V.E.R.

The last day of my summer holiday didn’t really go as planned. I thought it would be one last day of relaxing and doing fun stuff but instead I had to drive to another state for an emergency! Just a little warning though, there might be a little TMI ahead for some… I guess it [...]



Sam’s Second Surprise

Sam had another surprise for me today, although this one was a lot less amusing and less easier to fix. This morning I noticed he went to the litter box a lot. Usually he goes on the clock so I thought it was a little weird. Obviously I went to check the litter box only [...]



Pancake Anyone?!

The only thing I usually eat from the microwave (and not even that often!) are pancakes. Generally they aren’t very good, they are dry, boring and if you get the wrong brand you can even do someone’s head in with it. But I discovered a brand now that does decent pancakes. They are not that [...]



Prince Sam

Sam has been with me for nearly a year now. And he has grown so much over the year that it’s hard to believe he fit in my hand when he first arrived. For those of you who don’t know the story of Sam, here it is in a nutshell; Sam was 6 weeks old [...]



Sam’s Surgery

Sam had surgery this morning. Nothing serious he just has been neutered. It might sound cruel but it’s the best thing for him. His hormones started playing up (even though he’s only 6 months old) and he was trying to hump things, which he isn’t allowed. It’s only frustrating for him to have to deal [...]



Ornamental Mayhem Part II

Finally there is a little time to sit down and write something up in between cleaning up broken Christmas ornaments, buying Christmas presents, redecorating the tree with “Sam Proof” ornaments, work and family. I think the tree lasted about half a week before I had enough of the shattered ornaments (about 6 or 7 in [...]



Ornamental Mayhem

It’s the season of little lights and Christmas trees again, but I’m not sure if I did the right thing by putting up my Christmas tree this year. Sam seems to enjoy it a little too much. He’s doing alright when I’m around or when I’m away for a little while to have coffee at [...]



Growing Up So Fast

Sam is growing up so fast. I know cats grow up quickly but if I compare him to photos taken in August when he first arrived and compare them to how he is now, he gotten a lot bigger and changed colors a few times in the last few months. Unfortunately he will always have [...]



New Game

Sam has been out in the living room while I’m away at work for over a week already, and he’s doing really well. He leaves alone my cables and he hasn’t broken anything yet (knocks on wood). But he has invented a new game… Mum sometimes comes in while I’m away to check on him, [...]
