More Jake pics
Not in the mood for chatting today, so instead I will show you what mischief a cat can get up to given the chance.

Tagged
I have been tagged by PlantBuddy a relatively new reader to my blog and although I don't usually 'do' tags I thought that I would do this as its a relatively quiet time of year. You will find my '8 Random Facts' amongst my post, so here goes.
Can you believe we have had Jake 3 months on Monday! 12 weeks 5 days to be exact. He does make us laugh, but is oh so stupid. I mean which cat happily sleeps in the basket that takes you to the vet!!!!!
1. The first snow we had after passing my driving test, my then boyfriend took me to a huge car park and taught me to skid. It was the business and I still use that skill when needed.
He idolises Tango and where ever T is Jake is close by. Tango used to get annoyed but seems to be getting used to it.
2. I have done a bricklaying course.
The plumber was in yesterday and needed access to our 'soil pipe' which is now in the centre of the house, so much furniture moving and removal of false walls ensued, which Jake thought was marvelous.
3.I used to wear a patch and glasses as I had a lazy eye!
He cannot open a door, he pushes his nose against it then puts his head through, panics and reverses at great speed and then repeats the process.
4. I was a Pixie in the Brownies.
He does love to play and has a pile of toys in T's room, he hadn't seen them for a little while due to her accumulation of 'stuff' when I uncovered them the other day and he was so pleased he rolled in them!
5. I have worn ‘Hotpants’!
He and Sassy do not get on at all and he does try very hard to dominate her he has two main positions he likes to take to do this, one is on the stairs, here he stops her from going up stairs
6. I have broken both my ankles twice.
He does not go out alot and still uses the litter tray, I'm not too worried and will ween him off it next year when the warmer weather returns. His other favourite 'power' position is just inside the cat flap so he can dictate who comes in. I must admit we find this abit worrying but I shall read my books to see what is advised.
7. I did an electronics course at college and built my own radio.
Although he is not the brightest cat on the planet, I know he adores T. Likewise she adores him. When she is in her room he sits outside her door and meows, you hear her get up and let him in, chatting away to him.
Prior to Jake she had been exceptionally unlucky with her pets, her cat was run over, her Rat, had to be put down as he had something go wrong in his head and her rabbit broke its back! He responds to her, will come when called by her he totally ignores the rest of us and acts as if we talk a different language! lol!
Anyway for more on Jake watch this space.........
8. I met my husband at a party and knew ‘he was the one’ he didn’t phone me for 2 weeks after. Apparently because he was getting rid of the others!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I am supposed to tag 8 other people as I like so many blogs (see my sidebar)then please consider your self tagged, and if you would like to join in I would be honoured if you mentioned it was me that tagged you. It would be interesting to hear 8 random fact about you to!

Sooooooo Warm!
Woodlands World Sauna here!!!
Its mild outside and the Rayburn has gone bonkers, so I am in a strappy top and cropped light weight trousers and bare feet! We toyed with letting it out at the weekend, but with the continual rain it gets mighty damp and the washing would never dry. So we soldier on and keep all the windows open.
Mind you according to my other residents its chilly and they need to stay warm!
oh sorry did I disturb you Jake?
close enough to the radiator Sassy?
What are they like and they have a permanent fur coat!! Tango is out and about at the moment!
Whilst I was looking out the window this morning I saw this...
can you see? You may need to click on it to enlarge it. At the top of the Leylandii (Big Xmas Tree). The heron!! Didn't visit my pond as its well netted to stop the leaves haha!

Jake
Why is it that 'tuxedo' cats can have a really evil look?
Jake is such a sweetie and adores T. He is calming down alot now and eats downstairs, the litterbox is also downstairs by the door, which he uses with regularity then goes outside!!!!!!
But
The really good news is this
his tail, its got hair on it again. When he first came to us it was bald and he chewed it to pieces. Now he hardly ever has a go at it!
Now lets see how clever you all are, any idea what this is?
Well I shall tell you tomorrow and what I will be doing with it!

New Neighbours!
We met our new neighbours yesterday.
They belong to our friends and neighbours with the chickens I look after.
They have yet to be named.
Are both girls
and are rescued 'feral' cats.
apparently there is still one left to be homed
and as you can imagine my girls suggested we went and got it, saying Dad would never notice as its so small!
Meanwhile Jake was catching up on his beauty sleep
in T's bed!!!!!!!!

My 30 Day Challenge
Day one of my 30 day challenge. To post every day of November.
Here goes.........
Today I had to clear the ironing pile in K's room as she is coming home tomorrow for a week. I use her room for the ironing and whilst in there I found where Jake has been sleeping recently!
He had made a cosy bed on her pillow and as you can see I've popped some coat hangers on there!
He also likes to get under things, like the Zebra cover, as you can see that is all rucked up and then during my ironing marathon he decided to get under the pillow!! Definately not your usual cat!

Autumn is Here!
I can tell when autumn is here not only by the changing colours of the leaves, or the low hard sun in the sky but by looking round my garden
My Caster Oil Plant, I can still remember the first time it flowered, I believe two years ago on this blog, since then it has been dug up cut back and re-planted and this year yet again it shows me its different developments of its flower..
It always flowers at this time of year, and I love it because it is so different to anything else I have in the garden,
I was given a tuber of this flower Impatiens tinctoria (I believe)
yes there are other types of 'Bizzy Lizzie' lots and lots I have the book to prove it! This one is currently 1 metre tall and flowering away merrily, a sight for sore eyes at this time of year!!
My tree ferns have loved our awful summer and have grown amazingly well, I will stuff the crowns with fleece and leave them to there own devices this winter. This is the small one
and my bigger one has masses of fronds
A sure sign of colder days and nights is I can find the cats relatively easily
Jake's favourite position is half in and half out of the cat flap, I have yet to get a pic but I will
he comes and goes as he pleases now, but I lock them all in at night! Although he is timid he acts quite dominant on occasions, Sassy does not like him at all and avoids him at all costs, when they do meet everyone can hear it. Funnily enough neither Sassy or Tango have given him a swipe, Chimarnie my old cat would have, its all Jake needs, maybe its not in the nature of a Burmese?? Watching him round the house I understand how important a tail is to a cat, he is definitely not as agile.
Sassy likes to be as close to me as she can
sitting on the chair next to me when I'm on the computer. She is so sweet.
Tango is sneezing alot
and is not complaining to much about being shut in, which is unusually for him. I have checked for other symptoms of 'Cat flu' but he doesn't seem to have them, he is drinking and eating so maybe its just the sniffles.
In the autumn I come in from the garden and start to make and do in the home, I have been quite busy so have some nice things to share with you, but not right now. I am away for a few days visiting my mum so will be back next week.
Don't forget the hour changes this weekend!

Cats
As sunday was such a glorius day, and Jake had successfully found the cat flap, plus there where four of us here I though today should be the day when he would be allowed out!!!!!
he had an explore around and kept popping back in for a lie down! Or flop as we call it!
as you can see he is not easy to see
and after more exploring, look at the awful new fence our neighbour has replaced the ivy with!
he disappeared for 5 3/4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not that I was counting of course!
So I tried hard to keep myself from worrying and having an early heart attack!
By moving some plants around to disguise the 'fence'! Quite pleased with this.
Sassy as you can see was not atall bothered
Eventually Jake returned, much to my relief, but then Sassy and Tango stayed out all night so I didn't get much sleep last night!!!
