I have so much to blog about

…but no patience to type it. Why? Because when Izz is asleep or feeding — laptop time — I normally have her in one arm or the other, and am therefore reduced to typing using:

on screen keyboard

Note, in fact, the pressed keys: ALT + PSC (print screen) Also, the typo, in the URL of this entry…

Don’t you bloody dare laugh. :P

Furry Not-So-Friday

Hex n Purple Cat

Just a quick entry to let y’all know I’ve added a few pictures of the cats to my flickr :)

Vote for Merlin

My mum has entered one of her cats into a competition being held by a UK supermarket to find the cutest cat. The winner will be awarded with a years supply of cat food. If you think this picture…

…is as cute as we do, please vote for Merlin by clicking on the stars beneath the picture. Five stars is best! :)

PS. still sick, not dead yet though.

Furry Friday: Catching Rays

Mimi mentioned on last week’s Furry Friday post that Hex doesn’t get enough posts, and focus seems to be on Fudge. This isn’t intentional, I do not have a favourite cat. There are two problems, however, with posting new Hex material… firstly, he refuses to let me take his photograph properly, which means 90% of Hex pictures come out as a blur; secondly, he is such a dark cat and unless the light is absolutely intense, it’s almost impossible to capture his features rather than a big blob of black.

Anyway, excuses aside, this photo is from last week:

And just to keep things interesting, a comparison shot from about 18 months ago, the week we got Hexynoodles:

As you can see, there’s a bit of a size difference…

Furry Friday: Buckets

Hex and Fudge have multiple nicknames. Hex is also known as “Noodles” (Hexy Noodles) and Fudge as “Buckets” (Fudgey Buckets). The later, mostly to do with the fact that Fudge’s stomach is like a bucket… a bottomless pit. Case in point: Karl and I had just finished our evening meal, when Fudgey appears…

nom nom nom

Nom nom nom, burnt chip. Strange cat. (He can also normally be seen noming on custard creams, bourbon biscuits, guinea pig grass nuggets, fluff, hair, his own butt, etc.)
