now Robber is laying in an almost finished knit basket. it is suppose to be felted but I have yet to find it sans gato! Moira is on the *finally* felted rose window bed. another project that took forever to felt as they would not get off of it long enough. It is a lovely splash of color. All yellow purple and blue in over lapping petals. The play of short row really gave it body and bumps that the cats love. It has *puurr*-fect pillows for them while they rest.
