Basket case Bonnie

When Bonnie first came to our home she slept most of the time in a basket that we had (that Joseph had always ignored). I can't remember when she went off her basket - it must have been well over a year ago - but it then became a place to put her toys when she wasn't playing with them. On Monday night she was digging around in the basket - we thought to find a specific toy, as she sometimes does that and emerges with the toy of choice - but then decided it was somewhere she could curl up and sleep. She was half in and half out due to the many toys in there, but we have removed the hard ones and just left the softies which can be slept on top of. Two nights in a row now, Bonnie has shunned the bedroom and slept all on her ownsome in the basket in the living room - she can't get enough of it.

Seems like most cats like a change of sleeping place every now again, Sophie is back sleeping with Moto who she has ignored now for weeks, never understand them.

I wish Fudge would sleep in one spot for more than a few days, I swear she has a bit of Gypsy cat in her somewhere

Hee hee, wish you could have got a pic of Bonnie half in/half out her newly- found-again basket. I love the imagery I have of her, rummaging around with her toys, then having a light bulb moment of "aaah, cosy basket, hmmm might just have to give this another go"

That is exactly how it was. In fact we did take a piccie but not on digital camera so will have to wait until we finish the film and get it developed. Will post it then as it was such a funny sight.

You wouldn't have seen this one of Teddy, he's the deaf cat we had to rehome Joanne, a big bundle of fluff and madness, but it was your description of Bonnie that reminded me of this one.

Ahhhh, eeeeek "sob"! God, he was bloody gorgeous Kath wasnt he! I quite often think of Teddy (as of course, do you). He was one in a million, like a bloody tornado ripping through your cottage!

I have to add Kath - I have just made that picture my desktop background, I just loved/love Teddy. *swoon*

Oh I miss him so much, don't miss the devastation that greeted us everytime we came home, but he was a character, he would have been alpha cat though without a doubt. I just wish CP would let us know how he's doing, but they don't.

Just seeing him again reminds me of all his antics and puts a huge on my face Kath.

Ian

It's funny how looking at these old photos makes you forget all the distruction and fights he caused, he just looks so angelic.

Sorry to have missed the Teddy years as he really sounds like he was so full of character. He looks like a real sweetheart, but I gather from some of the expressions above that looks can be decieving. Lovely pic, but somehow behind that angelic smille I can spot a devilish grin.

Joanne

Oh yes Joanne you've knocked the naill on the head where Ted was concerned. The main problem was him being on his own all day, being totally deaf he was an indoor cat but loved outdoors, he was found wandering the streets, and whenever I took him out on the harness he would have been off over the wall given half a chance. he loved company so we decided to rehome him with someone who could molly coddle him all day, just hope he's happy.

LOL typical cat you have there joanne one day it's the most fantastic plase to sleep and the next the worlds worst place lol.

I just love that pic of Teddy kath he's such a handsome boy, you did a fantastic job with him and he's now gone to a lovely home (not that your home is not a lovely home but you know what I mean) so don't beat yourself up x

They are funny creatures, cats. I had to laugh at Isis this morning, she was asleep on the back of the sofa while I was sitting on the sofa reading the Sunday papers, and Isla came along and disturbed her slightly. Isis moved and ended up with her back end hanging off the top cushion on the sofa which was very funny. But she didn't stay there long enough for me to take a photo on my phone.
