So beautiful

I've just seen the most wonderful display of fireworks from my bedroom window. The colours and shapes were dazzling and the noise was deafening, but I'm glad that I was able to see them this year... last year they had moved the location on the heath where they let them off and I had no clear line of view (I don't like to go out alone and leave the house empty and the cats alone... the noise scares them and last year there was a series of burglaries in the street next to mine, thieves taking full advantage of the fact that people were out watching the display).

I sat on the window seat in my bedroom and opened the window and just enjoyed the show. I do feel sorry for my poor cats, though... poor things hate the noise, so I shut them snuggly up in the kitchen and put the radio on playing some classical music to try and muffle the sound... sounds silly, but it always works, lol.

As a treat I gave them some fresh fish that I got in town this morning (I had some, too)... a very good day all round, really.

Hmm

I do believe that my cats have fleas!

I absolutely loathe the horrible, vampiric, jumping things and do all I can to prevent them, but it seems like my attempts have been thwarted.

I do hope that I don't get bitten again, like last time... I seem to react very badly to whatever it is that they pump into you when they bite, and last time the bites came up all swollen and livid looking (and the itching! Nothing would relieve it - it almost drive me mad!)

Seems as if a trip to the pet shop is in order again, either that or the vet - glad I have some money put by for situations such as these, as much as I adore my beloved cats, they seem to go through money faster than children!!
