On another sunny day it was time for hunting nemesis FROG. Also on the agenda was a pond full of tadpoles and strangely enough a plug that went missing from the kitchen a few months earlier turned up, thanks to Olly finding it, or remembering where he originally took it to more like.
And after a wonderful week of weather the rain came to spoil the fun, Olly just sat in the kitchen window wandering where those sunny days had gone,, yes he really does mope when he can’t get his little way and as much as he tried to paw away the rain drops running down the window, he fought and lost a losing battle, I think he can remember Rico in the sun the previous day.
Oh how Olly loves the sun, and the adventures. Sitting around the pond swatting fly`s and chasing butterflies.
Then out of the blue he spots his nemesis, FROG.
Rico, who was sunbathing in next doors garden hears the commotion and decides its time to investigate too.
Now Billy has to get in on the act.
Feeling a bit sorry for FROG I decided to put him back in the pool and rescue him from the freak show he must have been enduring
Bye FROG
So off to ventures new, ball with Billy soon went pear shaped when Billy dropped the ball in the pond when getting a drink, “don’t worry” said Olly “ill get it”,, I wish.
And there was time do check for mice under the steps and of course eat grass.
Olly`s fascination with water see’s no let up in the kitchen. When washing up, to keep his nose out of hot water literally, i scoop bubbles up and place then on his head, as you can imagine he finds it a game and try’s to head the invisible ball, the game is over when they all finally pop and he wanders off to find Rico and take it out in him.
We are half way through having the whole of our house decorated, and it was turn of the kitchen, we had a tea cosy that covered an old disused tea pot, its only when I started to take stuff out of the kitchen when I noticed Olly had fluffed up in fright, it was the tea cosy. I had stood it up on top of the dinning room table and it was looking at Olly, I did not have chance to get my camera before he disappeared out of the house in shock, so I took the cosy outside and tried to capture the moment, I could not, he seemed more relaxed in the open space and the garden.
Having finally had enough of being a doorman for the cats, I finally got Roj to fit my cat flaps, one from the garden into the conservatory and one from the conservatory to the dinning room. The fitting took one hour and then the fun began. How do you train cats to get through the flaps, after extensive research on the net I decided to go for the peg method, I clipped open the flaps with pegs and waited for the imminent return of the cats from their afternoon jaunts.
Olly returned first, he slowly crept up to the first flap, a major sniffing session followed before he gingerly passed through; he turned and again gave a major sniffing session the other side of the flap. For him to enter the house he had to do the same routine again, he did not fail me, Olly was in, yea I know the flaps were up but it’s a start. Rico next, to my surprise he was in the house and behind me, he must have been upstairs, he walked over the dining room flap, one sniff and shot into the kitchen,, he did not like it. I picked him up and put him in front of it, he tried to get away but I was firm and shuffled him into the hole, against his wishes he shuffled through, he did not turn to sniff the flap but decided to venture over to the one leading into the garden, this one he did manage, then it was a game for them both, in, out, in, out and so on, I just left them to it. The next day was to be the test, flaps down.
Just after breakfast both cats were out, so we dropped the dining room flap down. Olly was first to return, he came through the open outside flap but noticed the dining room flap down, he jumped up onto a chair and sat looking through the window at me barking his orders to get me to let him in, no chance, he had to work it out himself. Knowing he had gained entry through the flap before he jumped down and tried to chew his way through, a few kicks and nose shuffles he did it, he really did it, he was in and just to make sure we spotted his achievement he went straight out again, oh Olly, good boy.
Rico, well, he returned and too jumped on the chair, no way was he going to try the flap, so I slightly opened it for him and coaxed him down off the chair, after a few nose shoves he too was through,, it’s the start we wanted and better and quicker than we thought, well done boys.
