I once had a much loved, very affectionate Siamese cat named Hershey. He liked to cuddle on my left shoulder. Every time I sat down, he was there. It looks as if Percy might be going to be a shoulder cat too. He just hasn’t chosen his shoulder yet.

Rough time at the hospital today and still feeling grim. However, I have had a look at my own appendix while it was still in situ. Not a lot of people can say that.
Percy cuddles are recommended for pain therapy.

Cute, but tends to get in way of marking.

I have missed a post for the first time in 2013, so here is yesterday’s picture and I’ll post today’s later. John snapped Percy sunbathing at the weekend. He’s sitting in the pot of a pretty little olive tree we have in the back yard.
Please ignore the dandelions.

During this half-term holiday I have found the time and energy to express my creativity through sewing. Naturally, Milka and Percy have helped; you see them here playing with loose pieces of cut off threads from my mini-rubbish bin. The other picture is one of my little fabric creations.

We had a big adventure today. A little background is needed; my love of Siamese cats was born in 1970, when I was five. My parents bought a male red-point, which they called Candle and he won our hearts overnight. He was a retriever, enjoyed riding in the car (loose) and adored a good trip out. Mum and dad took him to Richmond Park (where he chased red deer, years before Fenton the dog) and even the beach.
Knowing that some Siamese are just as intrepid as Candle and certain that Percy is the boldest kitten I have ever had, I took him on a 15-mile ride to visit my mum today. He was brilliant! He enjoyed having a new house to sniff, weed in his travelling litter tray and gave lots of affection to my mum, who he hadn’t yet met. Percy’s reward was a whole slice of poached salmon. We humans enjoyed a thoroughly retro game of Trivial Pursuit.
I don’t plan to take him to any parks, but am pondering which of my nearby friends would enjoy a visit from young Mr Percival.

I’m enjoying my half-term holiday, especially when I have the leisure for a double-cuddle with Milka and Percy.

Percy catching some zzz on my lap just now. Looking forward to lots of half-term cuddles and games.

Well, it’s a sad day, because Rosa is not going to stay on with us. She has made friends with all the humans she has met, but Rosa is resolutely determined not to make friends with Milka, Florence and Willow. Milka has been very persistent in making friendly advances, but Rosa won’t have it and snarls at him. One of their spats led to the little scratch on her nose.
I knew it was time to admit defeat yesterday, when Rosa snarled at Percy, who she has known since he was born. I think she must see him as one of ‘our’ cats, because he smells like them now.
Isobel and her friend Jen took about 50 silly pictures after school yesterday and Rosa just calmly enjoyed her cuddle. It’s just the other cats she doesn’t like.

It’s only taken a week. Milka and Percy are new best buddies.
