Winston’s August 2012 blog
Winston here . . . p’rrrrr . . . p’rrrrr
Hello there, it’s me, Winston.
Why do people say ‘Hello there’?
Why don’t they say ‘Hello here’ or ‘Hello somewhere else’ or ‘Hello then? What
is it about ‘there’ that’s so important? I only say it ‘cos I hear the humans say
it but I think it’s a bit silly so I’ll start againJ
Hello, it’s me, Winston. Well, I ask you, who else would it
be when it says at the top ‘Winston’s August 2012 blog’. Who else would write
it but me? Okay, I don’t ackcherly write it – I tell Mrs H what to write and
how to write it and she does it for me ‘cos she’s got fingers what fit on the
letters and my paws slide off. I do try sometimes but my claws catch under the
letters and lift them off. It’s quite helpful of me ‘cos then she gets to see
all the dust under the letters and she can clear it up. I think it’s funny seeing
the letters flying across the floor but she doesn’t and she says things she
shouldn’t and tries to click them back into place and sometimes she can’t and I
have to look away so she doesn’t see me grinning, don’tcha know. I don’t think she likes dust and that’s why
she hides it away under the keys and on top of books and in the corners of the
room. It’s hard not to see it when the wind blows, though, ‘cos it all rushes
across the floor to hide somewhere else. She does get the masheen out sometimes
to suck up all the dust but Gus gets frightened by it. He thinks it’s going to
suck him up its spout, silly boy.
It’s been busy here – Tia and Foxy and Buster come to stay
for ever but they’ve gone home with their own people now. I had to find a new
quiet place ‘cos Buster and Bertie got too excited when they wanted to play
with me and I got a bit squashed. Mrs H said they was leading me a dog’s life –
that can’t be right, can it? I’m a cat!
Anyway, I found a place in a cupboard, on top of a box next to the dog biscuits.
Bertie wanted to get in
with me but there wasn’t no room for him so he couldn’t. I did laugh.
Jenna tried . . .
. . . and so did Frodo and Buster but they was much too big, as well.
I wouldn’t want
to live in a cupboard, don’tcha know, so I’m glad I didn’t have to stay there
all the time. It was nice being so close to the food, though.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Time for a zizz. Be good!

Well Winston it looks like you had things pretty much under control when your doggie friends were there. I'll bet you're glad they've left though. Dogs just don't appreciate a cats need for privacy. Now that they're gone, find yourself a nice spot in the sun and stretch out.
ReplyDeleteAll hail, Winston, king of the kibble pile!
ReplyDeleteWell, THAT was fun!! Loved the words and especially the photos!! What a handsome cat.
ReplyDeletePoor Winston. This was a great story by a terrific cat.
ReplyDeleteWE heard strange sounds from that cupboard in our house one day - the cat was eating his way out of the bag of Kibble ...
ReplyDeletePlus you got to be in charge of the woofie biscuits. I hope you only gave them some when they were being good :)xx
ReplyDeleteSorry bout the lil pups disturbing your peace, Winston.It's a doggy thing, you know? They can't help being boisterous, especially labs.Good though that U could nap with the biscuits alone. Did U get any?
ReplyDeleteYeah! We agree. Humans are silly sometimes with their expressions!
Mummy hides dust underneath everywhere and then tries to suck them off too noisily when the wind makes them come out. Guess it's a human thing too.Sigh! The stuff we have to endure...

Winston could be the main character in a book.He has personality.
ReplyDeleteWinston is a beauty. I share my space with three cats (one of whom is snoozing with her tail in my way on the keyboard) so I know how smart they are. Winston may say you're doing the typing for him, but I wouldn't put it past him to have figured out how to do it all by himself!

ReplyDeleteyou are in charge of that cupboard!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful family you have
It's funny Winston, but The Reluctant Dog owner also likes to keep her dust all over the place and in funny hiding spots too - it must be a human thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for keeping the doggie biscuits safe, we'll be over soon, OK?!

Geez, what a hard time for you to live with so many dogs ! they are so noisy and bark for nothing ! Arthur loves to make them bark. My cats are good cleaning cats, they wipe the dust under the cupboards with their tales ! Very practical for me !
ReplyDeleteWhat nice pink eyes, you have....
ReplyDelete@Margaret - (giggling) I tried to use 'red eye removal' but Photoshop complained there were no red eyes . . .
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got the better of those dogs Winston - poor you having to take refuge in the cupboard. You made me laugh about the hiding of the dust - I try to do that too but it usually escapes eventually :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Winston .. so good to hear your tales from Jablog land .. and am glad you've got your peace and quiet back once dawg pals have gone to their respective dawg homes ...
ReplyDeleteI thought your missus had turned the central heating on .. looks a good place for a cat - but it's fairly warm right now ..
Enjoy the rest of August - Mrs H I must say does type quite well - transcription must be her thing ..
Cheers to you both and all .. Hilary
Good place to sit Winston! I like the way you held your ground despite all the dogs trying to get in. Tiger also likes the computer, but unlike you has attempted to type-but not successfully-her paws are faar too big. Sometimes she just sits across the whole thing so I have to look at her instead of it!
ReplyDeleteWinston, I think you're funny, but please stay well away from my keyboard. I like having the letters hide my stash of dust!
ReplyDeleteWe had a cat called Winston - or rather, the children did. You brought back a lot of him for me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYour pets have the most wonderful names and they look like they're all full of personality.
ReplyDeleteI love your header photo! Very striking!
