Chutney

I should like to introduce you to Chutney, a cat belonging to my youngest son's family, or perhaps I need to rephrase that, my youngest son's family belong to Chutney. As my grandson told me “you feed, shelter, love dogs, and they look at their owners and think” “they are God”. “You feed, shelter, love cats, and they look at their owners and think” “I am God”
I was sitting in the family's sitting room on New Years Day reading my book, when suddenly a pair of paws appeared at the arm of the chair, followed by a pair of eyes studying me intently. He then looked at the chair and back to me. Chutney was clearly telling me that this was his chair thank you very much and would you please go on your way.  I, however, had no intention of leaving and continued to read - after all age comes before beauty.  At short intervals of time he continued to come back and do the same thing again, and again, until I began to feel quite uncomfortable about depriving him of his seat!!!

  2. Dear Roanna - basically I think all cats are the same, and my grandson's summing up is pretty accurate. We do, however, all love Chutney.

  13. Dear Olive - Chutney does seem to capture the heart.
    I could not believe it when I saw your daughter's converse shoes. My granddaughter wanted me to get blue, and when I couldn't she said she would like Dr. Seuss ones. I search high and low in the UK without any luck, and ended up giving her money to find her own.

  14. Hello Chutney! What a beautiful cat he is Rosemary. He also appears to be sporting a rather fine moustache, splendid!

    1. His does have a moustache, but slightly lopsided - not such a good specimen as yours Bertie.
