ONE EMBARRASSING MUMMY!

My Mummy is going to post this blog post on her blog as a guest blog. I best be careful what I say, hey? We agreed it should be the one blog after her stay away. Well this is it....

One Embarrassing Mummy!

My Mummy knits, she is very clever like that. I sit and watch the needles swaying back and forwards; sometimes when I'm feeling playful I will give one of them a playful knock with my paw.

I'm not sure how Mummy knits, it looks so complicated. I think my paws would get jumbled. What with having four paws. Well that's my excuse anyway.

So I sit and watch Mummy happily knitting away whilst I happily sit on her lap, we’re both content like this. Mummy does struggle sometimes I think. Her co-ordination isn't the best due to her Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so she cannot figure out the usual rhythm of the needles and angle; but Mummy has found a way to make it adaptable to her to situation.

At current she is making a baby blanket. It's got lovely colours & textures involved. Although this did concern me slightly being for a baby, I wondered who she would knit for next?

And yes your thinking same I am.

Now Mummy, let's get this clear. I Arnie, with one eye, stocky build, loudest vocalisation you can find, cannot wear knitted garments in this neighbourhood! What would the neighbours think? I'd be a laughing stock among the other cats. Yes it may keep me warm for the winter and it may look pretty but I am male, and I don't want to be beaten up for wearing a cardigan!

And don't think you can knit me something for when I'm inside only. Yes I know I love my blanket that I left Cats Protection with, my multicoloured dream-blanket as we call it, which was kindly knitted by a volunteer we believe, but; this doesn't mean I need I knitted socks, hats, jacket, sleep suit and all fancy attire.

Although if I can put in a request, could I have a knitted multicoloured dream-blanket for my other chair; so they match of course!

So you don't need to source any patterns out for the blanket as they are super easy, right. Unlike if were doing the jacket:

So moving swiftly on, Mummy has another habit apart from knitting for embarrassment. She keeps finding me and saying I'm stuck when I'm truly not. I'm quite happy just resting or playing at the time, but to Mummy I'm stuck. So she starts going weak at the knees  knowing what is ahead. Not whether I be ok, although yes that is on her mind.

In come the fire men and Mummy is there ‘COOOoorrrr!!!’ And wiping the sweat from her brow and falling into their arms.

Let's just say Mummy has a soft spot for those firemen. I'm surprised she hasn't got me well and truly stuck somewhere just so the man can stay longer; I mustn't give her ideas though. Gosh that would be horrid. I hate being carried down or being pulled out of anywhere by anywhere, when I’m ready I will come!

I think Mummy’s mind is made up a little similar to this chart but with firemen in her mind at the same time.

Now how many other ways can one’s Mummy embarrass you? I wonder, well I am starting to count a short list on my paws, but will let her off, if she sticks to agreement on her knit; and I get a secret stash of cat nip.

Sssssshhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone, one the knitted blanket or the cat nip. I do go crazy for the stuff.

Bye.
