Searching the purrfect box


ZORRO : Pixie, what are you doing in the attic ?
PIXIE : You see, I’m looking for a box…
ZORRO : Why ?
PIXIE : I’m looking for a box, for the perfect box, not too big, not too small, not too high, not too low, to send our package for Secret Paws.
ZORRO : But… We’re not even in December !
PIXIE : I know, but our present leaves for America ! We need to send it tomorrow !

The preparations are accelerating here : with friends and family all around the world, Claire and us should rather be organized. If we want that our cards and our presents arrive in time,we have to meet the deadlines of the Swiss post (priority mail) : parcel off Europe November 30th, letters off Europe December 7th, letters for Europe December 14th, letters for Switzerland December 21st.

PIXIE : Then Zorro… Help me rather search !

What a mess !

Claire caught a cold on Friday and was already grumbling in the awakening on Saturday. Pixie had emptied a good quantity of litter on the stone floor of the bathroom by scratching in her box (as usual), and this is when the toilets flush decided to flow continuously. Momo had a look, he saw that he couldn’t do anything, and thus called the plumber to repair all this. The plumber told him that he would come in the afternoon.

With the soft noise of waterfall coming from the toilets, Claire began to make small Christmas cakes which she offers as a present : in the middle of the preparation, between the first one and the second bakery, paf ! Here is the food processor that begins to smoke and to smell like burning ! Our human had no choice : she had to leave quick buying an other one. Christmas cakes are going to be expensive this year !

On Caturday, it’s also household day at our home : Claire made everything in the morning while the first series of cakes cooked, except mopping, which was planned in the afternoon after the visit of the plumber. At 4 pm, the plumber was still not there. At 5 pm either. He arrived at 6 pm : is it still the afternoon ?

After this day, Claire would have appreciated a little rest. She didn’t count with her blocked nose that spoiled her the night from Saturday till Sunday, letting her sleep only 3 hours.

After the adventures of Caturday, Sunday, rainy and cold, was much more quiet for everybody…

Reminder : last call for the Holiday Card Exchange of the Cat Blogosphere !

Meeting with a monster


ZORRO : during my last expedition in the jungle, I came face to face with a terrifying creature : an anaconda !

Relying only on my courage, I faced him. After a relentless fight, I emerged victorious out of this meeting, and I proudly brought back my trophy to Momo. This latter was so happy that he shouted loudly for joy.

PIXIE : here is the true story : during one of his trip in the garden, Zorro met a small 30-35 cm grass-snake. He captured him and brought him half dead to Momo. You need to know that Momo hates snakes, and in my opinion, the shouts he made were everything but shouts of joy !

Momo bravely armed himself with a fly swatter and knocked out the snake (who had already died). He then threw it out the window, always by means of the fly swatter. The poor reptile landed on the path.

Shortly after, when Claire arrived, Momo waited for her to indicate her that a “monster” was lying on the path. Claire horrified him by taking the snake in the hand to put him in the grass.

Poor Momo, what emotions !
