6.3 miles

Yesterday we walked 6.3 miles!! Princess did lots better than me. She much preferred it than the beach

This was Prinny last time we were at the beach

The kittens all piled up last night
We've also made the decision to get a new addition to our family when breeding season is finished!! Looking at breeders at the moment.... Watch This Space! Yay

Kitten Fairy Arrived!!

Yesterday afternoon we had some new arrivals!! Tinky had 5 little ones, 3 boys and 2 girls, 2 reds and 3 creams! We are thrilled to bits! One of our red boys is a little on the small side and a bit weak but we are keeping our fingers crossed!

An Unpleasant Experience

Wow, 5 days since my last post!!

Just so you know, my latest obsession is English Bulldogs - I want one, just need Kevin to realise he does!

Well we had peeps over to visit our kittens at the weekend! A lovely lady called Sharon has decided she'd like to take Gandalf and Donut, just waiting to hear now what their new names are.

We spent Saturday in Whitby and I walked up 199 steps yippee and Sunday we went to the beach once our visitors had gone home.

Saturday night I had a most unpleasant experience, some bozo thought he could pick Princess up to about knee level and drop her down! The worst of it was she was on the lead and at the other end was my 6yr old god-daughter! A very volatile screeching at him followed to say the least, he definately had his tail between his legs that night!!

Making My Own Raw!

I have decided to start grinding my own raw food for the cats plus chihuahua!!

I knew when I embarked on this raw feeding malarky this day would come. YAY!

Prinny to be fair is on whole prey but she still needs more variety to her diet, she will only eat chicken wings and chicken legs, she refused oxtail which I was disappointed about

After reading Canine Mafioso's post this morning it has spurred me on!

So roll on Payday at the end of the month when I buy my new meat grinder and at the moment I think I am going with

I know just need to decide what combinations I am going to mix up! I think I am going to go with

Salmon and chicken

Trout and Turkey

Chicken and Chicken Liver

Turkey

Turkey and Chicken Livers

I am big on taurine but my cats will get that once a week. My head is buzzing with possible combinations

I am also giving mine tinned fish in the form of either pilchards, mackeral or sardine in tomato sauce or brine but they get this on a Friday (Fish Friday) this will not be mixed in with the mince.

Hopefully they will all start eating chicken wings whole which will be a lot easier I will still need the meat grinder though for kittens as they will be weaned onto mince.

Lazy Sunday

Prinny hasn't had a walk since Friday.... but we are taking her tonight promise

We did get the blinds up tho! With the help of the parents!

And the kittens have done little else but chill... with a bit of poop and food thrown in

Blessing Our Taste Buds

Yes Yes Yes I can eat something on this god awful diet!! Cambridge have a mix a mousse option

So far I have tried the butterscotch shake as a mousse and it was yummy but the fruits of the forest one is definately better as a shake

Gandalf is also getting the hang of this eating malarky too raw chicken mince and pilchards in brine for tea for everyone! I find the kittens eat more when there is a bit of fish involved, every Friday in this house is Fish Friday for the cats! They have any of the following, mackeral, sardines or pilchards in either tomato sauce or brine

They actually managed to eat some food while mum was busy eating hers

And finally I thought I'd include Chaz (Kevs mum and dads cockatiel) in todays blog we are looking after him while they are away and Kev finally cleaned him out today hehe He's a cute little guy

The Fat Man

Just because I think he's cool

A Week Of No Sleep

Has taken its toll! Spent most of this afternoon crying into my coffee..... it was a welcome change to walk into the big fat fuzzballs screaming for dinner, they are all so supportive

Raw chicken and chicken wings were on the menu and oxtail for Prinny who rebuffed this meal worthy of kings table so I had to give her some chicken mince lest she starve!

Spoilt little madam!

We had a brilliant walk up the woods though I am soooo glad I kicked the evil weed I'd of never been able to walk that far before and its all good as it contribute to the weightloss! I lost 8lbs in my first week on the Cambridge here's to another 8lbs next week.

We've started cutting back the time MK spends with the kittens, this is for a variety of reasons...

a) they need to start becoming properly weaned

b) we don't want her to turn them into the devils spawn and evil lifestyle she embraces

c) I can't think of anymore at the moment but when I decided this we had a ton of good reasons!

Gandalf took the emancipation quite well

Tinkerbell is getting bigger by the moment, not long now till the 14th and her expected due date!!
I am sooooo annoyed with Holland and Barratt and am never and I MEAN NEVER ordering from them again! They still haven't delivered my order of raspberry tea leaf capsule to prepare Tinks womb so she can shell her little kittens like peas! Trust me it works!

Oprah is also back from the Heathrose Cattery after her roll in the hay with their lovely boy, fingers crossed she "pinks up" in the next few weeks!

Carbs Are The Root Of All Evil

I am now on day 6 of the Cambridge Diet... it hasn't been plain sailing due to the copious amounts of parmesan that flung themselves down my neck not to mention the boiled eggs and mayonaisse I swear appeared out of nowhere!!
Weigh in tomorrow I am not holding out much hope... we can only wait and see! Marathon beach walk tonight with Prinny and Kev and possibly my friend SJ! Really putting myself into it!
28lbs to go before the 9th of July for IVF approval!
For those of you who aren't too sure what a parmesan is its a North East of England take out delicacy! Its street name is "PARMO" and its obligatory after a night on the tiles! Not that I'd been on the tiles
It also comes with chips (which I did not eat) Salad and a vast amount of garlic sauce

Beachy Bliss!

Spent 2 whole days at the beach.

Highlights were giving Prinny her first swimming lesson - it was sink or swim time and quite frankly it was a bit of both
Lows were Kevin taking me "the easy" way back to the car! After whinging crying and complaining all the way (that was Prinny not me ;-) ) I have decided to do it again tonight or tomorrow night! Ha!
