Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Here I am relaxing in the lovely warm weather we've been having lately amongst a host of golden daffodils (as Wordsworth would have said).

These daffodils were the biggest I'd ever seen, in fact as you can see I almost got hidden by them being a small cat like I am.

I can't wait until Easter tomorrow, to see how many eggs I get. The only problem is that usually because I'm in a rush to eat them all, all the sticky chocolate gets stuck to my fur, which makes that all messy, and then that results in me usually having to be washed. Which is the worst thing ever! I absolutely hate having to be washed, I try to avoid it by running away and hiding (up the chimney I must add) or if I get caught, I pin my legs to the sides of the bath so they can't force me in.

Anyway, enough of me ranting, I'm going to try and be a good little cat this time and take care and not eat them all at once.

Of course though, Eggs and chocolate aren't the real reason for easter. The most important figure is (although some would argue The Easter Bunny) is Jesus Christ.

So whether you are religious or not, please take some time out over this weekend and think about the real meaning behind this holiday.

Thanks,

Tom.

Final Torquay Pictures

Hello again!

I was tidying up my room the other day, and I happened to come across some photos from my trip to Torquay last year that I never posted.

So here they are...

The picture above is when Simon showed me how to play the game Croquet. Unfortunately for me, there wasn't any sticks my size, so I had to cope the best as my little self could with the giant stick. In the end I had to sit out and watch because I couldn't get the stick between my little legs to hit the ball with. Poor little me :(

Anyway, later the same night, we discovered on our evening walk, this little forest with bright coloured lights shining.

Here's me sitting up in a tree that I couldn't resist climbing.

Unfortunately, being a cat, I forgot how to come down again, so there I was mewing and get upset stuck up in a tree until Simon calmly helped me down and told me 'Not to be so silly.' Honestly! These humans don't know what it's like to be a cat!!!

This picture which Simon took, he reckons makes me look like The Incredible Hulk, I replied back The Incredible Kitten more like!!!

Anyway, there we have, finally you've seen all my pics of Torquay.

Hopefully I won't leave it so long before posting again. You will soon see why life has been hectic for me lately very soon!!!

Bye for now,

Tom.

Tom's Cinema Trip

Hello there!

It's times like this where I'm glad I started my blog because I can express my feelings, and sometimes even though I am quite a small kitten, my feelings are big - huge in fact!

I went to see the film Miss Potter at the local cinema recently. At first I nearly didn't get in because I am small the person on the counter started to serve the person behind me, until I shouted up 'Oi! Down here!' and the person looked down and discovered me. Luckily, Simon was about to help in my time of need.
So after getting our tickets, we went to buy our snacks. I got a kids sized popcorn and Simon got a regular.
Then it was time to get our seats.

I climbed up into my seat, but as I got settled, the seat began to rise up. I was confused, never had something like this happen before. Simon noticed and told me that I must have been quite light in weight so that's why the seat rose up. So he kept his leg on the corner to keep it down.
As the film started, I reached into my popcorn box to get the last pieces and you know what should happen? I fell in!
So there I was with my little paws kicking about whilst the rest of me was inside the box getting covered in buttery goo.

Simon had to pull me out, and whilst the film was still starting, (the opening credits were still going at this point) I licked off the butter and got settled.

The point of this whole blog and what infuriated me the most (it made my fur stand up on end) was the fact that I, Tom Kitten, one of the most famous kittens ever, didn't get a mention in the movie. Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck did, but not me - poor old me. You can't imagine how upset I felt, after being so excited about the film, to get no mention in it. It just isn't on.

Simon got quite concerned for me because I ended up sulking for a couple of days afterwards and wouldn't eat anything. He cheered me up however by getting me to watch the animated version of my story that was done several years ago.

Anyway, I've got some exciting news that I can't wait to tell you. But you'll have to wait until my next blog.

Bye for now,

Tom.

Back soon!

Hello fans!

Hope you all had a good new year! I know I did.

I'm just posting this quickly to let you know that everything's ok, I've just been a little busy as it is mating season for us cats at the moment. In my next blog I will introduce you to someone who is very dear to my heart at the moment.

However, for now please leave me messages to let me know that you are still out there.

Tom.

Christmas Traditions

Hmm, I wonder where today's number is?

Today, as part of my Christmas festivities, I thought I would share some Christmas traditions that take place in our house.

First of all, as you can see above that is my advent calendar. I didn't want any of those ordinary pet advent calendars. I love chocolate, I reckon it's through living with Simon that has sent me choccy crazy!! I love the stuff, so naturally I can't wait until I can open my calendar every day. In this Doctor Who calendar you get either a dalek or a TARDIS on the chocolate, and some days you get little gifts too!!! YAYYYY!!!

Here's me with a Christingle that I have made. A Christingle is a special symbol seen at Advent which reminds us of the love of Jesus. For you fact fans out there, the orange represents the world, the red ribbon represents the blood of Jesus, the fruit and sweets are supposed to be the fruit of the earth and the four seasons, plus the lighted candle represents Christ, the light of the world.

Hope no one's looking so I can have a quick nibble of the sweets!!!

That's all for now, check back soon for more about my Christmas experience.

Tom.

O Christmas Tree...

Merry Christmas Bloggers!!!

Tom here to wish you a merry christmas. Thought it was high time I showed you some of my preparations for Christmas which is - shock horror, only three days away! I am so excited about it all, Simon has almost had to ground me several times, through all the rushing up the chimmy to see if there's any sign of Santa, and scrambling around the christmas tree!!

The picture above was taken at the beginning of the month when Simon was decorating his christmas tree. For some reason though, us cats seem to love trees, most often we tend to scramble high up and then realise we can't get down again. However being an intellectual cat like I am, things like that are beneath me. Although I do think Simon did get annoyed from constantly sitting in the tree when he was trying to decorate it.

He threatened at one point that he would stick me on the top of the tree instead of the star if I wasn't careful. So then, I scrambled down the tree and began helping him.

And here is the result. Good isn't it?

Keep checking back over the Christmas period, as I've got plenty of things to tell you about. Plus on Christmas Eve, you can log on and see me prepare for Christmas day, and a special story to share entitled The Night Before Tom's Christmas.

See you then,

Tom.

Tom's Living Coasts Photo Album

So here I am fellow bloggers, armed with my digital camera and ready to take photos. As mentioned in my blog below about my trip to Living Coasts I said that I took loads of photos of the things me and Simon saw there!

I've looked through all my photos I took and decided to pick out the best to show you. So here they are below...


This was the first exhibit - the penguins. Had to be careful here as they were allowed to roam amongst the public, and have been occasionally known to bite people, so I quickly took my photo and moved on!

I took this as I approached the seal enclosure, here you can see the overview of one area of Living Coasts. I had to get Simon to lift me up so I could get a good view in taking this photo, otherwise being small like I am I would have only got a picture of the fence with some bushes.

Here's a picture of some cute seals that liked to play around on this rock. Apparently they are only babies and are brother and sister. I never knew, before I visited here that seals could honk as loud as these did, they certainly loved their food too!

This almost concludes my Living Coasts Adventure, but to end off the day, I managed to get my photo taken with two new friends I made on my visit...

I'm almost coming to the end of my Torquay trip, but I still have a few more photos to share with you yet!

Love,

Tom.
