And we're back !

To all our beloved, most patient Loyal Readers who have had nothing to read for far too long; we thank you for your messages and support. I am delighted to announce the Felocrats are back. I give you a most magnificent view of my wrinkles to celebrate - although I could not look Äiti in the eye as I am still a little bit fed up with her.

And we report that Jura is doing well and the other day he caught a mousie! He was growling away as Äiti removed it from him and this was a most excellent sign. He is on pain medication every couple of days and is eating well so we hope the nasty thing in his throat really does stay small.

And so in the time of our blogcation the world has changed a lot and now Äiti is working from home. Several of us have made appearances in online lessons and meetings, and we are very able coworkers for her. We realise many of you felines are in a similar position, with your humans around all the time. We hope you are coping with it and being compensated with extra treats and delights which you demand.
Now we trust Äiti is over her meltdown. She'd been pretty depressed but then got a real shock when the Property Manager of the housing association she is in issued a very aggressive 'get the house fixed' notice. Now anyone who lives with 9 or more kitties usually does not have a home which will win awards for tidiness, and as you know we have a tradition of wall decoration...... However, on further investigation the conditions which were identified originated from a repair made who basically didn't like felines and complained. He led the Property Manager to believe we were dangerous which is really rude as none of us even met him.  Well, if he turned up here again we might well be because he caused a lot of trouble and we don't like him.
So, Äiti got the place cleaned and that stressed us out as we were confined and then all our years of work and deocoration were gone !  What a travesty. But our opinion differs from Äiti's in this respect so we have to compromise: we pee and she cleans it up. Same as before.

We hope she now will have the energy to blog daily - it's about time really. And of course Papu will be arriving in 3 weeks or so: we have to make the most of being kitten free as long as possible.
