Saturday 07^thAug 1999

Hi Cool Cats its me again , well the weather here in Blackpool has been so great , warm, infact very warm. Its changed a bit today with rain but its still warm and nice especially in the quite early hours. All is well with the gang, Marmaduke has stayed clear of the other Toms and kept out of the wars. Tilly is her normal self and keeps here self to her self. Truffles is as greedy as ever and keeps putting the food onto mums carpet, much to her disgust. Me, well just great a bit spoked think I might be in love, sure it will pass. We are going on our hilidays soon, mum and dad are off to Turkey and although Big Bri will be at home they do not trust him with us so its off to the holiday digs. Saying that I will try to get another note wrote before we go OK. So till then take care and behave....

Thursday 22^ndJuly 1999

Hi Fellow Felines, well its me again. Yes I know its been a long time, but dads been busy and the web pages have only been resting on a server and dad did not have upload facilities, but now we have moved to our new server (thanks Cableinet) and hopefully it will be faster and dad can update my writings more often. Right, how are we, well Marmaduke is suffering right now with a real sore leg, got into a fight, and the big Tom from, well who knows, got him a cracker, puncture wounds both side and swelling like you have never seen. Dad cleaned him up but ended up taking him to the vets due to the swelling, quick shed full of antibiotics and hopefully he will live. Tilly well just as spoilt as ever sleeps with Mum and Dad every night, and gets away with murder. Truffles well just her same old self quite, sits in the background and jumps on mums lap before anybody has noticed. Me just a cool as before, also just as fat (hey dad I didn't tell ya to put that) but appy. Right on with the work, hope to see ya soon, the GANG....

Saturday 08^thMay 1999

Hi Guys its us again with just a few more lines to let you know we are all OK and are still in the land of the living the reason for the long pause in my writing is as follows, dad has been busy and would not let us on the computer on our own, so there you have it. Well thing have been real great around here the weather has been just great plenty of sun to lounge about in and mum and dad have been real busy in the garden putting up new climbing frames, well that what we think they are, they do not agree, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Marmaduke is well, Ok, he's been fighting several times dad has had to fix him up after one fight real bad cut above his eye but he is as good as gold now. Tilly is a bigger pain than normal she is always taking a swing at one of us and mum and dad just cannot have a night without tilly joining the bed, can see her etting it soon right between the eyes (only kidding). Truffles is just cool eats so much and just does not get fat, I do not understand how does this happen. Me, well I eat and just et fatter!!! Right time to go so till next time take care and be good.

Friday 01^st January 1999

Well Hi Guys its me here just to get 1999 off to a flying start because dad's promised he will do some work this year and keep the site up to date and flying like we deserve being the cool cats we are. Well the Holiday went great Mum and Dad had the Kids around for Xmas Day and dinner went well and guess what we got got some to, but dad is always careful not to over do the rubbish especially at the Holiday Season so it all went well. Now what are we going to be doing this year well there is the garden we have promised dad we will sort out the mess we have made during thes winter months, well its to cold to go far you know the score!!! but we will sort that out later. Dad is going to make a big effort to keep us under the thumb this year by fencing us in, (We will see) Truffle has this problem at the moment she keeps falling off the fish tank were she lays up for the warmth anyone got any suggestions on how we can keep her on top instead of down behind (lol)? Apart from that all is well with the gang so till next time take care and bless you all and PS have a great year....

Sunday 20^th December 1998

Well hi everyone, were all really getting excited here in Blackpool, the tree is up and all the trimmings look real nice, the presents are all around the tree and we are just waiting for the first to dare climb it!!! mind dad has warned the lot of us anybody up that tree and no Father Christmas so its good times all around (but just wait till after Christmas) it might be different!! Well we are all OK not much news, the weather has got real cold now so its in doors most nights, mind the local Toms are on the prowl and Marmies got fed up of fighting them off so we will stay low for a while. Mind we have all had the snip so there will be no kittens in this house, unles dad gets soft next year! Tilly not been her self, think it might be worms, dad is sorting it out now and in the space of aonly a few days she looks better, slap on the wrist for dad for missing that one!! The rest of us are all doing well and looking forward to some extra treats this coming week, but do remember do not let your Human over feed you say NO!!!! and keep that nice coat OK. Right time to shoot off and get forty winks before bedtime so till next time be good and have a great Holiday....

Friday 27^th November 1998

Hi Everyone, I bet you were thinking we had left home well we are back poor old dad has been very busy at work and with Twiggy passing away I think it was a chore just to bring himself to tell the tales, but now we are back the fun can begin. Right how are we well we are just great. Marmaduke is bigger than ever now and has given up trying to learn to ride the bike and, is instead eating his way to Australia, well that what we think anyway, he does not winge as much now and loves a cuddle from Mum at night, in fact we have all taken to sharing the bed with Mum and Dad its such good fun during the cold winter nights not that its cold, but it is fun and Dad's back just hurts like crazy the following day. Truffles is gaining the pounds to, that's when she can keep it in, she eats that much that she makes herself sick just to get some more and no its not funny as I do not get seconds anymore (but then I can alway nip down the road to the little old lady's house who thinks I am a poor old cat) yes you guessed right I am still the fattest cat in the area but my dad likes me, well sometimes!!! In fact that Tilly cat spends more and more time with dad at the moment she helps him on the computer, curls up and sleep while he watches the Cable Movie so they have a real cool time, mind its to wet to do anything else at the moment so the KitCat Club is out of the question possibly till the Spring now I would think. Right now we are back it is hoped to update at least once a month if not more often so do keep coming back OK and we will all catch you soon


Sunday 29^th March 1998

Hi Everyone, well what can I say, first very sorry for the lond break from writing but due to Dads System being updated and now some problems with updating the files to our site (what a time its been) we have not done much, but here we are now, and we are going to try another method of getting the files uploaded at least until things are sorted. Right, how are the gang well we are all OK, Spring as come early to the UK weather as been brilliant, warm for the time of year and apart for the rain its just dandy. Twiggy is getting very big now and is a fully excepted member of the gang, even by Tilly who is just as grumpy with all. We have a kinda new addition although he does not live with us but visits on a daily basis, and sleeps in the Greenhouse, he's OK and is more scared of the gang than us of him, even Marmaduke as taken to him. Marmaduke as now found a cool, well for now, place to sleep he's got a place in the greenhouse so the pair of them look a right couple of charlies lying up fast a sleep. Me well just getting fatter, the vet is going to have a field day when we next go for our visit, but who's worried, its Mum and Dad who get it in the neck. Truffles is OK to no problems with her. Right we will now see if our plan works, and hopefully you will be reading this soon. See ya soon

Tuesday 17^th February 1998

Hi Guys, Well first I must appoligise for my absent or should I say sorry for Dad not having the time to put my writings into print for all my fans to see. But not to worry here I am and Hopefully dads Internet Explorer 4 will stay stable long enough for me to get my Journal finished. Right how are we , well we are all OK, Twiggy is now getting to be a fair size and can hold her own amongst most of us, and what a little bundle of fun she is, it can't stay still for one minute running around like a bombshell but hopefully she will quite down a bit soon. Marmaduke is well happy he as found a new mate to play at fight's with (Twiggy) so it keeps him amused in between the sleep. Tilly is now back to normal and does'nt snarl and spit at poor Twiggy mind she is still a pain. Truffles is much the same keeps her self, to her self and every now and then uses her time to have a run around with Twiggy. Well me how am I, well I am just as fat, it must be the winter, need the grub you know to keep the energy levels up but hopefully as spring comes I can lose some, other wise the Vet is going to kill Mum and Dad. Well what weather we are having what is usually our coldest weeks have in fact turned out to be our warmest since records began so lets hope it is the sign of things to come and we can get back to some cool nights at the KitCat Club. Well mst go so till ext time take care and hopefully it wont be as long next time.

Sunday 18^th January 1998

Hi Cool Cats, Well it seems like ages since I last spoke, what with all the fun we had over the holidays, and watching Twiggy perform, well that is fun in its self. Glad the holidays are over it now means that it will not be long before the weather warms up and we can all get down to some serious sun-bathing and sleeping, doing it indoors is just not the same. Now for a weather update well its bad, not as bad as some, but its just not stopped raining, rain, rain rain and more to come, so as you can imagine we are all getting pretty bored you can only play the same games so many times!!!! Now how are the Gang well, Twiggy is getting bigger she as now been Neutered so don't forget if you have not yet been to the vet let your human know OK. Twiggy will not leave Mum alone it seems like me and my shadow at times, if Mums about so is Twiggy. Her and Tilly are now OK so thats something. Marmaduke is one for the books he as taken to Tiggy like a house on fire they are forever playing at fighting and zooming around the house like mad things, role on the Spring, apart from that he is OK. Tilly is just her normal self grumpy when she is not sleeping, mind she as found the best spot above the wall heater on the stairs, trust her!! Truffles is her quite self either eating or sleeping, mind she does take time to bash Twiggy every so often. Me, well I am me just plain great, so till next time take care and get on the ICQ and chat to Dad.....

Wednesday 24th December 1997

We are all getting really excited ready for the big day which is only a few hours away now, should be fun!!!.

Anyway have a great time, and do not forget to pause and think about all those cats who are not as lucky as us OK see ya after the holidays

Thursday 18th December 1997

Hi Cool Kats, hope you are all getting ready for the Holiday Season, we are here in windy Blackpool, and thats the weather, as well as that moggy Twiggy. It seems she thinks she is a big girl and can eat the big girls food well you can imagine the effect, if not do not ask. Well the weather here is wet and windy they did forecast some of that white stuff, snow I think they call it, thank goodness it did not arrive. Well how are the rest, well Marmaduke is still getting bigger, but he is doing well, I say to soft with the young upstart Twiggy, she keeps giving him the run around, but she does get a thump when caught. Tilly is getting better not to many growls now, so hopefully soon all will be back to normal. Truffles is OK she is just herself, no messing but just as thin as ever. Me well I am on a diet, yes OK I eat too much, and OK I have got the message I promise to shed some wieght. Right hopefull I will get a Christmas Message in over next week but if I do not We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year!!!!!!

Sunday 07th December 1997

Hi Fellow Cats and their pets, so funny, well you lot may think so, you will never guess what Mum and Dad have gone and done, yes they have rescued yet another cat TWIGGY have you ever heard such a name and what a fireball she never stops. Dad is going to get a page up and running soon, I have heard he is getting something called a scanner for Christmas, so hopefully we will all get some new photos up on our pages wonder what we will get for Christmas. Well the weather, we went through a real cold patch last week so nights out where still off the books, infact the fireside was more the order of the day, but you will be please to know its warmed up now but guess what the rain is back you cannot win!!!! The fine food is still coming dad love Christmas, the rest of the gang are OK now we have got over the shock of our new friend, well all except Tilly she is still growling like a cat possesed, sure she will get over it soon we hope? Right time too call it a day so be good and hopefully I will be back before the Holidays OK Best Regards The Gang

Tuesday 25th November 1997

Hi Cool Cats or even wet cats depending on where you live? As you can guess the weather here is pretty wet still, infact as I am writing it is yet again raining, mind I do have lots of sympathy with our friends in other parts of the world who have snow, I hate it, last lot we had it came down for about two days over 4 foot of snow by the time it finished and I can tell you 4ft of snow is a lot for around here I as you can imagine we did not go far although the Ginger furball and his sister enjoyed it, well it was thier first snow. Well news is not to good I over heard Mum and Dad talking about fencing in the Back Garden to keep us restricted. I do not think Tilly is going to like this one single bit!! but better that than an early grave, what say you? Now for the rest of them well Tilly, say no more she is as I heard Ralph (thats Dads Penpal from Canada) say a 6 and a half pound Black Panther that growls, well I think that says it all. The other two are real fine except for the winge bag Marmy, but thats just Marmy I suppose (the Lion King I heard him telling someone the other day) what next!! Well see you all next week, I hope!!

Sunday 16th November 1997

Hi Cats and of course your pets (ha ha) new that one would tikkle the ribs a little. Well what have I got to report this week, well life here in Blackpool is not bad. Dad seems to want to make every Sunday Xmas and keeps the Turkey and Cranberry sauce meals coming, so keep it up dad OK. Well the weather, OK lack of it, well OK so it could be worst, but then the way I look at it is, if god had wanted us to live in such a damp climate he would have made us with webbed feet OK!! You've guessed its not stopped raining for days now, have not been able to get down the KitCat Club for days, well would you I am a Cat not a Duck!! Now for the rest of the Gang, well Tilly is stil driving dad mad and I mean MAD, she will insist on crashing around the house when everbody is trying to get some sleep, then after getting the household up fall's to sleep, bet she gets it soon!! Truffles, well still her old self slinky is not the word, she's now made a bed on the back of the settee, mind only she could fit in such a small space. Marmaduke, he's OK, god only knows what he gets up too, only the other day he came in filthy some black soot or something all over his head, yep you tell me because I have not got a clue, apart from that he's OK. Right till next week keep yourselves happy and you will keep everybody happy.. see ya Molly

Sunday 09th November 1997

Hi Cool Cats from around the world, here I am again with a few more words and our update on life here in the UK. Well dads been having a slanging match with the TV, well the weather forecast anyway, they forecast one thing and dad forecast another and dads normally right, you would think that with all the computer equipment they have they would get it right? Well the time is here now to be spending a lot of time by the fire, in between meals that is. Weve had more rain in the last few days than the last couple of months put together so being a cool cat the fire wins. Right got a cracker here Tilly has found a smashing way of getting the olds to let her out at any hour during the night she springs up onto the bed bounces onto Mum and right over on to dad, and if that does not work she walks right over their heads on the way back, it seems to work!!! mind dad is going to brain or sooner our later so watch out Tilly. Right as for the rest of the gang, well the old winger Marmaduke is getting worst he must be trying to eat for England or something, what a size he's nearly catching up with me and thats going some. Truffles well she is the same old girl Mums pet!! always get what she wants!! Right guys time to go I can here the tin being openned and its Turkey and Cranberry sauce today, dad thinks its Xmas, greatttttt...
Saturday 1st November 1997

Hi Cool Cats , well sorry if you have missed our journal but we have been on a short holiday to the local cattery while the human's went on a trip to Southern Spain. Well first the stay in the cattery, not bad me and the black queen slept in one bunk and Truffles and Marmie in the other one, guess who got the bed in our bunk, yes you got it, soon put Tilly in her place. Mum and Dad picked us up the day after they gor back, sure it did not take long too get my own back, mind had to wait a week but it was a cracker. I sneaked into the clothing cupboard in the masters bedroom, well come bed time I could hear them shouting me outside, checking the shed, infact all night off and on dad was up and down, left it till 0550 before banging on the cupboard door his face was a picture, but I sure did have a great kip, more than can be said for dad. Till next week rest well, the gang
Sunday 21st September 1997

Hi Cool Cats from around the world, I am getting use to this journal lark now, but it does help if I pay attention to what is going on around me all the time instead of sleeping, but I can not see things changing in the forseable future. Anyway dad did remember to get the extra food in this week but that has not stopped Marmie from moaning, he seem's to be at it all the time, well until one of them gives in and renders a cuddle, soft thing!!! Dads suffering with a cold this week and Tilly didn't help, on Thursday dad was real bad and it took him ages to get to sleep and just as he dropped off bang Tilly landed on his chest, well dad chased Tilly around the bedroom never got her Tillys far to fast. Since then she has been keeping a low profile but still being a pain, like sitting in the window that mum as left open for all of us to use, so no one can get in or out, trick I think she learnt off me. Truffles well she is her normal self plonking herself down on the TV and allowing her tail to swing over the screen what a laugh they all yell at her and she does'nt even blink, and eat, god I think she must be eating for England or at least trying the only problem is the mess she makes when it all comes back, cool eh. Well about all for this week got too get back out in the sun its a brill day and I must keep up the tan, mind it is getting cooler a night now so the bedroom is the best place for the night kip, See ya all next week
Saturday 13th September 1997

Well Hi here we are again we have all had a good week, especially me I managed to have dad up most of the night when I decided to spend the night down the Kitkat Club without telling him, should'nt laugh. As for my condition well I am at my peak if I say so myself, mum has given me a good brush and my coat is looking its best ready for the winter, which is coming in with a vengence its hard to find a warm spot at the moment dad just will not put that fire on all day for his best mates. The best spot is on the kitchen window and its great fun because if I lay across the open widow non of the rest can get in or out, great fun. Well the Ginger Furball Marmie made a huge fuss during the week, you would think he was starving, dad only forgot to get the Friskies in and not only that the tin stuff had run out too, mind we did get a smashing tin of Tuna instead, but marmie was just not happy. Truffles has found a new spot to sleep right on the top of the TV one day she will fall off I can see that coming, OK OK so its not funny. The Black Witch Tilly is running around the house like something mad, she made a racket when dad would not let her out, he keeps us in after dark, but what a fuss, only thing was after we had all gone to sleep she dropped off and slept all night on big Bri's bed, some girl mind she does think she's something!! Anyway time to go and have a nap so till next week take care and be good
Friday 5th September 1997

Well another week as gone by in my life, another week of yet more fun and games especially the one where I can wake Mum and Dad up in the early hours of the morning now that is fun. Well the week as been one of change gone is the heat of the day and it was replace by the rain and wind of the Autumn but that did not stop me getting out for a bit of fresh air in between naps of course, but then that is the fun of being a cat. I have been using my best kip spot which is on the bench in the front garden here I can take all the praise from the passers by and wait for mum or dad to come home from work, good fun
I had a night out at the KitKat Club on Wednesday, wow what a night all the Queens from the area where there (no ginger furballs were aloud) and we carried on till the early hours, much to dads annoyance he does worry so much, likes to get me in at night (worry, worry). My favourite Football team won on Tuesday, dads really but you have to join in don't you, right till next week take care and god bless.



Molly One of the biggest Cats in Blackpool.....
