Best news of the year 2013…. in a row

best yearHi (Furry)friends,

Lately we’ve got some wonderful news.

It was about the straycat-problem in the Netherlands.

You see, when in Holland the population

of strays or geese or other animals

is too big,

they like to shoot them,

in large numbers

and think the problem has been solved…

IMG_1142

The government allowed to shoot

from 8,000 untill 13,500 straycats

every year!!

Can you believe that?

The worst of the story is,

when you’re an outside housecat,

or an in- and outcat,

or…

well, you know what I mean…

The hunters don’t think:

“Oh, that’s Little Binky from next door…”

no, they just shoot…

like a hobby…

What? Okay Granny..

no, not to long

I’ll come to the point right now.

best news2

To make a long story short…

137,123 people,

us included,

signed a petition against the killing

and WE WON..

NO KILLING MORE ALLOWED..

YES!!

We can all walk freely again…PHEW…

and the surplus of strays

get help

accordance the TrapNeuterReturn system…

….that other organizations  are already use

for ages!…

best news1

And we’ve got a ‘Thank You’ letter

with a saddle cover for the bike… 🙂

Have you seen the ears..

Granny, I don’t know what people

are thinking, when they see that ears

coming from under your buttocks…MOL 😀

Spiky furryfriends…MOUSES!!

CAM01587Granny, did you hear that?

CAM01795

I have to find out what it is…

CAM01796

No, it’s not here, Granny…

CAM01797

Where did it come from?…

IMG_1058

maybe from over there…

CAM02136

What’s this???

CAM02137

MOUSES!!..what a mess!…

CAM02124

Who did ruin Angel’s Place

CAM02125

Granny I think I found the raskal…

CAM02128

It’s Herman my Spiky friend…

What? It’s not??….

Oh, I see…

This one is much smaller than Herman

and it’s a she…

CAM02129

This is Hermaline than…

CAM02130

She’s a little baby hedgehog,

who probably lost her mom,

CAM02131

and she isn’t able to get into wintersleep yet…

CAM02132

because she’s as light as a feather,

so Granny’s taking care of her now..

CAM02127

by giving her a roof over the head…

CAM02126

and lots of food…

MY FOOD!..MOUSES!!…

???????????????

Granny, is there a slight possiblility,

maybe in the future,

that I DON’T have to share my food anymore?

Anyway…

we hope the little Spiky-girl will survive winter,

we do whatever we can….

and yours truly will watch over her food,

and letting no Strangers nearby.

Afb390

Well, enough about Spiky Hermaline…

It’s Awarding time…YES!

MOUSES! award

My furry-friend Texas

has nominated us for the MOUSES award…MOUSES!!

and we’re very proud to receive this award,

so THANK YOU SO MUCH Texas

for this special one.

The rules for the MOUSES! Award are:

1. Thank the Blogger who gave it to you.– Done!

2. Post the Award on your blog.-will do!

3.  When you accept the Award, you have to use the word MOUSES! in a sentence.

For this requirement, you may also choose to use one of the many variations of MOUSES!

if you so desire. You know… like… mousin’, mouses, moused-up, etc…

CAM01721

I already used that word a few times in this post,

but I may come up with a sentence later…

please be patient…

we’re still not ready.

4. Finally, you need to pass the MOUSES! Award on to two or more bloggers.

You can pass it along to as many as you like,

but please try for at least two so that the award is spread

around the blogosphere and doesn’ fizzle out or anything.

And you’ll wanna pass the award on to bloggers

whose work you read regularly

and would therefore,

sure as mouses recommend.

See what I did there?

Yup, you spotted it.

I used a derivation of MOUSES! in a sentence.

Lead by example, I say. Lead my example…

mouses0

My nominations go to my feline friends:

Timmy of Tomcat Commentary by Tim

Dinnermintz and Fozziemum

The Island Cats

Selina of One eye on the future

I hope you’ll accept the nomination,

and spread the MOUSES-award,

but most of all

have MOUSES of fun

in this MOUSELY atmosphere.

Mouses

MOUSES! am I sleepy now,

I have to close my eyes for a minute

before I bring more Awards…

in my next post….

MOUSES what a job!

Gifts

Binky bewerktHiya (Furry)friends,

When Granny and Grandpa are away for a day

or longer…

they always bring me something

from another place,

town or land.

CAM02083

This time they brought me

a lot of photos from other animals…

…I don’t know how they could even think

that I was waiting for that…

and another little sculpture

that you can hang on the wall.

CAM02094

I have to admit that this cat is really nice made…

This cat has bue eyes,

that protect you from evil.

Turkish people call them Nazar Boncugu,

the blue eyed charm.

They put and hang this charm everywhere,

in front of the shops..

boze oog1

nearby a Furrball…

bewerkt boze oog1

and on the Furrbal’s neck…

sorry, but we don’t have proof on that..

in fact the eyes are everywhere..

binky berwerkt1

…and we have the Protective Powers

of the blue eyes everywhere

in our house now too…

No, it has nothing to do with Granny’s blue eyes…

nor with mine…

green eyes

but Granny likes all that kitsch stuff,

and it wasn’t the first time they have been in Turkey,

so we have already a little collection

of eyes.

We also have an amulet in the car,

hanging on the mirror,

and the window was almost broken of it,

because it dangled hard against it while driving …

..talking about powers 😉 …

CAM02088

Now I have to thank a few friends,

because I’ve got another gift.

My friend Texas nominated me for the

dragonsloyaltyaward1 (1)

and we want to thank him for this Special Award.

It really means a lot to us, so thank you so much my Friend.

We already have te Loyalty Award,

so if you want to see the post

..

A new friend of us, Ute Smile,

nominated us for two Awards

liebster-award

CLICK HERE for the corresponding post

and CLICK HERE for the

shineon

Post.

Thank you for spoiling me so much, Ute.

Very appreciated.

Hop over to Texas’ and Ute’s blog to get to know them,

they’re both very special to us.

CAM02089

I have to make another announcement.

Those who also know me on Facebook,

maybe have already noticed

that I’m not longer part of it.

Granny tried both, Twitter and Facebook,

for almost a year,

but she says it’s to much

on her head.

It makes her restless

and nervous…

so she decided

to quit Facebook…

Twitter already was out of sight…

and now Granny is back in her Zen

and I get more quality time.

Well, dear ones…

this was an extremely long post…again,

so it’s time to take a few hours off

and close my eyes.

The moving watering-can and a lot of surprises

CAM01525

Hi (Furry)friends

CAM01524

It has been a busy week

for Granny…

and me.

Granny was baby cat-sitting

CAM01511

while I was guarding the garden.

There were a few intruders..

the usual clan

CAM01510

but not worth mentioning…

CAM01509

except of one intruder

the other day.

CAM01507

Granny just arrived from cat-sitting

and she sat down..

with me in the garden…

and while she was cuddling me,

we both heard BANG….

CAM01499

We both looked around,

but couldn’t find where it was coming from.

CAM01500

BANG..there it was again..

CAM01501

I went up on the window-still,

to hear if it was coming from somewhere above…

CAM01502

BANG…. again,

and that something now got my attention…

CAM01503

I saw something moving in the watering-can..

IMG_0649

and Granny saw the can moving,

while the BANGs now followed very quickly…

in succession…

IMG_0650

Then I heard a scream…

and I saw a run inside of the house..

That was Granny…MOL…

and then I could see in the can

why Granny went inside…

kikker

thanks to 123rf.com

This little frog was lost

in the watering-can..

I’m not sure if I was chasing him earlier….

so that he was ending up in the can…

CAM01526

Anyway…
CAM01527

I couldn’t get him out of that can…

CAM01534

so I had to call for Grandpa…

CAM01529

and he came and set the frog free,..

far away from me…

and Granny!

IMG_1111

We were lucky that Grandpa was home,

so he could set the frog free…

Did you know that they scream,

when they see me…

well, that’s another story…

Now let me see what’s next..

IMG_1117

Yeah, this is nice…

We’ve been nominated for the

shineon1

Award again by our new friend

White Pearl

Thank you White Pearl,

this means a lot to us.

If you don’t know my new friend,

just hop over and see her beautiful writings

about Food, People, Love and Stuff 🙂

IMG_1116

We like to give this award to another

friend,

Laliluce of Sei gatti potessero parlare

who translated my last post

in Italian…

isn’t that molto bene….

I have to learn Italian now

to make my entrance in Italy 🙂

Thank you again, Laliluce,

for this kind gesture 🙂

IMG_1114

Last but not least

I have another impawtant announcement to make.

CAM01532

Long post again…

I have to close my eyes for a little bit now,

it was a long day.

See you later!!

Sleepy Pawkisses 🙂

Family games

CAM01427

Hi (Furry)friends,

The weather has cooled of

and it’s raining…

so we have to do something other,

than panting and puffing because of the heat.

CAM01429

I thought it was a good idea

to play Cat-opoly…

CAM01428

….This is the Dutch version of it,

that’s why it’s written Kat-opoly…

but it is far more fun

than Monopoly.

CAM01432

It’s not only funny,

but it’s educational to..

you’ll learn all different kinds

of cat breeds…

CAM01433

Let’s read the manual…

CAM01435

You have to pay for your fleas..okay…

You can fall into the water, or learn to swim

and dry up in jail…

CAM01424

and ..last but not least…

you can get catnip when you’re lucky…

Sounds good, huh?

There’s only one problem…

CAM01438

You have to play it

with Family…

P1030843

and that reminds me,

that we were awarded again

for the  WordPress Family Award

by our friends at Fozziemum‘s.

wordpress-family-award

That means that our family is getting bigger…

and bigger…

so we all can play Cat-opoly

TOGETHER.

But first I want to thank Fozziemum and clan

for this lovely gesture,

of making us a part of their family too.

Triple Pawkisses for you guys 🙂

CAM01439

Please Furries and furriends

do you want to play

Cat-opoly with me???

….

Has anyone seen my mouse pawn??

CAM01437

Have a wonderful week.

PAWKISSES 🙂
