Now you know part of what's behind the door, Lishy!
Have a lovely weekend, everybuddy. Here we are forecast to have the hottest weekend of the year so far, so we're planning on taking it easy and staying cool.
my friend Greta gave me the most awesome orange mouse tent in the world.
I had super good snoozes in my tent all those months ago, and I still do now.
It's aMOUSEing! Hahahah!
In reality, we are Big. Tough. Mancats.
We act like MANCATS!
And we have an absolute ball while doing it!
You know how I say that my brother Fui is not the brightest of bulbs? I have proof! He loves to sit at the back door sniffing the fresh airs and watching the birds come to our backyard. In this picture, you can see the security screen over our back door, to keep the bad cats inside and the bad guys outside. 
Fui got super involved in watching a sparrow today. He crouched back in huntin' pose, did the huntin' bum wiggle, then did the huntin' pounce. And crashed face first into the screen door.
It. Was. Awesome! My mum and I laughed and laughed. Poor old Fui. He's lucky he's handsome.
They are all awesome places for me to sit up high and watch what is going on.
I love to jump between my platforms!
When our new cat tree arrives, our other one will be moved in here to give me a boost. I'm really looking forward to that!
I love the feel of winds in my furs!
Have a happy weekend, kitties :)
Mum's obsessed with my face at the moment, and is getting all up in my business. I can't really blame her, though. I am very pretty.
Today I am thinking about my squinting through the door friend Dahlia. She was adopted over the weekend and is enjoying her first week in her Forever Home.
We love you, Dahlia! Have a brilliant life. You deserve all the wonder in the world :)
I'm nomming it before it realises mum lives here and it dies.
There are 3 other pots outside, so mum can rotate them for us.
If she doesn't kill it with her black thumb, that is.
Now, I have an excuse. We have this new CatIt tower to eat out of. In order to eat, we have to play with our food.
There are three layers on the inside of the top section, all with holes in them. When we get the food to the bottom, it falls out into the white rim on the bottom.
Sometimes we get a bit over-enthusiastic, and the food shoots over the top of the rim when it falls out, onto the floor.
When I make that happen, instead of hearing "don't eat junk off the floor, Kittenboy", I hear "oh you are such a clever little fluffyhead, look at all that food you swished out!".
Hi everybuddy! We're baaaack! We arrived in Melbourne yesterday afternoon. When we first got home, Lishy yelled the house down, but we settled quite quickly. Mum was really happy with how well we travelled. Today, you could be forgiven for thinking we've always lived here!
We all had our bright orange tickets attached to our bright orange crates. This is Lishy's ticket. 
My brother and sister tease me about being a ten tonne tabby, but now JetPets kind of called me one, too. I required a puppy crate to travel in, while Suey and Lishy were in the regular kitty sized crates.
Mum even thinks she could probably squeeze in there if she really tried. 
Oh well. I'm not bothered. I know I'm not fat. I am family sized!
Alongside the people, there are a heck of a lot of animals in need. Though we were thankful to hear last night that the Brisbane Showground was now allowing evacuated residents to bring cats in cages and dogs on leads, there are still a lot of animals (domestic, agricultural and wildlife)who were left behind. Shelters are also affected, with the RSPCA's Dakabin, Toowoomba, Fairfield and Gympie shelters closed. We were heartened to see the number of people who responded to the Fairfield shelter's SOS and turned up to help evacuate animals when it began to flood. One lady in particular touched our hearts when after turning up to foster a dog, ended up taking home a rooster because that was what was needed. They ended up turning people away, the response was so great.
If anyone is able to support the shelters through purr, prayer, practical or financial assistance, it is greatly needed at this time. The QLD Animal Welfare League and The QLD RSPCA are helping to coordinate a lot of the rescue efforts.
In September 2008, Sarbi was seperated from her handler during an ambush. The fighting was so severe that it led to the awarding of the first Victoria Cross to an Australian soldier since 1969. She was last seen injured, heading towards a patrol base. Despite fearing the worst, allied soldiers were informed that Sarbi had been classified as Missing in Action, and were asked to keep a look out for her.14 months later while on patrol in Oruzgan province, a young American soldier noticed a fat black labrador walking with a local man. He knew that an Australian dog was missing, and used a few simple commands in English. Sarbi responded immediately. From there, she was flown to Tarin Kowt where her identity was confirmed and the process of returning her to Australia could begin.
Sarbi has now finished all the quarantine requirements, and yesterday was seen for the first time out in public back with her handler. She will continue to train, and in about a month will be assessed for whether she should return to duty or be retired. If retired, she will most likely retire with her handler and his family, as is the standard practice here.
We are very glad that Sarbi found a good person to look after her, until she was able to find her way home, and are sending lots of thanks out to him. You're a good dog, Sarbi. Welcome home.
It is in the eyes of the beholder.
Or something like that.
