A Kitten report

Prolog:
Papa is about to change his Internet Service Provider.
Which should have been taken place from Jan 1st.
But due to technical challenges, it will be postponed at least until Feb 1st.
In the meantime, papa is using his “mobile” internet connection, which is not very fast.

Then the News:
Lilli, the 2 months old Kitten got a severe fever here on Thursday.
(Photo at bottom of story)
She did not eat, nor drink. She was allmost “dead”.Slept on my body for hours without a move. She was hot as an Iron.
I checked the Phone # and opening time for our Vet.
Her Mother was as well desperate – miewoooow .

During the Night I found Lilli at the Rest Room, heating cables on the Floor you know.
She was shivering.

What to do?
Leave her here or bring her into papa’s bed?
Or leave her to her Mother Felicia?
Or her Aunt Rosa?

Anna, my wife, you know, as well had a serious Cold, so she slept in another Room but me….
Friday morning Lilli seemed to be a bit better, so I went to work.
(in fact a very good day at work).

When returning home Friday afternoon, it seems Lilli was more or less half recovered, until she once again wanted to lay on papa. She was again hot as an Iron.Really warm she was.

So I thought, Saturday morning: The Vet.
We will see....
 
Here you see Lilli. Papa thinks she is a beautiful Manx Cat.

More to come….

ps. due to my present internet connection, blogging etc will be at a very low level, but it was important to tell about Lilli.

Last news : A sensation: The Kitten has left her Cradle

This evening Felicia’s only kitten this year went out on her own for the very first time.
3 weeks young and very well protected by her Mother.
 
Can I walk on this Carpet?

I see something, do you as well? On the Carpet..
Hello, I’m a very young female Manx Cat
Love my Mother. Her name is Felicia. I have no name yet.
Have you a any idea what my name should be?

Have a great pre X-Mas time everybody.

A true story about Cats and the Birth of a Kitten

 
Felicia told us for 4 Days ago:
I need help to have my kitten(s) - I'm overdue.
 
She was right. We had to help her.
It was a Breech birth.
Papa with his fingers gripped on one tiny foot and gently draw the kitten out in the air.
Papa admits: A challenge - A matter of life and dead.
 
I tell you, if you have never helped Birth
– a new life to start
- taking care of the Mother
If not:
– you have lost the most important moments of Life.

See the beautiful patterns - and it's a real Max

Papa is so overwhelmed - allready speaks and walks
– he can only pray for a good life for the newborn cat.

PS.It might be more kittens…

Two Kittens got new Owners

Wednesday afternoon I got a SMS:
- My name is G L. Do you still have Kittens?
- Yes, we have two, a female and a male.

Here they are, brother and sister

Then a Phone Call:
- Hi, it's G L. Do you think we can come and have a look at the Kittens this evening? So we can pick up one?
- Well, I replied, we have decided the two Kittens shall live together. How do you live?
- We live in a Villa with a great Garden
- Well, then you can come this evening. But I warn you, we have opened a bottle of Champagne.
We hope the Norwegian Mens Team will win the Cross Country Ski relay in the Olympics.
- That's great, we can then see the finnish when we arrive.

Love at first sight

We had both Champagne and Red Wine from Argentina. Norway won the Gold Medal.
And guess what, the young lady was born in Argentina, and did live there until she was 13.
Hence, we started talking like old friends and had a nice evening before they went home with their two new Family members.

Happy new Cat Owners

We are sure they will give the Kittens a great new Home. We know, because Felicia (Mother Cat) also accepted the new owners very quick and easy, which is not her normal way of behaviour.


PS. On Saturday we will celebrate Metin Leander's Naming Ceremony in Oslo City Hall. More on that later.

Stompa is back Home and Baby Vagabond's name revealed

Dear readers,
family and friends,

Last Saturday we had visitors.
Ingelin, Kaya, Baby Vagabond and Sölvi.

And Stompa was still in our Winter Home.
You are wellcomed to be a virtual visitor.

They came to bring Stompa, the Manx Cat, back home. Here in his favourite Chair.
10 years old he is.
He has stayed with us since early July. Both in our Summer House and in our Winterhome.
He felt more and more very well at Home with us and Felicia and Rosa.

Stompa was a very frequent vistor in our bed. And in the early mornings, mieoow, do you know what time it is? Hungry - U know.
He even told us when he wanted us to go to bed.

As usual, when we have visitors, we have to sit around the Family Heritage Table to join good food and beverages.

Baby Vagabond with typical Norwegian Tuque. Have you ever seen a cuter santa to be...
or? Santa is, as you might know from Turkey. Just read here.

Here is Baby Vagabond and Anna

Baby with boring Grandpa - Metin Leander preferred to sleep.
Yes, that's his name.
It means:
Metin is Turkish and means STRONG.
Leander is Greek and means: LION OF A MAN

What do you mean, when understanding the meaning of baby vagabonds name. Still strange and unusual, or did it help when explained the meaning_

Have a great week end to come.
I'm in Mariestad, Sweden. In RennyBA and DianeCA's leisure home.

PhotoHunt June 13 - 2009 - Lock

Papa is back on Photo Hunter - Hurray;-))
With more than one type of Lock.

Here you see a Cat in a travelling cage.
The Lock is made from plastic - just easy to turn and Lock.
The Cat? It's Stompa. My regular readers do know him. Photo from last year.

Then, we are leaving Norway and going East. To Sweden and the Gothic Canal.
(Göta kanal)

You are invited to the most western of all the Locks in this Canal.
At Sjötorp. At the eastern end of Lake Vänern, the greatest lake in the Nordics.
My friend Renny has often written from the area.

Enjoy the life and sceneries around Canal Locks. It's very special. Here it's how it works.


To elevate, the Lock has to be empty

(I did travel on the Canals in Europe back in 1965 - Germany - Holland - Belgium - France - Switzerland - and experienced several hundreds Locks)

Papa's Big Right Toe Again

Papa's big toe have been the point of his body, closest to the Sky for several days.
What worries: The Fact that none of the 4 Medical Doctors involved have any Idea about the reason for what caused the injury.
Papa has been away for several days. From the Blogosphere. That's a horrible thing for his mind. Like beeing put in Jail. Due to a single Toe. But Papa, in his age, need to think about his future. And understand Safty First is priority "1.

Even Felicia understands. She has been very patient and caring when her human's right big toe was the highest point of Papas body. She is a very caring Cat.

It's better now. I'll return to all of you when I can sit down for more than 5 minutes. OK?

Cats on Tuesday Sept 30: You stupid non sexy man

My dear readers may recall Rosa and Felicia were supposed to have kitten this Summer.

But with Males like this grey cat around -
He only thinks about food - silly cat, do you hear me - mioooooow

Need to check him up. Mieectible

Can't you even smell me? mieow

Can't you feel me? mieeeooooo - purr purr

Miieewhm - are you a Male or have you a voice like a young boy?

Both Felicia and Rosa have given up the Castrate (Enlarge this photo)
Well, Felicia thought about a secure solution *giggles*.

Papa. Who else? At least Papa did read Mickey Mouse. We enjoyed and slept well.

Have a great weeks with cats, gatos, katzen, chats, katter, humans, friends, family and clients and whoever you might meet. Start here

A pregnant Cat and Anna - and papa

Felicia is pregnant. No doubt.
She stick to us 24/7. In bed. In Kitchen. In Garden. Everywhere.

These photos were taken Saturday.
When we could stay outdoor. To day - Sunday: Green winter again. Very chilly and rainful. Even problems to lit up our Fireplace.
(You know how it is when the smoke goes right back into the room - instead of up the Chimney? - and your smoking Alarm starts to bell---)


See the love between a cat and a Human

Felicia do trust us. She know we will help her, if complications. She also knows Anna will leave on Tuesday for Hong Kong. Visting Ingelin.
Papa will be alone in the Summerhome for about 10 Days. And work from there.
He are able to make his own food (healthy) and feed both Felicia and Rosa.
Even do what have to be done in the Garden. If the weather permits. Right now: Stay in door.

--- and haha - Papa has no TV. Only Radio, Mobile Phone and Internet. + Books and BD's.

The analog TV closed down a month ago. So what you here see is now history.

Hungry Cat or Chef?

Hello, please send me some ingredients. I wanna cook. And prepare Coffee for you

Well, it was a great, secret Meal
Have to run out. I'm Dating. Purr-purr
More Cats on Tuesdays at Gattinas

Felicia jumps to the Roof and Peder Fur is back

UT I VÅR HAGE

My dear readers do know we have moved to our Summerhouse for the season. Felicia and Rosa loves their hunting fields and also their viewposts. Felicia loves to stay on top of the roof. Here you can see how she prepare for the jump. You must enlarge to see her in the nature

I'm not able to jump that long and high. LOL.

Here you see her preparing to jump to the roof:
Here she has started to jump:

Here you can see her in more details. Remark her back feet are still on the rock, with no movements, while the rest of her body is up to high speed. Fascinating the cats body-"construction" or Anathomy:

And if Felicia is not down from the Roof, she still is on the Top.

And here, an old Friend, Peder Pels or Peder Fur. He is back again, begging for food:

More Cats over here at Gattinas.

We are moving - TT

Hello dear reader,
1)we will move out to our Summerhome on Friday, no matter of the weather. We can't wait any longer. Rosa and Felicia tells us their way, they are fed up with the 2) Litter Box for the season and they wanna be free hunters outside in the Nature. It's needed, 'cause it seems to be more mice than in several years. The Cats rules.

3) And we miss the beautiful view from our platform. Oslofjord and Islands. The one in the background is more than 200 meters ( about 625 feet) high. It used to be a military and restricted area until not that many years ago. Now it's free admission to that Island (The High Island - Håøya from høy øy lokalt kalt Håya)) and all the douzen others in the area.

4) Not to talk about flowers and green fingers. Even the Cats enjoy our outdoor Greenhouse. Do you see both Rosa and Peder Fur? Clue: One is on the Roof. Click to reveal.

5) Here is Paprika or Sweet/bell pepper - both greens and red - seeds from an organic we did buy 2 years ago.
6) The new seasons ones are allready in good shape for the season to come. But we will keep them in our Winterhome for yet some weeks. (Might still be cold during the Nights.)

7) Our platform is the Paradise Restaurant for Rosa, Stompa and Felicia - Open air 3-star Catelin category. LOL.

8) I do hope we can connect to Internet Friday evening from our Summerhouse. Excuse us if some problems will occure - and also for me packing for our seasonal move this evening. I'll get in touch, read and comment all my blogger friends recent posts ASAP.
9) Season hugs
10) Anna and Tor
11) Rosa and Felicia

Epilog:
12) We brought in the Cats Cages and our Grand Trunck. The Cats ran away. I took a bath in the Tube. Lot's of Salt. When I returned from my "Spa" - the Cats were sniffing on their Cages. But when we where close to them - they ran away again. They are exited to go to the Summer Home, but also feel sentimental to leave a safe winterhome. They are really alike us. That's one of the reasons we adore cats. They a very much a like humans when coming to feelings. Exact the same center in the brain for feelings that homo sapiens.
-- I did learn a new word this evening: (hard to wright though) Miaaoowee mieow
( I do understand - do not forget Cat can understand 700-800 of your words and vica versa?)
13) More hugs
