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

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
