guilt
So I am packing and otherwise organising myself for a three-night, four-day trip and I think these guys know something is up. And yes, I feel so guilty leaving them! Or is it more that I don’t want to be without them? Whatever. I know they will be fine. Peter is coming overnight to Antequera, but will go back the following night, so really the cats will only be on their own two days (one night)… and yeah, they’ll have lots of food and water and a fresh litter box. So why do I feel so guilty?? *sigh*

luna is three

My pretty Luna is three years old! I had to choose a day in June for her and, since both my birthday and Morcilla/Azar’s is on the 7th of the month, this is it. Looking for a photo of her today I realised that the prettiest of my cats actually gets less “air time” than her housemates. I think because she is less of a show-off, more self-contained. But she is also totally bonkers. Her nickname at casa az is Luna the Loon. This pic doesn’t show her amazing blue eyes, but you can see them on her birthday pics from last year. I chose this photo because it shows her looking all serene like Grace Kelly.

Happy Birthday Luna!

plastic hamperI have been reduced to this!

Los Rompetodos have been at it again and have laid waste to yet another laundry hamper, this time by climbing inside and (I think it was Morcilla) peeing all over the sheets, which soaked through the cloth. And although the last hamper was no beauty (it looked like this) it was at least made of wood and natural-white cotton. Not icky plastic. But I clearly needed something that they wouldn’t be able to either rip to shreds or get inside and this one fit the requirements. Why it even has a cat-proof “click lock” lid.

To be honest, it’s kind of barely there and – so far – the cats seem to be ignoring it. It’s always something with these guys.
