Last week it was my Mum's birthday, and yes, she is very old now! Her Mum sent her this card.
I don't know if she thought it looked a bit like me, as it does look a bit ginger. I think it's cos it's a cute cat that she thought of me, not cos it's a fat cat like me.
Now, where can I get some fishes like these ones.

The lovely kitty Lola Fannola over at The Paw Relations very kindly gave me this Happy Cat Award.
And quite rightly cos I am a Happy Cat. Now, I have to tell you 5 things that I like, and then pass the award along to some of my friends. So, I like
1. Sleeping. Sleeping anywhere. On the bed, on the sofa, on the floor. Anywhere.
2. Cuddling up in bed at night with my Mum.
3. Guarding the garden from Introoders
4. Yoghurt - yes, I know, but I like it, OK?
5. My pile of catnip mousies.
6. All my kitty blogging friends.
I know that's 6 things, but I got carried away. I hereby pass this award along to the following kitty bloggers.
1. Rumblebum
2. Poppy Q
4. Cat Mandu
Of course, no-one has to play if they don't want to.

At the weekends, it's important to spend some snoopervising things out in the garden, and I've got just the spot for that.
From here, I can keep an eye on everything. See the fence. That's keeping the vegetables safe from the other neighbourhood kitties. Of course, I don't go in there!!!
A cat's got to keep an eye on these things.

Friday is a good day to spend some time in the garden. Here I am taking it easy.
The grass is looking nice and green now, you can tell I've been looking after it. Dad says you've got to let it grow a bit before you cut is again.
Totally unrelated, Mum & Dad went to where they are going to keep the boat thing. She didn't take many photos, but this is one of the boats they saw.
It's a bit of a funny looking thing, too much on the top apparently. I'm a bit worried about the boat thing.

Yup, I'm still asleep!
Actually, I'm not really asleep. I'm just pretending.

When a cat's got a garden, it's a full time job keeping an eye on things and checking everything is OK. Here I am, making sure everything is as it should be.

I wasn't feeling very co-operative today. To much of having that flashy box thing pointed at me.
One minute I'm lying on the mat minding my own business. Then the flashy box thing comes out, and I'm off.
A cat just can't get any peace.
I did stick my tongue out at Mum, but she doesn't take any notice.

Sparta is one cute cat. Not too sure about his owner though.
He's even got his own YouTube Channel - The Mean Kitty.
Nothing much else to do today, apart from hide from the hoover. So time to head for the garden, for some serious stretching and rolling.
First one way
Then the other.
There's nothing like sunbeams on your tummy!

Time for some cartoon kitty antics.
Made my Mum laugh anyway. You can see all the videos at www.simonscat.com.
There are new kitties in town! Go on over to http://tubshtecat.blogspot.com/ and say Hi to the new kitties.
Many of you have kindly left comments on how nice and fluffy my tummy is. So, for all you tummy fans out there, here is some more ginger tummyness.
The best way to show off your tummy is with a good stretch...
then leg up...
and stretch. It's a ginger tummy workout.

Now, I know that I sleep in their bed, but it doesn't mean they can sleep in mine. Dad decided to make a takeover bid for my cushion. I wasn't very happy about it!
He'd be too big for it anyway!

Some days, it's difficult to decide whether to stay in or go out.
So I'll just sit here for a bit, chew my mousie and think about it for a while.

Mum's been having some trouble with her photo uploading, so she's been testing it out with a rather splendid photo of me.
So, Mum got her new computer, and spent all day trying to set it up. I snoopervised from a safe distance. This is a test post, to see if she's done it right!
I'm a big fat ginger worried about my blog cat!
I was guarding the shoes, honest, but it was so nice and warm, I thought I’d just close my eyes and turn up my paws for a few minutes.
So, it seems that now I’ve got a Twitter Feed. Mum says it’s so I can Tweet. I’m not sure what she means. I’m a cat, so I purr, and meow. I know I definitely don’t tweet. But hey, apparently tweeting is a big thing nowadays and you can follow me, and tweet back, if you want to. She’ll be putting me on Facebook next.
Unfortunately, I had to have the user name BigFatBoatCat, cos anything related to my blog title had already gone. I quite like it though.
It seems I’ve also got an iPhone, so I can tweet on the move.

Now in our house, we all sleep together in the big bed. Well, I sleep on the sofa, and on my cushion as well, and Dad does his fair share of sofa-napping also. But at bedtimes, we have a routine. Mum usually goes up first, and if I’m not up and complaining about it being time to go to bed, she gives me a little head rub on the way past, just so I knows.
I then follow her up, she gets in one side, and I get on the other. Then Dad comes up, and he has to get in on the side where he can. I’ll lay there for a bit in the middle, but I normally sleep at the bottom, in between Mum’s feet, so as I don’t get squashed in the night.
Last night though, I was so tired, even though Mum told me it was bedtime, I went back to sleep on my cushion. They went to bed, and waited, and waited, and waited. In the end Dad got up again and came down and got me.
He said “Honestly Puss, I can’t get any sleep with you on the bed” (because apparently I’m always in the way – as you can see I do take up rather a lot of room - and I purr too loudly), “but I can’t get any sleep with you not on the bed either!”. I think he was worried about me. Bless!
Now, I know it doesn't look like it, but I am guarding the door.
I might look cute and cuddly, but rest assured, that's just a disguise.

Thanks to everyone who left comments about my not losing any weight. I think the real problem is that I’d rather be sleeping on the bed than running about exercising. Sometimes I don’t even eat all the food Mum weighs out for me!
And Whicky, about the poo thing. I hadn’t thought about that, and I poo a lot, so that would make a big difference. The V-E-T did say that they should weigh me once a month, so maybe after the first fortnight is being a bit previous..
Mum has duly noted the comments about the food, but I really don’t like wet food. Give me the dried stuff any day, and I’ll snaffle that down as quick as looking at it. Mum bought me a tin of Tesco’s Finest Catsucculent Flakes of Tuna the other week, before I was on the diet.
Not a very good picture I know, but blame the Tesco Website. I liked the smell of it, and got quite excited once she put it into my bowl. I didn’t actually eat any of the tuna, but I gave the jelly a good licking!
I don’t really think I am overweight, and neither does Dad. I’ve always been a big ginger mancat! Mum is a bit worried though, as she knows overweight kitties can have problems. I’m just gonna tell her to stop worrying, and it’s back to bed for me!!
I’m a big fat ginger not worried about being on a diet cat!
You may remember when I was catnipped to the V-E-T’s, and the V-E-T said I was too fat and needed to lose some weight? Well, this weekend, we had the big weigh in.
2 weeks ago, I was 8.1 kg. I’ve been very good and haven’t cheated. Mum has been carefully weighing out my food each morning, even though it takes a lot longer and I have to complain greatly to speed things up.
So after all that, how come that I now weigh 8.2 kg, heavier than when we started. I need to have a lie down to think about that.
I’m a big fat ginger heavier than when I started cat!
I’ve been really busy today, in the garden, snoopervising the construction of a new house-cum-scratch post that Dad’s building for me. Here’s my old one. As you can see, it’s looking pretty ropy. Dad had to add some supports on the bottom, cos I kept pulling it over.
Anyway, this snoopervising is hard work, so I need a bit of a lay down.
Here I am snoopervising the glue drying.
