FELINE IN NEED OF A MEDIA MONDAY POST AS GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER.

Apologies>>>> Sorry that this Media Monday post is a day late and that I've haven't been stopping by your blogs as much as I usually do.

Though our legal battle continues thankfully our heating and hot water has been restored after all almost five month without but as this proved a longer job than expected I have been away from home (and the computer) for a lengthier period than was anticipated. 

Looking forward to catching up with you all really soon, PW <<<<

Online Mog blog?
A postman is recording all the cats he encounters on his morning round in a 'mog blog'.

And whilst on the topic of chickens, how EGGstraodinary is this?

Nice Pecks 2013, a calendar produced by the Happy Egg Company, will be ruffling feathers with hens, who are said to feel calmer and safer in the presence of cockerels, after more than 100 cockerels ‘auditioned’ to have their photo taken in a series of seductive and alluring poses by fashion photographer Nathan Pask. Among them were cockerels in a bath full of bubbles and surrounded by rose petals. More

Puss Goat In Boots ......
