Our cat is incredibly nosey and likes small boxes – she even sleeps in them. I thought I share a few photos of her which we took a couple of weeks ago.

New layout for my blog
I decided it’s time to change the blog’s theme and layout and I hope you like it. I always wanted to incorporate Bobby’s paw into my blog’s header and thanks to this new theme I found I was able to. I am still working on my new website -hence the lack of blog entries lately. [...]

Website is still in progress
I have been very busy lately working on my new website. As my old camera couldn’t cope with taking any more product shots it was time to upgrade and get a new one, a Canon Powershot SX 20 IS. It’s a great camera – it has 20x Zoom and a macro and is the next [...]

A new cat in the hood – and he is a bit of a pain..
Our cat is a tad stressed at the moment due to an uninvited visitor. He’s a gorgeous, very skinny tabby with white paws and friendly to us, but wants to take over not only Bobby’s garden, but also her food. Understandable as he is really emaciated and obviously not that well cared for by his [...]

Our cat is full of surprises and the latest is that after 4 years with us she finally has discovered the joys of watching television. Usually she doesn’t care much about it when it’s on and often just snoozes, but for a couple of days now she is transfixed by it. She responds to [...]

Study on cat’s purr
According to a study by researchers at Essex University cats can have more than one type of purr – one that signals content and one that they use to get their owner to do what they want i.e. give them food, cuddles or open the door. The purr is very persistent, loud and apparently incorporates [...]

Getting Bobby back to a normal sleeping routine..
..is easier said than done. A few months ago our cat started to develop a sleeping or more precisely waking up pattern which clashed with ours. She would wake up at 4 and hassle us by scratching the carpet, cupboard door and anything else she could get her claws on. It’s an incredibly annoying sound [...]

When other people’s cats go missing..
It can be just as upsetting. Since Sunday last week our neighbour’s cat Elise has been missing. Now Elise was not a cat who was very friendly to humans and she liked to invade Bobby’s territory. We are also pretty sure she bullied Bobby, who is a very gentle and placid cat. But Elise was [...]

Walking Bobby article published
I’m very chuffed that my article about our walks with Bobby is finally published in German magazine Geliebte Katze. Looks great. You can read it here, if you understand German, or at least look at the photos. http://www.hkpress.co.uk/pdfs/BobbyarticleGK032.pdf

- Ukuleles August 2, 2010I am not normally a trendy person, but in March I ordered an Ohana Ukulele from Music Is Life http://www.musicislife.co.uk/ (also called the Southern Ukulele Store on Ebay) which finally arrived a few weeks ago. Ukuleles are very popular at the moment – even the Guardian has dedicated an article to a Ukulele teacher in […]helen
