It's going well. The introduction of Riff to the outside world.Every day I carry her out to the courtyard and walk her around. The first few times she struggled and squirmed and cried. But now she totally engages with the outside world. She sniffs at the springtime air, feels the sun on her body and swats at...See More »
Animals can lie. Oh yes they can.I saw a doco on YouTube featuring a lowland gorilla who could use sign language quite fluently. She was caught on CCTV stealing a wooden rod from her toy basket and using it to jemmy open a window. When she was asked, "Did you open the window?" she...See More »
Please be quiet. Please.My neighbour is singing at the top of her lungs. I have a large headache. Please. Be. Quiet. At what point do I bring attention?
Just had my blood taken.My four year old nephew wanted to watch. He's curious about such things. He saw Riff's belly sutures come out no worries, he's constantly asking about the human body and the insides of it. He took one look at the needle go in and changed his mind....See More »
I'm binge watching Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix with the cats.They both love the TV. Anyone else a fan of UMB? Or watching TV with the pets?
Read no further if you're not into a tale of Riff the kitten.She's just encountered her first fly. She's wide eyed and completely enthralled, intent on catching this new creature. She has no patience, kittens rarely do, and is leaping wholeheartedly at least a foot in the air trying to bag herself an insect. I...See More »
YES THIS IS ANOTHER GODDAMNED POST ABOUT RIFF.She's dragging her toys one at a time onto the rug in the living room. And she can't pick which one to play with, she looks slightly confused. What's your animal's favourite thing to play with?
When I'm goneI don't want to just be remembered for my rack. I have great legs, too. And when all is said and done, I ask to be remembered by two, simple words. Any two, as long as they're simple.
Trent Reznor (lead singer of Nine Inch Nails ) bought at auction the door from Sharon Tate's house;the door that has "PIG" written on it in her blood. I know Manson souvenirs are highly collectible but that kind of rubs me the wrong way.
My grandmother was a doctor on Kangaroo Island.A small island in Australia. She came to know the locals pretty well. There was a particular shearer who thought that kerosene was a cure all. (I've mentioned that in response to a question. ) He came into her practice complaining of a sore foot....See More »
I'm just home from having an ECG and it's Riff's feeding time.She's not on the couch. She's not in her cave bed. She's not in the spare room. But there's a perfectly made bed with a kitten sized lump in the middle. She wriggled under the covers and had a nap. It was hilarious watching her navigate her way...See More »
Lately I've been woken up in the wee hoursby the unsheathed claw of Riff the kitten. It's not a hard scratch but enough to wake me up. She's got bizarre feeding times that I'm trying to correct. Her belly alarm goes off at 4am, and she begins the scratching, wanting food. I've tried feeding...See More »
Riff is exceptional at "asking ".She's just trotted into the living room with the fishing stick (favourite toy/game I play with her) in her mouth. This I cannot ignore. Let the play session commence! What's your animals favourite toy or game?
Life is often good. Just found out thatthe two terrors that live next door and harass me and my cats are moving out. No more banging on the window to try and awaken the sleeping cats, no more peering through my front screen door and most of all no more top volume games outside my door!...See More »
If I had a hat it would be tipped at lighteningblue.His (?) memes and general hilarity make my day. Here's to ya, Blue.
Bizarre.I was collecting my mail today and found an envelope marked "Love Letter", written by hand. Upon opening, I discovered it was a collection of Psalms, in particular 139:1 and 139:3. And snippets all pertaining to me confessing my sins. It had no...See More »
For those of you with Netflix:I have a film that (if you're a horror fan) you'll love. It's called The Third Eye. No spoilers, watch the trailer, in my opinion watch the film!!
Nearly lost Riff.I'm trying to introduce her to the outside world. I carry her in my arms and walk her around the courtyard. She wriggles and squirms and breathes heavily, whimpers and cries. Not in excitement or joy. To go back inside. This evening she damn near...See More »
I need to give Riff more love.Yesterday was a particularly bad day for Riff. She'd been getting aggro from all sides from Smudge, she was hissed at, swiped at, growled at and just generally abused. She joined me on the sofa while Smudge was eating and buried her head in my leg....See More »
