World Cup Final 2006


Cecilia, the scourge of the household fly - she caught four today - about to sit and watch the World Cup Final. Earlier we all saw Federer beating back Nadal in the Men's Finals, at Wimbledon. So much good spectator sport in one day!

Sociability and games

Cecilia, increasingly known to her friends as Bushka, is a very sociable cat. Although she is less inclined to lie on laps (it is warm these days) she always rests within eyesight or hearing distance of us - she seems to enjoy relaxing to the sound of familiar voices. And she does still love a cuddle or two in the morning.

Her latest favourite game is hide and seek - with us. We let her know we are up for a game by walking away from her, then glancing back at her, before hiding. She either discovers us with a full frontal charge, or she sometimes surprises us by sneaking up from another direction. Sometimes, if we catch her running towards us, she does a comical sort of backwards run - still coming towards us but looking the other way! She really is fun, and we are so enjoying her company and funny antics!
