Lizzy trying hard but somehow lacking that killer look ................ 

Here I am letting Chris use me as a model , note the lion like expression I am working on. Cool, steely , aloof, a tensely coiled spring , ready to react in a micro second ....... yes

How I spent my easter Monday on the new blanket mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm so tired I could really use a nap............. 

Good afternoon , let me introduce myself I'm Sandicat from Inglewood , Taranaki, New Zealand .
I'll be joining the team at Cat Network News and reporting periodically from Inglewood .
I'm nine years old and am a rescue cat from the local vet .
I have, on a whim just recently decided not to savage strangers or even not so strangers .
I let Chris pat me over the weekend , he must have forgotten our last "encounter" , owwwwwwwwww I wanted to rip his arm off but I thought, we'll let it go this time .
And Hey what do you know I get a pencil and I'm a reporter, I see the possibilities now , why did somebody not explain this sooner ?
I must discuss obvious gaps in my early instructions with the other cat in the house , Leo, he's a lot bigger than me, has a lead and gets to go in the car. Apparently, well according to him he's a Golden Retriever Cat .

Off on a mission .................. 

Lizzy "chill'n " with a friend  

Here is a demonstration of my "backing" technique, note looking where I am going and at least three paws on the tree at all times  

Nothing like ripping up a tree to celebrate ones birthday  

You don't expect me to drink out of my "official" bowl do you ?

WHAT you want me to share ? YOU CAN"T BE SERIOUS . 

Me with the birthday haul, its mine mine mine .................. 

So Ok I was in the bookcase looking at Grandads rabbit, is that a crime ? 

This is me making the bed on my birthday 

Bob and Lizzy are 1

. .

Hi Bob here for the birthday channel, well things are going well on our birthday with catches of two mice and something unspeakable delivered to the bed room at 1.30 am , 2.30 am and 3.45 am . It's really hot so we assumed nobody really wanted to sleep anyway .

Breakfast consisted of our beloved "Kitten" biscuit's , hey so what if the protein level will explode our livers that's only a rumor put about by those tree hugging free range greenies .

Looking forward to a day relaxing

Bob
(Happy birthday to me)

Bob continues the countdown

Only 200 cat naps to go, only two hundred cat naps to go , hurah

Bob counts down to the big day

Hi Bob here after a bit of a break.

Well the big news is , yes I got Chris to double check my vet book and me and Lizzy are one on Friday , that's only 300 sleeps by my reckoning wha hooooooooo.
Here is my birthday wish list (so far)

1. wake up on bed after long sleep
2. breakfast of pan-fried bunny in a white wine sauce
3. read the newspaper for five seconds then shred it
4. rip up the end of the best chair in the lounge without the customary "hey YOU" (Like I care ?)
5. open presents , hint for Chris I REALLY LIKE those cat treats A LOT, also I hear you can get mice from the pet shop, we have eaten all the locally available ones .
6. Snooze for 6 hours
7. wake up, eat 1kg of cat treats (PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU) try not to vomit
8. Snooze again
9. Dinner fish from you know where , still wriggling (my revenge for the "Boxing Day incident")
10. fast asleep till middle of night when I will crash loudly through cat door on way to a nice little night ramble

This is Bob Signing out from the Birthday channel

Lizzy and I work on a movie....

Bob talks about the movie industry and the Christmas holidays

Good afternoon.
Bob here for Cat Network News returning after taking a short vacation to assist Chris with the production of his movie epic "From there to here, do you feel any different ...well not really" a long title , I tried to talk him out of it but , well you can only do so much!
A movie made for two friends who are turning "X" in January where X is a large number , apparently if I say what it is I get no pats for a month .
Anyway Chris has been hunched over his computer for weeks agonising over the production but we have had the box seat right from the beginning from our "front of house" on-top-of-the-printer position. We are even in the credits. (see above)

In between shooting and editing we have been very busy with "bunny and mouse patrol" and have been bringing a lot of them into the house , five of the bunnies have disappeared immediately and apparently reappeared up the hill with the neighbours kids . But they make such a snack .....although apparently not under the bed at 2am.

The weather here has not been brilliant, its been raining a lot so people have often been available for long stretches of lap sleeping rather than disappearing off in the car for hours on end. We just don't get this obsession with fine weather ?

Lizzy pulled a master stroke and had Uncle Jim photo copy the head cold he brought back from the USA and give it to Chris and so far he has not been able to go back to work but has been in bed a lot for cuddles although there is something strangely wrong with his voice at the moment.


This is Bob for Cat Network News

We are having our summer holiday , if only it would stop raining . Here is Lizzy hard-out holidaying on the printer..........
