Mopeds and Cats


What's been happening here in the last week? My daughter finally got her license and bought herself a moped to get to work. It's been good for her confidence.


I had to rescue Tiger from one of the fence posts outside. sigh. Of course mummy will wait on him hand and foot.



And I can't believe these 2 are sitting on the same windowsill without sniping at each other. Of course it had something to do with birds on the grass. Now that we are into Spring we are still having cold nights but warm days with frost outside in the mornings. But....we have some sad news. Unfortunately Floki was hit by a car a few days ago while trying to cross the road. He was the only one of the 4 cats that was still young and wandered. As much as we tried to stop him wandering we couldn't watch him all the time. Luckily the lady that hit him stopped and let us know while apologizing. Its just one of those things right? So we are trying to adjust to having 3 cats and not 4. RIP Floki.

We used to have four cats back in the 90s and they got along fine. Also had three dogs so we had a full house. They all got along and had their own way about doing things. It was fun to watch. Sorry to hear about the loss of Floki. Nice moped your daughter got, hope she enjoys it.

Tiger looks regal! It is down a memory lane to ride a moped!

Tiger looks confused on the fence. Perils of sitting on the fence 😉
Sorry to hear about Floki.

Poor Floki. It's a sad day when a pet dies. Harder still if it was killed by a car.

Congratulations to your daughter. I started .you time as a road user on a small motor bike. The freedom it gave me was a feeling I will always remember. So sad to hear of the demise of Floki. Losing a pet it always hard.

Freedom! Your daughter will hopefully really enjoy being able to get around like that.
RIP Floki.

I feel your loss as we have lost 5 cats over the years at traffic.

Amy - I am so very very sorry to read that you lost one of your feline family is such horrible circumstances. We know the heartache, and it could only be worse when it is a young cat with so much for you all to look forward to. Hold the others close and feel their warmth. xxx Tigger's Mum

Oh poor Floki -- I'm so sorry. That's a really fun looking moped, congrats to your daughter... nothing like the independent feeling of being able to drive "all by yourself." (I was late in getting my driver's license also and I actually remember that feeling...it's still been a looong time ago!)
