Sleepy cat!

I think Suki tries to camouflage herself, by lying on the multicoloured stair carpet. It also gives her a good view of who is coming to the door, and an 'escape route if she decides she wants to bolt up under the bed in one of the bedrooms!
However most of the time she spends sleeping - wherever she finds comfortable!!

My Muppet personality

You Are Kermit

Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies!


I was a bit worried that I would turn out to be Miss Piggy, as I have a similar figure to her!!

FAT CAT at the Trough



This is my rather fat cat tucking into her evening meal. She was fairly skinny when she first came to stay with me, but a mother and a husband who gave her food on demand 18 hours a day, meant that she grew rather large. She has now been cut down in rations, to suit her lethargic lifestyle, as this is a cat which does NOT like to go outdoors if she can help it, unless it is very late at night when there is no-one around but you keep the door open so she can rush back indoors at the slightest sound!!!! Talk about a scardy-cat. There are other pictures of her throughout the blog if you like cats.

I was just on a blog site which had this interesting thing about "What is your Celtic Tree" Funnily enough there is something similar at Dean Castle Country Park Visitor Centre but you have to be able to go there to read it!!
I fyou want to find out your tree just click on the link

You Are A Rowan Tree
You are full of charm and cheer. You light up a room.And while you crave attention, you do it without ego.You are an interesting mix of contradictions - and very unpredictable.You are both dependent and independent, calm and restless.You are passionate, emotional, gregarious, and (at times) unforgiving.


It was funny to find out I am a rowan tree - they were very special trees in the highlands - the home of good spirits, which could ward off evil from the home. That was why so many were planted mear o the doors of highland crofts. Of course they also were one of the few hardy scottish trees, easy to grow, and they would provide shade from the sun and shelter from the wind and rain for people at your door too!!
