Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week I have two short flash backs, Flynn from May 2010, and Eric from June 2010. Eric's has a video too which I am hoping will work as I had a problem copying it and had to go back to the original url.

Flynn:  Peek a Boo!

Mancats like to play like kittens sometimes.

Peek a boo!

Eric and Dad.
Dad has been coming with us lately when we take mum for her walks. We often sit on the grass together having some man time. He even helps me show off my tummy.



On the way back we sometimes play with long bits of grass. You can see my tummy again at the end of the video.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week the flashback comes from June2010 and is called Vishus Deer Patrol.

We have been very worried about the vishus deer ever since we heard about the woofie that got attacked. We know they hang out in the little wood at the bottom of our fields, so we thought we had better check them out and see if they were there. We don't want them attacking our Beans.

We had a good look from higher up and we couldn't see them. We decided it would be safe to go down there.

This is one of their favourite places amongst the trees.

We can't see any sign of them.

We thought it would be safe to stop and look at the primroses. This is where the vishus deer jump over the fence to come into the field. They knock the electric fence down and dad has to keep checking it so the horses don't get out.

On nice sunny days they like to lie in the sunspot behind the two trees.

Eric: Well we haven't seen any sign of them but all this walking has made me hot, so I had a paddle in the stream to cool my feet down.

That feels much better.

Hmm, there are some smells here. We think they have been this way.

Flynn: I will go up this tree so I can see further. You keep checking for their smell down there Eric.

Eric: Okay Flynn, I'm pretty sure they have been here recently.

Flynn: I'll go up higher so I can have a really good look.

Eric: I think it is all clear Flynn. The scent is getting weaker. I think they have gone for today.

After all that hard work we went on to the earth and enjoyed a nice refreshing roll.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the Flashback comes from May 2010 and is called:

My Secret Hiding Place.

When it has been very cold lately it is hard to find somewhere good to keep warm. The other day I found the airing cupboard door open and before you could say 'Where's Flynn?' I was in there. Oh it is lovely with all the nice clean warm towels to snuggle on. Nobody knows about this secret place.

Uh-oh, I think I may have been spotted. Surely she wouldn't make me move. If I keep very still and quiet, she may think she imagined seeing me in here.

Aww go on mum, it's cold out there. You wouldn't make a poor freezing kitty get out of such a nice warm bed would you? Thanks mum! She let me stay.

Of course I won't leave Eric out so here is a video of him getting chin and whisker scritches.

My dad gives the best whisker scritches ever. His chin scritches are pretty good too.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week I have two short posts from April 2010. 

The first is from Flynn and was a Tummy, Tail and Toesies Tuesday

Tummy

Tail

and Toesies.

Eric's post was called I Spy.

We were walking around the fields and I thought I heard a familiar noise, so I had a look through the hedge.

I thought so! The sheep have been having their lambs and now they are back in the field next to us. You can biggify to see the baby lambs better.
They are a bit scared of us. When our heads pop through the hedge they go bouncing away.

For Eric I used Reds at 50%, then added Beauty at 40%


For Flynn I only used Illusion at 60%.
