The
Entropy Gang’s May 2015 blog (formerly Conservatory Cats’ Chats)
All
change!
Herschel: It’s been very busy in and around our
palace. First Paul and John came and took down the old garden fence and put up a new one. Then Paul came and put up new banisters. It was good to see the iron
bars go.
Isambard: The THINKER and The MAID and Susannah took
all the pictures off the walls and emptied many of the cupboards and packed up
lots of things. Then Susannah painted the walls. They looked ever so much
betterJ
Jellicoe: After that some men came and took up all the
flooring downstairs and put new boards down. They put new carpet on the stairs –
it’s lovely for sharpening our claws. The HUMANS
don’t like us doing that – I don’t know why.
Herschel: There is much talk of the Cat FENCE –
rumour has it that The THINKER has decided to let someone else put it up. I
hope he hurries up.
Isambard: We were interested to see some men changing the
GARDEN. They put a FENCE round the POND so that Frankie can’t fall in it. They also
made a dry stream bed and laid nice fresh grass – we can’t wait to get our paws
on.

Jellicoe: Susannah wanted us to make friends with Pats so she
opened the door into her area so that we could go in and out. Herschel and
Isambard were quite polite and happy but Pats doesn’t like me so I don’t like
her.
Herschel: We were quite sure we could all be friends
but Jellicoe wasn’t very nice to her – he bullied her so that’s why she doesn’t
like him.
Isambard: The really interesting thing is that
Susannah had kittens – well, not her exactly, but she brought two Somali
kittens home one day. (Somalis are
long-haired Abyssinians.) They’re brothers and they’re really fun. Herschel
plays with them a lot.
Leonard, known as Lenny
Solomon, sometimes called Solly
Jellicoe: They spend a lot of time downstairs with us,
bird-watching in the conservatory. At night they go to bed with Susannah though
sometimes they end up with Bertie and us on The THINKER and The MAID’S bed. It’s
quite crowded when we’re all there.
Herschel: A sad thing that happened was that Frodo,
the spotted dog, has gone. We miss him because we liked cuddling up with him.
Isambard: We liked him because he had spots,
like Herschel and me, and he was big and warm and gentle.
Jellicoe: I’ve got spots, too, on my tummy. Actually, we all
had new spots, apart from Jenna, even the HUMANS. Leonard and Solomon, the kittens, gave us ringworm.
They didn’t mean to and we’re all better now.
Herschel: The THINKER and The MAID keep saying there
will be a surprise soon.
Isambard: We know that Lolly is coming to stay
for a few days when Bethan and Robert go on holiday so that can’t be the
surprise.
Jellicoe: We can’t think what it will be. I hope we like it.
Do my spidey senses detect the arrival of a new puppy?? Look out guys....you may not be too fond of this surprise, for a while anyway.
ReplyDeleteHee hee - time will tell! Only another few days before the secret is out (or months, according to my recent blogging history . . . )
DeleteReading their conversations is a bit like eavesdropping, but thoroughly enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan - I am just their humble scribe . . .
DeleteLots of changes for you cats ! And two new comers ! I came back today from my holidays in the South of France, hard to return into the cold and rainy weather !
