FIRST PHOTO-BLOG

Well done... good pics and captions... :o)

Smashing blog Ponty!...You live in a beautiful county....we used to holiday on The Broads until we got too creaky to jump on and off the cruiser!...but have many happy memories, especially the "big skies".....we have them too here in Northumberland.
Loozie looks a real character...I'm just imagining the pair of you racing to the cat flap!!!!..........lol

Great blog Ponty. Well done. Love Loozie....she is adorable. Looks like you have a lot of lovely wildlife sharing your garden. Great photos.

How lovely to see your garden, cat and the wildlife. Enjoyed the blog

Well you've certainly mastered the art of blogging Ponty. Great blog and really lovely pics. Thanks for showing us all the flowery and feathered things in your garden. Loozy looks a real character.

What a lovely blog Ponty :-))

Your garden and flowers look lovely and i can't believe your luck with the Alstroemeria (one of my very favourites!), it must really like it there !
Little Loozie looks very cute, i too have a couple of rescue cats and they certainly can take a long time to settle down, can't they ?

great blog really enjoyed it love your cat too.

Fantastic blog, great pics and that cat!! She looks about as fiesty as the one I had that was a rescue job, she spent a lot of time in bags on the floor as well, not to mention running up the net curtains and a narrow piece of wall. Very enjoyable read, thanks. One questoin though - surely the birds are at risk from your cat when they eat off the ground like that? Or do you keep the cat in - mine would have been out the catflap in a heartbeat with the idea of a breathing lunch...

Made me smile all way :)

Well done Ponty, & welcome to the nuthouse! Loozy is gorgeous!

brilliant blog fab pictures...

i want a moggy too :o(

This is a fabulous blog Ponty !! You've taken to it like a duck to water ! haha Lovely garden, wonderful visitors and Loozy is a babe !! :-))

Great blog Ponty - well done... need to get my act together and create a new one.

Brilliant blog Ponty and fabulous pics, love the mog as well
I also have a rescue cat I wouldn't be without him.

It seems like we've all got rescue cats on here! :o))

Must be because we're all good-hearted people ;-)

I do it because i always feel so sorry for 'the underdog' (or cat!!!) and want to give it a better life.

Super duper blog and great pic's, most enjoyable.

Really enjoyed seeing your garden and hearing about Loozie, she looks as though she owns the place,smashng photo`s,.well done..........

He he love the part about the cat, love the birds too. Love your globe thistle its great lovely blog and captions

Thanks to all of you. I was a bit dubious about the reception it might receive but you were incredibly kind and encouraging.
Bamboo expressed her fear for the birds feeding on the patio. I have told her there is nothing to worry about because the dish is only there when I am on guard inside the open window. At other times it is higher up and the bird table is also not far away. In any case, she has learned not to bother about chasing birds in daylight – they are too spry for her. She just sits and wishes. Monday’s woodpecker was a rare exception. She probably figured that this big green stranger might not be so smart. Wrong!

One of my last cats was a great bird catcher, unfortunately, so she was obliged to wear a bell on her collar. Her sister, though was hilarious - she'd spend hours doing that creeping forward and wriggling thing, preparing to spring, but the birds always flew off well before she actually leapt into action. She once tried it on a squirrel on the shed roof - she did it for so long, the squirrel got fed up, leapt onto the shed roof, gave her a good telling off and knocked her flying... she was fine, just bruised vanity.

LOL! Smudge lost her front teeth last year picking on a rabbit that was bigger fitter & younger than her!

Oh lord, bet she didn't do that again - a rabbit can be quite aggressive.

It wasnt the first time! She used to hunt them all the time til a big buck gave her a beating, & stopped for a while (we were in town after that) here shes decided to hunt, but forgotten she's old & slow now! I havent seen her even look at a rabbit since! And she's scared of birds!

Great blog and photos !
I'm looking forward to the next one :o)

Lovely blog and pics , great.

Came across your blog Ponty and it really made me laugh - as well as enjoy all your great pics and animals....and comments. It also made me wish - all over again - that I had a cat......trouble is that I am already owned by my two Golden Girls....ie labradors!!! Need I say more!!
Looking forward to your future blogs...great stuff!

Lovely blog and cute black and white kitten. Just finished reading about Dewey a ginger long hair library cat, in Spencer Iowa, left in a freezing book drop box as a tiny kitten. Tears and LoL in turn. Made a change from staring at the screen and getting an itchy eye, so compelling this GOY! We have stacks of cats without owning any. A smudgy tortoishell, a blobby black and white kitten who jumps out of trees without a parachute. A big fat black one , and new today, a black and white kitten who is very bold. Spooky ,who has now gorn orf to pastures new........

Thanks all. Golden Labs are good with cats aren't they Alzheimer? Give it ago. The worst that could happen is that the poor Labs get mauled! :))
I don't know anyone who actually *owned* a cat, Dorjac!

Thanks Ponty - but my labs are rather too long in the tooth to learn new tricks...despite what they say about old dogs..LOL
As one of mine is blind already... I will just have to enjoy everybody's pics on GOY instead thanks!!!!!
