Hymns in Minor Keys & the Russian Easter Overture - the Excellent Cats ignore Culture.....

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

..............and prepare instead to track down the Easter Bunny, anticipating a delicious snack.

Woohoo! Got a letter today stating that (assuming they don't take it away altogether under the as yet unpublished new rules) I get an increase to my PIP come 7th April.

It's an entire FIFTY PENCE A WEEK! Means I could splash out on a Molly's Mice 3-4 times a year with it...

Steady on! You don't want people thinking you've won the lottery or something... 😹

Same here!

We should have an Excellent Cats day out somewhere, funded by the generosity of the DWP.

I'm trying to get into bed, but am prevented from doing so by Mr.Gizmo.

I'm doing my best to explain that he's in my way, but have so far failed to shift him.

Did you make it into bed?

I'm more concerned that if she did, Gizmo will have enacted some hideous act of revenge in the night 😾.

Cooking bubble and squeak this morning with left over veg.
Sybil stole some broccoli.

That’s very healthy of Sybil.

I might do a broccoli & tofu stir fry for lunch but I don’t think Kitty will be that interested.

I wasn't impressed when I turned round and saw her nose in the bowl of broccoli I was about to cut up, but yes I admire her healthy food choices too 😁.
She's now sitting on my chair at the kitchen table, purring like mad, and looking like the cat that got the broccoli cream.

Healthiest thing Herbie has ever pinched was this sweetcorn (have posted this picture before).
I have to be careful when doing cups of tea, if I leave milk ready in cups on the worktop, he has been known to jump up and dip his paw in to lick the milk off!

Kitty definitely takes an interest if I’m cooking with any kind of cream. The healthy options, not so much.

Yes, after ten minutes of gently pushing him, accompanied by ten minutes of hissing and growling.

He eventually retired to his donut, but he wasn't happy about it.

Tobias is going through one of his phases of actively coming up to me for a scritch, then suddenly realising what's going on (evil monster touching him) and running away in a panic. I do wonder sometimes what goes on in that brain of his - OK so both Boycat & Girlcat took their own sweet time about accepting strokes etc from me, but once they did that was it and touching was always acceptable.

I'm starting to think he's gaslighting me!

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Do you not fit in the donut so he could have the bed he thinks fits his status?

The Broons obviously need a bigger bed.

Erm........

Suzy came in today, and didn't seem to want to leave, so Pa Broon helped her.

Argh. That reminds me of when the bed was delivered, three years ago.

The men delivering it hadn't received the note saying we'd paid for them to assemble it, and they left before I could really get going with the verbal abuse.

So nothing loath, Pa Broon said we could do it. How hard could it be?

Reader, it took us several hours and I thought Pa would have a heart attack.

Yes, I helped. So did Linney and Emerald, which made it much more complicated.

Linney kept getting in the drawers and Emerald miaowed non-stop with excitement.

Bloody cats.

Suzy raises objections on being asked to vacate Broon Cottage.

And Picard pops in for a visit.

It's all go at your house @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

Seems like the felines are trying to take over!

Trying?

Yes, sorry, my mistake!

Aye, they're definitely in charge.

Of everything.

Speaking of felines being in charge, Frankfurter has informed me tonight that I no longer have a pillow on one side of the bed. This is now his pillow and I am also not allowed to complain about his old man snoring keeping me awake.
