Oh, kitten …

We have a lot of fireworks in Sydney at New Year, so I was determined to get the cats in before they started. Monster was sitting patiently at the door, because she is a good cat. Cookie had clearly gone over the fence, which is her new thing, following Satan's Own Kitty. However, one good shake of the kibble bag and she came home a few minutes later. No sign of Rusketus.

I shook the kibble bag again. Nothing.

I tapped on the gushy food tin. Nothing.

The first firework banged. KITTEN! Looking like this:

Yes, he is wet (and licking gushy food from his teeth). From the smell, we think he may have fallen into a fishpond rather than been hosed. He wasn't fishing, as the top of his head is the only completely dry part and his front paws were much drier than his back ones. He has required many cuddles. Shame about the slight pong.

On a less smelly note:
A very happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] hollyxu! You are such a kind soul, I hope that this year is filled with ease and people who rightly love you, and gifts! Fabulous gifts!

Happy Birthday, too, to [livejournal.com profile] aella_irene! I hope that this is a year of extremely successful writing for you, and that all the people who have unwittingly inspired you are even now organising for you to have cake, ever so much cake!

And finally, a very happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] zeitgeistic! Have a lovely 30th and may you need to move exactly 0 times this year, unless it is for scads of cash and with professional movers! MWAH! All the giftage, my friend!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO NEW ZEALAND! It's just kicked off there, and I hope that the rest of us see in the change of the Gregorian calendar with joy and peace or peace shattered only by fireworks and giggling.

Oh no, poor guy! He looks a fright.

Thank you so much! I also hope that this year is full of zero moves (but I'll take lots of cash, too!)

Happy new year!

Ahhh kittenface! I cat-sat for two different people this year so my Christmas vacation fairly abounded with cats. They're so nice to have around. :D

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! I've drifted away from blogging on lj in the past years, but I'm touched that you remembered :)

Daiso pet wipes are your friend. We still use them to wipe everyone's paws after the daily excursion.

Awwwww. But so cute and only a bit mangled. I love that picture. And cats in general. :)

*LOL*. Cats can look soooo funny when they're wet and/or frustrated and/or ashamed and/or angry.
Ours once must have fallen into a pond because she was wet, completely wet from head to toe. She looked like a rat! (she was a small cat). And when we laughed - because there was no way you could not have laughed at that picture - she got this extremely 'pissed off' look on her little face.

Happy New Year! Only just got all my electronics up and running properly after new computer purchasing. :D
