At Last ...

At the beginning of December, my very special friend Harry and his brofurs, Dexter and Tipp, at Cherry City Kitties gave me a beautiful gold star - yes, one star for the Blog of the Year Award.


I am so delighted and now Mummy finally has time to help me to accept the (thoroughly undeserved, but very much appreciated) Award and to display it on my blog.

Thank you dear Harry - sorry not to have been able to post this sooner.



So, at last, I can give a star back to Cherry City Kitties and also pass one to each of the following friends - if you already have a star, please add another ...

Fui, Suey and Lishy, with a special welcome for dear little Beatrix, at Forever Foster;

Hannah and Lucy at Hannah and Lucy;

All the kitties at Katnip Lounge;

All the kitties and the woofie at Cory Cat Blog;

Texas at Texas, a Cat in New York.



I am thinking of all of you, especially my Harry, and hoping that you continue to enjoy the holiday season.

Thankful Thursday

A big thank you for all your good wishes.

Mummy and I had a lovely time on Christmas Day - lots of hugs and cuddles and plenty of treats; I helped to unwrap our presents - we did not need scissors because my claws are good paper cutters - and then I had fun with the paper and boxes!

Best of all, I had four (yes, four!) of my favourite foods during the day:  there was ham and cheese in my bowl in the morning and then some turkey appeared ... and soon disappeared! In the evening, I found a saucer of prawns waiting in one of my special places. Wasn't I spoilt?

Today, my thoughts are with all the kitties, woofies and other animals who are not so fortunate, especially those who are outside and possibly suffering in the dreadful floods which are affecting the UK.

I am so thankful to have found such a special forever home and hope that many of them will be as lucky as I have been.

Rather a Setback

Hello everyone, Rainbow reporting!

Yes, I have had a problem and I have to admit that, as Mummy has pointed out, it is partly my own fault that it has gone on for so long.

A few days after my last post, Mummy went out for a long leisurely lunch with some friends ... and returned to find me with my left flank covered in blood. She made two quick telephone calls and then I was placed gently into my PTU (I was very good and did not try to escape!) for a visit to the dreaded V-E-T.

It was not clear what the problem was so the V-E-T shaved a large patch. The skin was very inflamed where I had chewed until I drew blood but for no obvious reason so, after antibiotic and anti-inflammatory jabs, I returned home with a bald patch, some pills and one of those horrid stiff collars.

I was making steady progress and feeling much better - the bald area was still irritating but nothing that a good chew would not sort out ... Yes, you've guessed ... I decided to remove my collar ...I went to show Mummy how clever I had been, but for some reason she was NOT impressed! My other two attempts to "self-medicate" were rather more discreet but, of course, all this slowed down my recovery.

Finally, the wounds have healed; the V-E-T is pleased (so is Mummy!). Best of all, the patch is not so bald!!


 A few days ago, I received this card.





I think it was a gentle reminder that I have been neglecting my blog!

It is good to be back - I have missed you all, especially my very special friend, Harry.

Belated Happy Thanksgiving.

Hooray! Back at last!

Yes, it really is Rainbow here!

Sorry, it has been so long - once or twice, I wondered whether I would ever talk to all my furiends again - but now I have very good news to report ...

Mummy is better; she says that my nursing and all your special purrs have done the trick; both of us would like to say a big thank you for all the messages, purrs, hugs, etc.

This week, Mummy has been playing with the flashy picture-box; she says she is determined to show everyone some special photos of me but, so far,  I have not been very cooperative ... Well, would you like it if your very best hidey hole was invaded? She said I was looking so adorable that she could not resist!

Last Tuesday, a nice young man (so Mummy tells me - I kept out of sight) came to upgrade our internet service, so my paws are crossed for easier and more frequent blogging from now onwards.

Happy Caturday!

On the Road to Recovery

Hello everyone! Rainbow here, wishing you all a happy October ...

The good news is that Mummy is on the road to recovery - thank you for all the special purrs; I know they have helped her.

Today she is well enough to help me write this short post and she says that I can catch up with some comments as well!

Another piece of good news ... Our flashy picture-box is back from the camera vet so there might be some photographs soon ...

Now, I must snuggle up with Mummy and make sure she does not get too tired - she says I am a good nurse. Isn't that kind of her?
