Smart Saturday

 Nothing smarter than a handsome sphynx.

And maybe you can admire me further as you do the jigsaw.

Saturday Slacker

At least today's blog is on the right day, even though late. The girlcats have pinned Äiti down and she's doing her job. Just as well she is not so rubbish at feeding us!

Happy jigsawing with Kalle's cute fizzog.

Kalle

Studious Saturday

Otso was on top of the tarting pile for teacher's pet. Shameless. 

Äiti rarely brings her work home - basically becuase we do not let her work.   Sensible really.

Jaava and Veikko 

Swipeday

 No, this is not swiping left or right on some silly app*, this is swiping at string toys. Kalle has discovered these joys.

He loves his playtime and is increasingly relaxed about it.

And just look at those soft little toe beans!

*there is no need for any kitty to swipe right for Kalle - he already has an admirer - Lil'Ebba in Raahe has found a place in his heart and her Humans and Äiti will be passing on treats between her and Kalle. 

Now some of us mancats are not interested in such things - we are too busy with the ol' mancat to mancat stinkeye. Happy jigsawing!

Veikko and Papu

Saturday Snow Patrol

 Otso can be trusted to check the Walls and boundaries.

In the meantime, snug snoozing for me - although there is some degree of excitement in the Felocracy. Maybe we post about it tomorrow...  Happy jiggysawing.

Saturday Shock

 Did hell freeze over? Something has happened surely? Papu and Mesi in the same bed? Well, burmese do stick together!

Papu has been artified here for the jigsaw - enjoy!Papu

Social Saturday

 Indeed, there are ripples in the Felocracy. I am with the furries more, and little Mesi has taken to sitting on Äiti's lap and wanting snuggles and scritches. 

And we thought she would make a very fine jigsaw.

Mesi

Saturday Snuggle Surprise

Äiti had to do a double take when she saw this. Yes, I am indeed in close proximity to a furry feline. Jaava is a noble peacemaker and friend to all of us. She had no worries about sharing a brand new beddie with me. As I am spending more time with the others, Äiti thought a new place to snuggle would be good and she chose something big enough to share, thinking that after a few days maybe I would be joined by another kitty. Well, Jaava and I were snoozing together within an hour, and Äiti had a big smile as a result.

And here is the jigsaw - a bit abstract but it shows off my tailio well. Enjoy.

Shiny Saturday

There are flocks of stinky birds in the gardens, and the less clever ones venture onto the Catio, and can even crash against the window glass. Äiti bought some special stickers for the windows to try to stop them from doing this. We of course do not approve, as a stunned snack or two could be yummy. But we do like the rainbows the stickers produce as the light refracts through them! So soothing on the fur. 

Enjoy the puzzle!Jaava and Jura

Saturday Sparkles

For a few years Äiti has been using some of the former-felocrats cremains to adorn her scraggy neck. She has had them made into glass beads, and this week the latest bead arrived - Seppo's.  She now has seven - yes, we have had more who have Gone Before, but these are the ones she especially keeps close to her heart.

The beads are made by an amazingly talented, kind and helpful artist in the UK, Gail, who runs the PainintheGlass Etsy store. Totally recommended.

And in the meantime, back on the Catio, we are focused on enjoying life with a little packet of kissanminttu which Jaava is about to steal from Papu.

And here is the artified jigsaw. Enjoy.Jaava and Papu

Saturday Snorting

We have had a special delivery of kissanminttu and valerian. Our responses vary. Jaava savours the experience.

 Otso is very laid back.

Papu is wild.

And luckily I moved too fast for Äiti to get a camera when I was inhaling! Instead, enjoy the weekend jigsaw of me all artified.

Saturday Sadness and Thanks

Loyal readers, we thank you for all the messages of support regarding Seppo's passing. We are so darn sad about it all, especially my good self as I spent all my time with him in the Sphynxie Suite upstairs. I miss my buddy.  

As you may know, we nekkids are very susceptible to HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and although scans can be clear, the can be nasties lurking in our genes. Äiti took swabs of our cheek cells to send to a huge research project in the USA. Äiti does not want to know really if I have a mutation that might lead to it, as it is not treatable and illnesses manifest in many ways. Seppo became really fat with fluid, and had notother clear symptoms. Sadly this fluid build up (the dreaded ascites) very rapidly led to his death. He was in very good spirits until the end (Äiti was adamant he would not suffer), and his sweet nature still shone through. So did his appetite - he was pigging out on 5 pouches a day. 

He was also very snuggly, and we spent a lot of time together. 

Apologies for the poor lighting and dirty blankies - we sphynxies do like to spread our oils around!

This is one of Äiti's favourite pictures from last week.

Seppo was getting a few white hairs on his forehead - a fine mark of the wiosdom of age. However, 10 years is really not enough of an age for his life - we of course wanted many more healthy times with him. But, we are all grateful for the time we had.

Now Äiti is trying to get me to spend more time with the other Felocrats which will be fine by me provided they keep their teeth in their own mouths and claws sheathed!  And of course I get Äiti to myself over night - so I get lots of playtime and cuddles there. She is also thinking of buying me some fishies to watch - how does that sound ?

And here is a jigsaw for your weekend pleasure. Thank you all again for your support.

Saturday Supplement

 Here's the jigsaw!

Veikko

Sibling Snuggle

 The most senior Felocrats (in age) began life together like this, and will still merge inseparably. 

Papu does not usually snuggle to the others. Unless he wants to of course. happy jigsawing!Papu

Saturday Slurp

Jaava is very keen to eat up all the leftovers from Äiti. She is wanting to steal whatever she can, seeing as Äiti stole the meal she caught for herself yesterday.  Not fair doesn't cover it! And no, she will not look at the camera.

And here is Wednesday's picture artified and jigsawed up. Enjoy.

Otso

Saturday Sequence

The best exercise is the sort that is done unnoticed - like a tussle with a fellow Felocrat. Papu and Otso are great at this: Papu does the sit ups and Otso crushes him.

Now when this is artified, this really gives you Loyal Readers a great jigsaw work out. Enjoy.

Otso and Papu

Sweltering Saturday

 We have had some heats here in Finland (N).  There has been much opportunity to appreciate it, and no one has done this better than Papu - flat out in the hammock.

He knows how to relax, for sure.

And here we have the jigsaw for you to enjoy. And no, it's not of Papu - it is the artified picture from Wednesday: the one of Sir Chonk-a-lot! Tee hee.

Saturday Sulk - Again

Papu is not happy. Firstly, he has a camera in his face when he wants to chill in the hammock. Secondly, he is being harrassed by a vile red furry rat-thing - one of the squirrels. Poor Papu is being mocked by one of these little varmints who sits on the catio wire, out of paw reach. The squirrel clucks and chatters as Papu's ego shatters.  One day, though, the tide will change....

At least humans chill out with a jigsaw puzzle..... enjoy!

Saturday Sulk

A late post - guess who abandoned us to go watch stinky birds? She was not happy to find various parts of a birdie indoors when she got home,. We call it revenge.

But sadly no original photos today, just Sampo looking severe. The jigsaw is here though - enjoy!

Sunny Saturday

It is sunny, but there is still a cold wind. That's why I have my sweater on - ignore what Äiti says about it gives me more confidence and protection from biteys from the more feisty furry felocrats. 

And further down the garden, in the snack dispenser, our future investment is growing - daily.

Maybe Äiti will get miore gifts?  She nearly got another squirrel last week but Otso dropped it - twice! Now that has seriously ruined his reputation as a mighty hunter.
