Wide eyed Wednesday

We've been chilling out on the catio. Mirsku has developed his sprawling skills. He poses very artistically.

But loyal readers, avert your eyes if full frontal views offend you. In fact, you need to stop reading and go and find some snacks to distract you.  What we have to show you is simply mancatness in all its glory: Mirsku of Finland is a poser.

From every angle!  

Jura-ninja doesn't quite manage to block the view - but wethinks there are lots of girlcats (and maybe even mancats and humans)who are secretly quite pleased about this!

Tuesday Tarting

It is not often I give over my blogpost to a girlcat, but today Jaava-ninja is in the spotlight. She loves the blue garden chair and has taken this over as her personal property.

And she can expose everything with a quick roll.  This is perhaps too much information.

'Mitä katsot ?'   'What you lookin' at?'

How un-lady like. How rude to stick out her tongue.

But Jaava does not care and continues to groom her tail.

And then to snooze away. But look at that claw, poised and waiting for some poor innocent mancat to come by.

Mini-mancat Monday

Young Sampo has adapted well to the role of the little mancat in perheeni, and he poses with his golden kitten eyes staring into space. But it's not such a nice pose as my magnificent new header photo which so many of you loyal readers have been kind enough to praise!

And as mini-mancat he has to put up with the, erm, attentions, of a few of the more major mancats.

He is very patient.

And by the time its Mirsku's turn, he's simply bored.

He much prefers chomping at the greenery in the garden.

And tussling in the grass. It's possible you cannot quite see him under Stran's mighty fluff. 

Stran holds him in place with a single paw.

 And he keeps his calm despite the bunny kicks of the infant ninja.

Sampo's legs flay about madly: Stran is simply patient....

...and keeps Sampo under his paw.

Snoozy Sunday

We have been luxuriating in Äiti's attention. Well, that means we've been snuggled up with her as she relaxes. This picture was taken last week when Stran decided she had done enough studying! She has had to do a chemistry course (all from books, no fun experiments) to help with her qualifications here in Finland - even though she has taught it for 20 years in the UK, she needs a piece of paper to prove she has officially done some study on it!   And of course her Finnish studies will continue, and we want her to learn more all the time - mutta hänen suomen kieli on tosi huono!

Last week Sampo was sunning himself on the top shelf.

And Mirsku was guarding the bonsai tree, and catiocam which is in the weather-proof metal box.

And I was in the little hut which is Tessie-kilpikonna's night time place.

Now it's all dull and chilly outside we are resting inside more. Now if Äiti would move over more we could have a better stretch on the sofa......

No more study Saturday

The seemingly eternal studying is over! Äiti got back late last night from taking her exam in Finland (South) - so we got less attention than we deserve. Pöh. I would not even look at the camera! But apparently all will change now and we'll get the attention we so richly deserve.  And the kitchen table will be emptied of study books.

Loyal readers, I thank you for your positive words about our project, Rainbow Bridge Stars. We look forward to putting Äiti to work on the first requests we hope to get.
