Now look here…..
…….I've had a really taxing week, what with one thing and another! I don't really want to talk about it! No I really don't!! Ok, so this is what happened:
From Monday to Wednesday there were several strange men in the garden splashing paint, stones and mulch around in equal quantities. It was quite unnerving and not an ideal combination of materials - unless you're Jackson Pollock !

nice and cream! |
|
Need some bedding plants |
|
Some signs of spring |
|
a splash of colour |
Because it's been so freezing cold till now, there has been little sign of spring, but things are now starting to look up!
Anyways, back to my
dreadful interesting week. Where was I? Oh yes! Thursday, I was awoken from some very pleasant dreams and
bundled unceremoniously placed gently into the PTU and taken to
that terrible place of torture the vet. He
grabbed me by my unmentionables and scruffed me up something awful examined me and found that apparently despite me being full of pain (but of course never complaining) that my health was much more tickety boo than I thought and therefore did not need to book a return
match visit for three months. Being the
sadist kind man he is, he still felt the need to
wrench open my mouth and stick his finger down my throat pill me and
stick the needle right through my neck inject me! I, of course, sang loud and long throughout the whole episode, thus making me a strong contender in the "Leading Actor in a Musical" category in the upcoming Olivier awards.
Then there was Friday!!!!! OMG!!! I hadn't even had a chance to recover from the rest of the week! The Staff really needs an intervention. What was she thinking? She invited, yes actually invited, two thugs to come in to the house and smash it up!! I understand she even paid for this. Is she bonkers? I could have done it for nothing, nada, zilch! I have to say though, they were very thorough. I watched it all from the bunker in next door's garden. They removed
the whole side of the house four windows and put in new. Sadly, because I wasn't snoopervising one of the
thugs workmen accidentally measured too short for the sill on one of the windows and this is what happened!

Ooops! |
He has to come back with another bit of board! The rules say he's allowed three goes to get it right ;)
So really I am knackered a bit tired and quite glad the week is over.
Look at the mess. I guess someone had better clear up the detritus!
Hehe!!! Ciao!

detritus - a disease spread by thugs and workmen

What a terrible week you've had - we hope your humans are feeling guilty (unlikely we know)! We'll let you go and snoopervise to see if everything is done to your exacting standards and then take a long luxurious nap followed by a tasty meal. We hope everything is back to normal next week.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That's quite the week you've had, Austin! We hope someone clears up the mess soon or you could, ahem, ADD to the mess and not be blamed for it. :p
ReplyDeleteHoly cats what an awful week...it can only get better. Or maybe not. That rude black cat could move in!
ReplyDeleteThat was quite an awful week, Austin! I hope you're recovered from all the trauma.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor Austin...we sure hope all the repairs are done...its upsetting when strangers come into your home and changing your things. Hope you get to rest soon...XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a week! MOUSES!!!
ReplyDeleteBut... you've got pretty flowers (we had freezin' rain last night which wasn't as bad as the ice storm they said we were gettin') and a peep who knows how to do that neat movin' thing with your picture. That's something, for sure!
Purrs,
Nissy
What a horror of a week! I hope you soon recover and plot a suitable revenge.
ReplyDeleteMom's had a great LOL over your definition of detritus. And we know for a fact that you are currently getting some nice nap time in Mom's lap. So, at least, the weekend is showing some signs of being pretty good. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
ReplyDeleteSuch an awful week you had Austin! I hate it when noisy humans show up too...then the Vet, yikes! I hope you fully recover over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteAustin, you are just too funny. The flowers are really pretty. Hope the Mum straightened out that workman that messed up.
ReplyDeleteSo did you let that vet have it for violating your body?? That is not good.
Hope all of you, well two of you have a great Saturday.
Tale care/
Mr, Austin these workers that disaster ,seem that they measured with a flexible measurer.Happy weekend.In the photo these lovely. Gatiaffections of Merlina.
ReplyDeletePoor Austin!! Sounds just horrible!!
ReplyDeleteAustin, we can't believe what you had to put up with this week with the strangers in your yard and your house and then that awful v-e-t! We hope you take a nice long nap and try to forget about all of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden Austin. Sounds like quite an eventful time for you! Hope your recovery from having to go to the vet's office was short ;)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty, Austin, but ugh what a rotten week you had! I'm so sorry. Men in your house a visit to the vet, a shot...the kitties here both shudder. I think you're due lots of treats to try and forget all the ordeals.
ReplyDeleteLOL on detritus!
That week was ALMOST as bad as mine but not quite. Ack!
ReplyDeleteYou poor poor baby!!! Allie says she feels for you cause she had to go the the vets on Friday too!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's not over that yet!!!!
poor baby!!!
Tell Mom I love the garden tho!!
Austin, buddy! What an interesting week! I am glad that you got that "tickety-boo" repurrt while still sharing your outrage at being bundled off to the stabby place.
ReplyDeleteThat detritus looks pretty fun actually. Did you get to mess around with it?
Holy cat! Who approved all these shenanigans anyway? Not you, we feel certain. We would be fairly knackered our own selves after such trauma. Indeed!
ReplyDeleteYikes, and I thought my week was bad. At least you don't have to see the sadist for another 3 monff'z. Look what thoze thugs have done to your pad Austin..I hope you told them good. Your garden does look pretty :) Try and have an easy Sunday xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Austin you must be exhausted! All that upheavel in one week....and apparently it's not over yet since that wonky workman blew it on the sill measurement. Well, with some luck he'll be back and out of there QUICKLY and you can get back to the peaceful life you OH SO deserve to lead!
ReplyDeleteKitty Hugs, Sammy
Austin, what a horrible terrible bad bad bad week! You were stalwart and stood firm throughout in true Welsh fashion.
ReplyDeleteI hope personal reparations have been made? If not..transport over. I will see to your comfort. There will be brushies involved too.
and I thought that I had a bad week? Wow you really have me beat!
ReplyDeleteToo much of vet and workmen, I see, I see. Pobrecito! Seems your staff has not had the best week either. Hope both of you enjoy a relaxed calm Sunday to recuperate from the week. Paula
ReplyDeleteAustin Dear,
ReplyDeleteLook on the bright side, all the nastiness happened in one week and now yous has months of smooth sailing and catnapping with NO interruptions!
Purrhaps mes should comes over and gives yous a good whapping - er - me meant to say Ear Wash!!
Purrs to relieve your stress and kisses because yous is you!
Nellie
My COD what a week you've had.
ReplyDeleteThugs AND the Vet all in ONE week.
You're going to have to nap for weeks to get over this.
; ) Katie
So... thank goodness the Staff stayed out of your way, then, eh Austin! You know there will probably be some extra compensation for you for all the hard work you had to endure going on around you.
ReplyDeleteAnd those vet people like to see you every now and then to enjoy the glory of your presence, no?
:)
What a week! Hope you can rest and recover....
ReplyDeleteLove,
Moses the Studio Cat
Hope this coming week is better! Hope you had fun at Marg's party - we did and are still resting up!
ReplyDeletecats of wildcat woods
We're knackered from reading about your travails but happy you're okay. We'd love you teach the Yanks more Britishisms. Is that a word?
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Austin, you poor thing. What a cat has to endure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden x
ReplyDeleteAustin Tuxedo! I love that! It's funny, in the first pick with his eyes closed he looks so peaceful, but then with them open ... yikes!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry he had such a distressing week. Going to the vet is always a bummer, although flea-dips were the terror of my house.
I hope things get better next week, Austin!
New follower; great post! :-)
Blech, it sounds like an awful week. Methinks you should get some sardines or something for all your trouble!
ReplyDeleteNubbin wiggles,
Oskar
Oh my gosh, Austin... we had our fur all up in bunches because the human was late feeding us dinner. It was the worst 5 minutes of our life... but wow, we can't even believe what your human put you through!! Purrs from the Zee/Zoey gang!
ReplyDeleteP.S. We forgot to say yesterday how much we loves your gif! The Human learned how to do it but she has totally forgotten (what a surprise, eh?) She thinks it's still on Glogirly's site someplace....
ReplyDeleteOH, yeah. Way to walk right past a mess. We are not here to clean messes...either human or animal.
ReplyDeleteAnd....three goes at it? Very generous. That was quite the mis-measurement.
Those are beautiful flowers. Sorry you had an awful week. I hate going to that hell house. Yuck! I totally get you.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope you gonna have a nice new week!!!
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs!!!!
Oh, Austin, what a traumatic week you've had!!!
ReplyDeleteBut the flowers in the garden are very pretty...
What an awful week! I hope you got some nice treats as a reward for suffering all that?
ReplyDeleteOh Man... and I thought my weekend was bad... I was soooo lucky compared to you!
ReplyDeletehope this week is better....
XOXO Lucy
MOL!!!! Austin, I´m laughing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awfull week Austin !!

My mom nad dad watch the Cowboy builders on TV so we now efurrything about lousy english builders ;-)
XOXO
We are so sorry you had such a terrible time, but hope this week will be much better, handsome Austin...Have a fun Monday and enjoy the week ahead, darling friend...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteWhat a week through that good to hear the VET give a wait till next time. So TLC from Mom would make up for it.
ReplyDeleteAustin, I hope you got loads of treats and bellyrubs to make up for everything you went through!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a stressing week you had ! poor cat ! But you behaved very good concerning the flower in your garden because when I plant flowers Arthur feels obliged to dig them out again to do his very private business because the soil is so soft! yes, vets are a nightmare !
ReplyDeleteSpring moved into Belgium too, nearly from one day to the other !
I went to your friends blog--- Zee's & Zoey's and loved it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!! It is a great blog!!!! I bookmarked it so I could keep up with them.....
I'm loving the garden looks very Spring, Look on the bright side you can now make a mess and blame it on the workmen.
ReplyDeleteSheba.
My goodness! What a week! Go to hear it's all behind you....right? Purrs...
ReplyDeletePoor Austin - teleport over here to Dallas and we will get some BBQ cow and nip whiskey!
ReplyDeleteSassy
We hear St. John's wort is good for that detritus. Better than antibiotics.
ReplyDeleteAw, buddy! I'm bummed you couldn't watch my video! Well, let me tell you: First I gave a disgusted look at the camera, and then I gave another one, an dthen I licked my paw and washed my ear and then I began washing my manly chest. Yeah, that's about it.
ReplyDeleteOMC Austin, I didn't know you are a garden cat! Looking forward to spending more time visiting.
ReplyDeletepurrs,
Jonesie
Wow Austin! That must have been a tiring week!
ReplyDeleteHope your Mom makes sure this week is calmer!
