Easy Sunday - Mother's Day

Hello everyone, Rainbow here ...

Today we have been having an easy Sunday and I have been snuggling up with Mummy and giving her lots of special purrs for Mother's Day.

So, what has been happening?

Mummy calls it winter hibernation and it is true that while it is really cold I like to keep warm and cosy by curling up into a tight little ball. I burrow into a comfy blanket in a dark corner - rather like a tortoise, Mummy says!

The truth is that Mummy has been very busy; I keep looking at the computer to see whether I can find out what is happening to my furiends and hoping to update my blog but my wistful stares have gone unnoticed!

I have not been neglected - there have been plenty of hugs and cuddles and lots of special treats - it's just that I haven't been able to talk to my furiends and I have been missing you all so much.

But now I have GOOD NEWS - Mummy has PROMISED to spend more time helping me with my blog.

Happy Mother's Day, Mummy, you are the best!

Purrs ... Rainbow.

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.

Purrs ... Rainbow

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.

Purrs ... Rainbow.
