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.

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 [...]

Bobby loves television
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 [...]

A Catty Christmas
I’m back from home in Cologne, where I spent Christmas with my dad and my sister and Dusty the Norwegian Forest who was originally my mum’s cat. She’s is the most adorable pretty cat. And she’s very different from Bobby – Dusty is an excellent hunter. She brings in mice, much to my [...]

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 [...]

Sad news from our neighbour …and a new cat in town
A while ago I posted about our neighbour’s cat Elise who has gone missing. I recently met my neighbour and she told me that she found out that Elise got run over. It’s very upsetting because it took the vet three days to finally contact her. She was able to collect, cremate and bury her. It’s [...]

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

A friend for Bobby?
A few weeks ago I have written about a little black and white cat, which ended up in our living room (How Bobby changed her colours). Yesterday evening I finally met this cat. She is very pretty, small and can’t be older than a year. She has white socks and belly and a black head [...]

How Bobby changed her colours!
Our cat has taken to wake us extremely early, which is quite exhausting and annoying. We try to make sure we entertain her enough, but if we don’t play with her in the evening she just snoozes and is bright as a button at about 4.40 a.m.! Even the birds think she is mad and [...]

- New layout for my blog September 6, 2010I 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.

- 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
