A bit of sunshine today but it didn’t last. At least it’s not raining yet and every break gives the soil a chance to dry up a bit.

A lot of the cats making the most of the dry weather in their patios. Here are some of them,

Cats featured today: Allie, Bella and Titan, Bubbles, Rosco and Spooky, Gidget, Gomez and Tisha, Lilly, Max, Meggs, Ming, Pax, Pepe, Ruby, Alfie and Oscar.

We loved this 1903 video of a couple of children playing with cats. Via the fabulous site The Retronaut.

The weather deteriorated again on Friday after a dry Australia Day. Rained very hard creating all sort of problems on the roads. All fine at the cattery, just very wet. Now mid-morning it seems to have calmed down a bit. Patios are open for a change.

Here are some of our guests (a bit bored due to the weather).

Allie doesn't mind the rain (has to be towel dried)

The Perfect Cat

templetons — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:23:14 +0000

Cats featured today: Allie, Bella and Titan, Cleo, Gidget, Gomez and Tisha, Max, Ming and Thomas.

We liked these photos of The Perfect Cat, it’s a fantasy of course. There is no such thing as a perfect cat! Via ChillHour.

Dreary, boring rain since last Sunday. We had to actually close the patios all day in the last two days because it was too wet. Pax and Gomez don’t seem to mind the rain and had to be towel dried a few times until we decided to close. All cats bored have taken to their beds. Some individual running sessions in the corridor and office, but it’s not the same as being able to be out. The BOM forecast says another few days of this, we all hope they’re wrong.

Here’s a map of a bed according to cats. Very clever and totally right!

Very pleased to see the sun shining this morning even if it’s for a short time, bad weather was announced for the rest of the week but maybe it won’t happen. We caught up with all the cat furniture and washing in general. The cats happier to feel that they can go out and sit in the sun for a change.
