Walled Garden

We had some fun today. The mom carried me over to the walled garden where they were pulling weeds. There were a lot of birds to watch -- even a wee lady who brought two swains over to do their mating ritual dances right in front of me! I did not catch any mice today but I smelled some under the wet plants. Rabbits too, outside the garden wall.

Here I am, enjoying the view from under the Swiss chard.

I'm not so sure if I like the geese and chickens though. Roosters are noisy. There's a dog that comes with the work crew but it goes away too.

There was plenty to see.

I was also "window cat" during tea time and lunch time in the work house. That was alright. I was much admired and nobody bothered me there. It was good to get outside. Ireland smells good.

There is also a cat at this castle, who has the manly name of Pusskins. I showed him my dominance easily enough by eating treats in front of him. He sits outside our window sometimes and looks in. He's a bit of a nuisance when he wants to come and chat all the time, but you know, young boys are like that.

French cat food isn't the best

Yesterday we went to that vet clinic with all the dogs in it. Not so good.

Today was better, though not the greatest. The humans slept late, then left us alone.

At least she put the TV on mid-afternoon when they came back. That made it more interesting, though I prefer Venice Classic Radio.

(That's veniceclassicradio.eu, for those of you who weren't yet in the know.)

Clara finally got over her fussiness and used the toilet facilities the humans are providing. That was good.

The cat treats they've been offering us (from that vet/passport place) are sadly under par. At least there's still Fancy Feast from the suitcase to be had. I hear there may be raw food in my near future. I hope that's true!

Cats are aces for jet lag

Not everybody knows this but having a Zen philosopher cat along while you're travelling across many time zones can be very good for jet lag.

You see, I first taught the Mom to meditate, and I'm also very good at inducing sleep. Normally when people have jet lag they might lay awake overnight, but luckily the Mom brought me along. When she's awake and ought to be asleep, I get up close to her and rumble and hypnotize her to sleep.

Cat2 and I are tired of being in boxes! We were very happy to be out of the boxes today on the train, when I again hypnotized the Mom to sleep. 

We're glad when we get a comfy bed to purr to sleep on.
