I am a very happy cat


I am glad you have had the good sense to become a twitterer Benjamin. Did you get the useful Glossary of terms I sent you on HER facebook page. If not here it is againTWITTONARY. You will like this . SHE reminds you that this is not an exhaustive list. There is also the Twurch of England , which SHE thinks at the moment is better than the real thing. This is due in HER opinion to the failure of the real thing to get on with business of doing its job of getting ready to be a bride. At this rate it will be only a number of disappointed bridesmaids. If you dont understand this Benjamin, dont worry. SHE reads too many blogs that are good for her. You should see her list on Google Reader. Be assured , some are about Moths, one of HER favourites, some are about plants, besides the r.l.g.o.s ones.
How did you come to call yourself by such a soupy name? Please tell. Did you know that to some people the English smell of cabbage? You all smell of moisturiser to me. I wont have time to blog for a bit as I think I have to go to Cayton Carr again. I heard HIM on the phone booking me in.

Harfields Again

If you are following me on Twitter , where I am known as Fileysamson you will remember that yesterday THEY took me to Scarborough. I knew it would be somewhere good as SHE said I was going to be a lovely boy with no hint of a lie in HER voice. I can tell. I always know when SHE puts the worming pill in my tuna in jelly.
It was a lovely ride to Scarborough . I didnt make a fuss. I sat and looked at the view-the back of HIS head, the back of HER head, and in the space between; trees, the Chip Factory (lovely smell), a dead football stadium,B and Q and then the road to the LITTLE HIMS house, HIS footclinic and then that Victorian Ironwork which says road to Harfields to me. You might have read my account 'Harfields' in June 2008
I remembered my visit to LOVELY LADY , and hoped she would be there again. And She was. I had a memorable afternoon. I had time to talk to other four footed people called Canines. I behaved well ,I think,and even let her do my Tail. I must say I look very different. I made HER take some pictures to send you Benjamin. I have got some catUGG boots now, as you will see. Three are Grey and one is White.I know you had them first, but they have only just brought them out in my size so I have had to wait to hit the North with my fashion statement.
My tail looks good don't you think? It will be so much easier now going out in the grounds. I will not get told off for coming through the catflap trailing Goosegrass and dead echium leaves. I will be cooler during the Filey season which starts soon. I am so busy showing off at the gate to passing holidaymakers, that I get hot and bothered and have to keep going in my hideouts for a cool down. Now I can maximize the time I take to receive adoration, bon mots and downright envy from families catching sight of my elegant form amongst the Eleagnus and summer bedding.
