Outside!

I don't even really know what's happened this week, I went to Nottingham at the weekend to see Paul, we played guitar hero and realised how bad I was at the drums on it, it's actually ridiculous haha. We went to Nando's, I wasn't that impressed, expected so much more, I made up for it after though, I had a can of squirty cream and some strawberries, planned on having cornish icecream too but it tasted weird so I left that, probably a good job really. Jessie and James have been sleeping mega stiff for some reason.

It's also been a week of cats sleeping under the covers, which is odd because it actually got warmer, they're strange things. It gets super hot with all the cats in my bed with me. Nobody has been ill this week, no gross smellies or anything which is great, I don't enjoy that much.

I've been playing more pokemon this week, got most of what I needed out of the safari zone, got my 6th badge, got a hitmonlee. I've now seen 110 and own 64, evolved some pokemon i'll never use with stones and stuff, actually evolved my pikachu too, which is something i've never done.

I finally let Blackcat outside today, for the first time since before he was at the vets, I wanted to make sure he was weeing perfectly without medication. I think he enjoyed it, he's come in and is sleeping now, Jessie and James went outside for a second then ran inside, they're less fat than Orangecat and less hairy than Blackcat so it's probably a bit cold for them. I can't wait until summer and everyone is outside playing with bugs and climbing trees and chasing each other. 

I lied.

It was another busy week at work! Even more so with it being half term, I dislike children rather a lot. I made cookies though, I took them to work so everyone was my friend. Usually I wouldn't bother smoothing them out and shaping them but my sister insisted that I cut them into dolphins, seals, cats and little men, I got bored part way through and just did circles since the dough was too thick to just let them have a natural shape. I've not really been at home to notice any of the strange things my cats have been doing, though I did get them another cardboard box, which Blackcat insists is his, though he did let Orangecat have a turn in one of them. 

Jessie has been ill for a few days this week, I'm not sure what she's eaten but it's making her stink, from both ends, pleasant right?  I love how her and James have some super cute bunk bed thing going on, and they always sleep at the same time. The past few mornings I've woken up with Orangecat under the covers hugging my legs, which is rather odd since he's never been one to want to be fussed.

I like how Jessie and James are both winking together, they're so alike but so different it's crazy. Blackcat has been his usually beautiful self, lately his fur has been getting super matted and brushing him doesn't really seem to help, he spends most of his time grooming himself on my pillow still. He's now off his tablets and seems to still be peeing the same, so hopefully he is actually better now, I just need to somehow keep an eye on how he's pooping so I know when to stop giving him laxatives, I don't want to end up with explosive poo everywhere. 

All the new clothes and shoes that are out recently are so lovely, I'm not sure how much of them I would wear but I certainly do like them, clothes are super weird, like they look really good on almost everyone, I go to try them on and feel like I look really awkward in them or something, I guess it's probably just me being a fag but I dunno, it's weird. Jewellery and stuff too, I never ever bother with it, like I just can't be bothered in the slightest to make that much effort, never mind the fact that the only place I ever actually go to is work, and I can't wear jewellery and have to wear a uniform. I'm going to Nandos on Friday! I've never been before, but all I've heard about it is chicken and I fucking love chicken.

New food!

It snowed again! I bloody hate the snow. The cats all wanted to go and play in it again but I didn't want them getting cold. I sorted out the cupboard I keep their food in and took all of Blackcat's special food out of the big box it came in and they've all just been playing in it. I can't bring myself to throw it out so it's just laying around on the floor getting in the way, but they love it so it's alright. 

I like how Blackcat kinda looks like he has a duckface or something, he's such a tart. Orangecat doesn't seem bothered by it, he just wants some peace and quiet. That's pretty much all I have to say about the cats this week, I've been at work for what seems like forever, this week has been so busy so I haven't had time to spend time with them like I normally do. The vet rang this morning and said I needed to go pick up some more pills for Blackcat for the next week so he's not going straight off them, and the other cats finished their old food, they're now on Trovet urinary struvite or something, I don't really know but there isn't much price difference between that and the royal canin they were on, and this should help prevent them from getting crystals and other bad bladder stuff like Blackcat had. 

I've had like no time to play pokemon this week either, which is a shame, I feel like I can't really get back into it either now, oh well, maybe I'll get the feel for it again once my boyfriend stops playing metal gear and goes back to pokemon so I have some competition. Oh and I've now realised I like coffee! Yesterday at work was such a hard day so I just manned up and made one after being pretty sure I didn't like it, it was actually pretty nice! Was still really sleepy though, hopefully this week will be a little easier. 

As I was writing this the cats managed to get and eat a doughnut, they're so naughty.

Back to work

On Wednesday night everything seemed to go back to normal, back to before I got the kittens, Orangecat and Blackcat were playing together again. I never actually got a picture of it since they blur loads, but I did get one of Orangecat pretending he's a kitten or something, Blackcat just likes to pretend he has no arms and legs and sit there in his full fluffy glory. My boyfriend came over a couple of hours earlier than we'd planned which was nice, he loved his cakes but seemed way more interested in the cats, though to be fair, that was expected. 

Jessie and James spent most of the weekend in the radiator bed together and somehow manage to play in it without breaking it, or falling out which is rather impressive. They were so energetic for no reason, just running around the whole time and playing. I have this cool little usb glitter lamp thing that I have plugged into my laptop and they love the lights on the wall, its like a slow laser pointer and they find it awesome, I like watching them cos they have these super cool reflective collars that glitter and shine when any kind of light hits them, not just in the dark. They come in amazing colours too and they're from KittyCollars.co.uk and to make it better they have those safe snap fastener things too!

When Orangecat and Blackcat weren't playing they were either cuddling or playing on my boyfriends laptop. They got quite upset, because of Blackcats new found condition he isn't allowed anything other than his special cat food, we ordered pizza and before we'd always share it with them but obviously couldn't give anyone any since it would be unfair. I didn't realise how big 15inch pizzas were, usually we get this deal where you get two 10inch pizzas and 2 portions of chips, but instead we got two 15inch pizzas and omg it was unreal, we didn't even get through one in the night. Though it did save us having to make anything for Friday's dinner! Then on Saturday we went to the Chinese, so we ate super healthily the whole time he was here. It started snowing Saturday night, it was super cold and gross and it just didn't seem to stop, this morning there was snow everywhere, like 6 inches of it or something and I had to go back to work and walk all the way there, it was vile and I hate it. The cats seem to have a different opinion though, they just spend the day sat on the window ledge staring at it. I felt bad because Jessie and James have never seen snow before and I wanted to let them play in it, but Blackcats not allowed outside until he's completely better and it's mean to let everyone but him out. I had to go to work anyway so I couldn't play with them like I would have wanted to.

James always sleeps with his feet up past his head, obviously he's not sleeping there but he sits like it too, it's so weird, like why can't he just sleep with his legs in a normal position? This morning when he was getting fed he was so excited to be fed that he just threw all his food all over the floor, Jessie and Orangecat didn't care though, they just carried on eating, it's pretty funny that he was just picking his food up with his front paws to eat it, he's such a weird cat. I miss having pictures of all 4 cats eating together, but Blackcat needs to have medication put in his food and water added so that he gets enough so for now that won't be happening.

I got in from work, had my dinner then went upstairs to find Jessie, James and Orangecat playing on the cat tree, but not how they normally do, nobody has sat in that top triangle in about 2 years, it never ever gets used, but Jessie was sat in there seeking refuge from James and Orangecat who were trying to get her for some reason. I'm not sure how well it will cope with Orangecat sitting up there though, he's a pretty big lad, and it's wobbly enough as it is. Blackcat has just spent the whole evening asleep on my pillow, he literally hasn't moved while I've been writing this, and it's taken ages because I've been watching ace of cakes too. I love ace of cakes. I love my cats more though.

Yay!

Blackcat is home! He's already gone back to his baby-like ways and suckling on my dressing gown. He's on 3 different kinds of medication and then there is a 'just in case' one. He's peed since his been home which is good, and the other cats have accepted him back in very well, there hasn't been any hissing or violence which I'm really pleased about.  

The other night I caught James ripping the wallpaper off, I looked at him and he stopped and looked away, what a naughty boy! Jessie seems to have taken a liking to my gameboy bag and cuddles it at every given chance, not just when it's on the radiator bed.

Whenever I take photos of them I try to get them all equally so they don't feel I favour anyone, but that's hard when certain cats absolutely love having their picture taken! Orangecat tends to look away when I point a camera in his face, whether it be a phone or an actual camera, this one was brilliant though, not noticing Jessie was in the background ready to pounce until I'd taken it and she came darting across the bed onto his head.

Jessie seems to love having her paws in anything, shoes, the bed, bags, absolutely anything, I don't really know why, but no matter the reason it's still incredibly cute. Jessie and James run around like crazy when my mum is trying to do the washing, she empties the laundry basket and they just run all in the clothes and up the basket and everywhere, they tend to knock it over and when they do, Orangecat seeks refuge in there. I'd imagine it's been hard for him trying to keep them under control while Blackcat has been away, I bet he's glad Blackcat is home to take some of the responsibility.

Not that the little diva will, look at him all like "Aww look at my poorly arm, I've got a bandage, do things for me." He made me carry him down the stairs! He wants to go outside so bad but he's not allowed until we're all certain his toilet trips are normal. We had a nap earlier though, it was nice, apart from his rather strong urine scent, though I suppose I'd rather him be smelly and well than to smell nice and be unwell still, the vet took some photos of him and asked if he could put them on his website which I thought was pretty cool.

All of my wonderful game boy things arrived! I started playing pokemon silver after changing the internal battery because it didn't work at all, really easy to do, minus getting the actual battery out without putting a hole in your finger with the screwdriver, I managed it though! Then gold arrived, it worked, but I changed the battery anyway since it's for my boyfriend and I'd hate for anyone to get half way through the game and the battery to die and to have to start again, worst nightmare. I think I'm going to replace the battery in red and blue too, just in case, it doesn't take long at all and I'm not sure I can deal with hours of game play lost when it could have been prevented. I ordered a game boy printer too, so cool! I didn't realise the paper was a sticker too! And the cable is a link cable so I can trade, how cool is that?! Only one problem with it, it said it came with batteries, which it does, but they don't work! So I need to go get more which is a bit of a pain, the plan is to complete the pokedex, and do a print out for every pokemon, and my hall of fame, and my diploma and frame it, and forever have those awesome memories! 

It was my boyfriend's birthday yesterday, I made him these cupcakes today for when he comes home from uni tonight, he's a huge batman fan and he doesn't stop eating, so what better present is there?! I'm really happy with how these came out, I mean they're not like "oh my god super amazing" but you can tell who is who, and they're only going to get inhaled anyway so what difference does it make? :D
