Basil and Peanut

Bas in a box.


And why not indeed?


Peanut in a box: "Tiger"


Pickle in a box attempting "The Buddha"



And Peanut being her usual possessive self when it comes to "daddy" (sorry Janak she's just not that into you )

"You keep away from him"


Peanut really is seriously possessive of Mr B. She will sit there on his desk like that and yowl if I go for a hug or a kiss... She'll settle down on him like he's property and if he's in the loo or the bathroom and the door is closed she will sit outside and chirp until he lets her in!

Oh god our sofas really do look hideous! I'd like to add a disclaimer to those photos if I may


They were the best we could find at the time, they were cheap (ish), we will NOT be taking them back to the UK and they aren't really that sickly orange colour (it's when the flash bounces off the weird fabric it reflects that charming hue), they are maroon. Sadly the classy 'leaf' motif isn't a trick of the eye... But hey ho, they will do

Didn't want you all thinking they were my taste

That is all.

Aw they are stunning pics! I can't even see your sofas?!

So beautiful - tabbies have the most glorious markings. Our Bobbie is a man's cat too, tho nowhere as possessive as Peanut.

Can't really see the sofas either but will look out for them in future piccies and snigger at your taste then

Helen, you can't see your sofas!

fine then peanut, you can HAVE him. your still as beautiful as ever though! and the other kitties! :luv:

Pretty pusses! So sweet.

Peanut is a little ho. She truly has mastered that look of pure hatred. I must try to get a photo, maybe I can apply to the Linnean Society and get her pegged as a new species - the world's only poisonous mammal

And for all you interior decor types, my sofas in all their reflective glory:

I think your house looks lovely. I especially like the drape on the ceiling. Very homes and gardens.

thanks. That is an old photo - it's much more lived in now... And the drapes idea I stole from a shop. There are 3 - 2 in the living room and 1 in the pondok and the only reason i spent all that time erecting them is to cover up the hideous neon strip lights which made everything look like a hospital ward

What pretty cats :luv: , they are gorgeous

Awww, what lovely piccies!!! :luv: I can't believe they are all grown up already!!!!!

Helen you made me laugh too as I also couldnt see your sofas! But thanks for posting the second pic I must admit I love seeing other people's houses and also the draping is so cool! Love it! Your house looks really comfortable and that is a VERY good thing!

Those sofas are awful! They were the most comfortable we could find but are too 'shallow' if you get me - you can't really curl up properly on them. But oh well, it's not permanent It has changed a bit since that photo but that's pretty much our house

:luv: :luv: :luv:

Could they be any more gorgeous!!!

Cats best friend - The faithful cardboard box

Cutting holes in the corners was the best move we ever made - instant toy for 5... but they have to take turns getting shredded inside the box

Paper bags are good too!

PS The sofas are not too bad at all!
