B & C and Fireworks
We did a day trip on a bus tour yesterday to see some lovely
Rhododendrum and Azalea gardens - they were fabulous. However as we were gone from 7.a.m. to 8 p.m. it was necessary to lock up the terrible three. Put FSP in the cat house and left B & C inside. They were not pleased and Clyde rewarded me by peeing on the damp dishcloth on the kitchen bench, sigh. He couldn't pee in the sink as I had covered it with an oven tray! I let them outside for a while when we got home, (foolishly, I might add as they are very hard to catch at night) I had forgotten it was Guy Fawke's Eve and there were fizz bangs and crackers going off everywhere. Most cats are terrified of crackers and such but not B & C. I bet they would light the fuses if I gave them the chance. Finally I nabbed them as they sat on the lawn together admiring a load of stars from a particularly noisy rocket. Bev -- The email of the species is more deadly than the mail. |

Next time =) you come to visit Sweden you should come end of May, they have a great collection of Rhododendrons not too far from here, started by a former king of Sweden, it's a nice place, a castle overlooking the Oresund and Denmark - even if I am sure nothing to do with nature can compete with NZ ... http://www.sofiero.helsingborg.se/eng/index_eng.html T&B are usually fascinated by fireworks too, they will watch with great interest from the window sill. Only New Year's 2000 when it was even more sparkling and crackling going on then usually they got a bit fed up after a some time and left the windows. Thea is on the keyboard just now, headbutting me so I suppose she means for me to pass them on to you ... =) -- lewe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- lewemi at yahoo dot se | cat pics: photos.yahoo.com/lewemi |

Frank and Nikki used to enjoy fireworks, too, but the last couple of years, on New Year's Eve, Frank has been terrified, poor boy. I don't know why he's suddenly afraid of them, but I have to stay up all night to calm him down on New Year's. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Bev I didn't realise you celebrated Guy Fawkes in New Zealand, I'm glad the cats weren't upset. Where I live I have double glazing, also few neighbours with children, so indoors the fireworks were bearly audible. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |
