A Real CATastrophe!

They say all bad things come in threes and in my family it was no different. I know I have already mentioned the passing of my Grandma and Granddad. But there is a furry friend i have not mentioned. My little sweet cat Angel disappeared without a trace back in January before I went to China. It was the beginning of a series of unfortunate events.

My brother let her out the door one afternoon and she was never seen again. Its a real mystery. We put up Missing posters everywhere around the neighborhood. and got a few tip offs she was spotted here there everywhere but they were all false alarms and false hopes.

We even had some bizare tip offs, such as a crazy cat lady has been going around your town stealing cats, You should look into it. No lies cat napping really has happened and the lady got her cat back.

Another tip off was that a bunch of cats have moved into an abandoned shed behind the local church maybe you should check there, my Dad was the one to follow that lead and managed to sprain his leg climbing over the fence! Hes not as agile as he used to be ! lol.

But with all the tip offs in the world we are still no closer to solving the mystery of where in the world did Angel go?? Have any of you reading this ever had a pet go missing? Did you get it back?

RIP, Hope your in a better place now.

My darling Angel

Today me and my boyfriend went out for a wander to go and have a look and watch all the rides down at Bray seafront. Its funny most people find it really boring to watch other people enjoying roller coasters and rides. Or some people find if they watch them for too long they lose their nerve. My boyfriend is the biggest baby when it comes to rides he has rules

1 Not too high

2 Not too fast

3 Not too spinny

4 Not too short

5 has too be room for 2 people (me and him to sit together (actually thats my rule haha but he likes it too)

Anyway today was our second day watching the rides and I thought we would at least pick one to go on today but it didn't happen, My boyfriend said he wants to save himself til St Patrick's Day and he will go on whatever rides I like. YAY!!!

I remember one St Patrick's day when I was younger I went to the carnival with my friend Tim from my badminton club and his Dad. Tim was extremely brave and courageous, and I didn't want to seem like a baby so I let him bring me on almost every single ride at the carnival. Even rides my friend Anna wouldn't even dream of going on and thrust me that's saying something she is mental about rides! When I was 12 this was a really big thing to me lol.

Anyway after we finished watching the carninval, Me and my boyfriend headed home and decided to walk a route we don't normally take and as we were walking along I heard mew, mew and looked down and there was the most adorable cat peeping out behind the fence.

I stopped to say Hello as you do and out she came mew mew and my boyfriend told me to keep walking but I didn't and started petting her, I am absolutely fearless about cats but dogs that's a totally different story (i'll talk about that in another post.)

Anyway after i petted the cat she wouldn't leave me alone and followed me down the street and then I crossed the road and she still continued to follow me then i said shoo, shoo go home, good girl, she still wouldn't listen to me and continued to mew mew. Eventually the cat got interested in something else and I lost it. Then as we continued walking home. Me and my boyfriend had the following conversation

Me: We should get a cat !!

Him: When we have a house

Me: Nooooo Please Please Please

Him: Can we get a dog?

Me: Noooooooooo

End of discussion

Anyway days like today make me really miss my Cat my darling Angel, Shes not dead! She just lives at home with my parents... :( but I really miss having her when I'm staying at my boyfriends appartment because its too quiet when its just us. and cats are such beautiful and elegant and soothing animals. They alleviate all your worries,
