blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

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.

And to you! He has recovered now and is very excited that we celebrated the new year with new bedding (yes, we are THAT exciting here). The waffle-weave pillowslips and duvet cover may not look new for long, alas. Sadly, Satan's Own Kitty is completely adorable, so he gets away with murder. How we have managed to fulfil birth order cliches with CATS is a mystery and I fear it says nothing good about us ;-)
