happy Saturday from Kali the microcat who is on fly catching duty today

Soo fortunately has stayed completely unaware - though to be fair that is his normal condition.

And a happy second 'gotcha' day to PipSqueak - 1st June 2023 we found a poor little almost blind, sick ginger kitten the middle of the road. Look what a handsome boy he is now!

I'm a big bad 4 week old kitten and if anyone dares steal my toy I'll ...I'll ... I'll... squeak for mummy!

home in Crete after a whirlwind trip to London for a double OU graduation ceremony at the Barbican. My graduation was cancelled in 2020 so I told my daughter @jennikaos.bsky.social that I'd wait and we could graduate together - so here are 2 masters graduates for the price of one! #OUfamily 🧵1/2

Today in a picture ... another day clearing away the pruned branches of the olives ... Jimmy has of course been supervising.

After a non existent harvest, mainly due to the ongoing drought in our part of east Crete, the olive trees have had a severe pruning. In spite of the noise of the chain saw and wood chipper as we clear up the branches Jimmy cat is happy to sleep nearby and keep an eye on us...

While we wait to see what is happening with the swarm of earthquakes in the Dodecanese the weather in east Crete has turned cold and windy. Bob, one of the rescue cats who normally prefers to stay outside, has voted with his paws and commandeered the fluffiest cat bed in the house …

I have been remiss in posting cat photos! To make up for it here are the three gingers asleep!

We still aren't allowed to get rid of the big cardboard box - Pip keeps remodelling it ...

Good morning from Pip the Destroyer

The big box is still in one piece - just but Pip has decided to try and claw his way out of the bottom today

This is the current state of them - for a cat that prefers humans to other cats Ginger is really rather tolerant of Basil!
December 25, 2024 at 7:50 PM
Could be an AI Fail - but it is Basil being a teenage cat and slumping next to Ginger (who is trying to sleep)
December 25, 2024 at 7:46 PM
Pip and Basil say Merry Boxmas to Benny and their Christmas box is the best ever!

A trip into Agios Nikolaos today - as always I had to go and say hello to the statue of Europa down by the cruise terminal. It was a windy winters day and the area was quiet so I could spend time just admiring this wonderful piece of work.

Hi from Ginger who has just discovered our kitchen cabinets …
December 6, 2024 at 9:35 AM
Good evening all - Tili cat says Hi. She is relaxing having spent the day being pestered by 3 ginger cats
December 5, 2024 at 8:01 PM
And it's raining! 13mm in the village so far to day, a bit more in the garden which is basically a small grove of olives with our veg patch and some citrus trees which are really appreciating the rain - it is also of course the home of Jimmy the garden cat!
November 30, 2024 at 2:21 PM
Still waiting for the rain ... we had 20mm in the village the weekend before last but that was all we have had this month.

Stats for Sitia - East Crete
Current year to date (29th November) 136 mm
Last year total 395mm
