Good Afternoon from Gizzy Whizzie

Hello - Hello friends of the Idgie the Cat blog! This is Gizzy Whizzie here tuning into the Idgie the Cat Techno Waves on this rainy ol' Easter Monday.

Now don't you get your fur all fluffed up with strife, Idgie is very well but may have slightly over done it at The Clumps yesterday. You see..the Hot Cross Bun Machine got clogged up with fruity currants n candy peel late afternoon, so Idgie crawled up the suction pipe to clear the blockage but due to Idgie having already tested many of the Hot Cross Buns she herself got stuck. There was a big ol bulge in the piping, but with help from Atticus, I crawled along with my spanner and managed to unbolt and unbung it. As lovely as it was to have so many buns this year I for one can safely say I don't wish to see another  Easter Hot Cross Bun until next ....Christmas... as you know that's when they will appear in the shops!

Er what feeds Idgie scooped her up  and the last words Idgie muttered before dozing off was...

Keep me warm...Keep me fed...Let me sleep upon your head....

So there endeth the Easter Bank Holiday . I know Idgie (if she were awake) would wish you all well in your nesting materials and Cheerie-pip 'til next time.

Over n Out.

Hot Cross Buns!

Happy Easter dearest friends, I hope you are all very well and that the Easter Bunny has left you something sweet to nibbley nibble on. I received a catnip egg that WAS wrapped in a beautiful sparkly purple wrapper..yum yum.

Now I will tell you what we have all been up to since sun up. As you know Atticus has designed a special Easter Invention for the Bongo Drumming Bunnies - The Kit Kat Gang have been acquiring the peculiar array of parts that match his drawing specifications.

The oven has been borrowed from Boo Boo Massoue who is very excited and happy to help us.
However, the gas bottles were a little tricky to acquire but Jemmy and I went by cover of darkness into the Happy Clappy Sunshine Caravan Park where the Vicar is staying and whipped two large gas bottles and rolled them away.

Jemmy and Gizzy borrowed a tank from a few of our heroes and transported all the things up the steep hill to the Clumps Woodland, they had sourced industrial sized packs of flour, butter and mixed fruit.

Whilst we assembled Atticus' invention, The Mystical Moon Worshipping Bunnies did colourful egg rolling and played their Bongo Drums. Boo Boo Massoe arrived a little later after adjusting her daffodil Easter hat and enthusiastically accompanied the bunnies on some bright pink maracas.

AND NOW the Grand Opening of The Raining Hot Cross Bun Machine...Tah-Dah!!!!

Isn't it amazing! Atti wanted to tell you all the complicated algebraic formula's and Pythagoras involved but he was way too busy legging it about with our fishing net catching raining Hot Cross Buns. In tabby cat language I heave - hoo the mixed dried fruit and other ingredients with the spade from the rectory shed into the tumble drier. Tatty Mudflinger pedals as fast as he can to generate the power to mix it all up. The mixture is then sucked up into the tank where Gizzy Whizzie rolls n crosses the buns which are then sucked up into the gas oven. The hot cross Buns are then fired missile style up into the Um-Pa Pa Horn and zoomed high into the air for all of us to catch !

Wow - What a lark it's been!! I'm a bit puffed out!

What a super Easter and I hope you all have a very happy day!!

Although, I have heard the good news that Tatty's "chicks" have hatched ...

He He!...but as I always say...you need to watch your whiskers out there. Taa Taa!

Atti & Tatty

Good Evening dearest friends and thank you very much for tuning into my whisker waves.

I'm rather excited about tomorrow as Jemmy Jim Jams is preparing something explosive for Easter Sunday up at The Clumps on the hill. The Mystical Moon Worshipping Bunnies believe Jemmy to be THE Easter Rabbit. They provide such an excellent Bongo Drumming Communication Network for the Rabbit Mafia - Jemmy is happy to be their mystical leader once a year.

Due to the recent Inter Burrow Bongo Alert System being very successful at warning Soapy Suds Junior of the Raid on the family laundry business, Jemmy felt it fitting to thank the Bongo Drumming Bunnies for their loyalty by providing some exciting entertainment.

Jemmy went to see our own dear ol' Professor Atticus Caticus and asked him to invent a secret Easter Surprise for the bunnies. All I can tell you dear readers is the Kit Kat Gang will be assembling the invention early in the morning, so if you want to know what Atti had designed - tune into my whisker waves when the birdies n busiers start at sun up tomorrow!

Due to some recent fuel problems Jemmy Jim Jams has flogged almost the last drip of schnappsie fuel. Tatty Mudflinger has been getting prepared to knock up the next dangerous whisker twanging fur frizzling batch of what was originally a killer moonshine! Tatty was on his way home from the barn and he met Monty 'the bargain' Grabba who is a ferret acquaintance of Jems from the pub. He sells knock off stuff and can get anything you could ever wish for ...anyway, he was in an alarming flustery rush and he passed a small checkered handkerchief with three eggs in it to Tatty Mudflinger and said he could have them all for free!! Tatty didn't have time to say thank you as Monty had legged it down the embankment and away.

Tatty could hear rattling from inside the eggs and he thought he would take them home to hatch. Lavinia  and the Marmalade kittens would love to see the chicks hatch out he thought so he was rather pleased with himself as he meandered his way home for his tea.

Now...don't forget to tune in tomorrow dear friends to see what Atticus has designed for the Moon Worshipping Bunnies, it'll be fun!

Sleep well in your nesting materials and cheerie-pip for now.

Thank You Dr.Lee

Good Afternoon dearest blog readers - I do hope you are all very well on this Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

It's been an eventful few weeks!

Jemmy Jim Jams the Mafia Godmother was informed via the inter-burrow bongo drums just a whisker in time that the Mafia Laundering Business up in York was about to be raided!

The laundry business was being run by her young nephew known to us all as Soapy Suds Junior who is a small black n white bunny very much like the gaffer.

Just before the raid Soapy managed to scarper under the back hedge with his washing basket, powder n pegs. As he scampered, he was hampered by the large soap powder box which was trailing powder for the Rozzers to follow. Flinging the pegs and laundry basket in the air he ran across Hob Moor and dived breathless and frightened into a thicket beneath a holly tree.

The heat was on but fortunately for Soapy a certain kind person known as Dr. Lee was crossing Hob Moor. After careful negotiation of barb wire and holly prickles Soapy Suds Junior was securely stashed up the good doctors jersey and has been moved to a safe house!

Thank you very much indeed Dr. Lee for your kind intervention and rescue of young Soapy Suds and rest assured that you are now considered one of the family and under rabbit mafia protection!

I will be blogging again this evening so keep tuned in and see you soon! Ta Taa!

I Do

Good evening dearest blog readers, I do hope you are all very well on this foggy ol' night. Things have been really busy!

I'm very pleased to let you all know that good ol' Tatty Mudflinger proposed to Lavinia and she said YES!

I was very  busy last week sorting out the catering to help Tatty and Lavinia with the food for the special feast. Gizzy and I had a bit of luck and caught a super big Salmon. We had a real struggle to get it home without being spotted!!

Obviously I organised lots of other delicious treats but I had a real ace card tucked in my collar, I have a very good friend who is a Royal Corgi and lives at Buckingham Palace. He has got Michelin Star status in cake making and decorations and very kindly made the most fabulous cake for this lovely occasion!

Jemmy Jim Jams kind of put her paw forward to be Tatty's Best Bunny and took her job very seriously in making sure Tatty didn't go AWOL on the big day! Due to differences of opinion, we avoided the church and visiting the rectory. Instead Jemmy went up to The Clumps woodland to Boo Boo Massous hut and the big jolly bunny was over the moon to be asked to do the mystical love ceremony in the tree cathedral. All the bright cheerful daffodils are out and the the buzzy busiers are in the hedgerows. The mystical moon worshipping bunnies played bongo drums and sang along with all the woodland birdies.  Love Love Love is in the air and Spring is upon us all - what a perfect time of year for Tatty & Lavinia to say 'I do'.

Well the big day came and Atticus took this photo after the ceremony....

 Ahhhhhhh - isn't that lovely!

Taa taa 'til next time.

Oi! Casanova

Good afternoon dearest blog readers ...its been a rainy ol day, we had snow again too but its all gawn n melted now. I hope you are all safe and warm in your nests.

Jemmy Jim Jams and I were having a early morning cuppa discussing Mafia Business, mainly about depleating stocks of Schnappsi Fuel and the horse racing. That's when Petunia phoned from the Sty to let us know Lavinia ( Mum of the four Marmalade Kittens) had been taken into hospital.....

The house fire and the worry of bringing up four very bouncy marmalade kittens as a single Mum had all been too much. Jem and I shot over to see Lavinia in hospital, she was so tired and we soon found out some BIG NEWS! Lavinia was also going to have more kittens!!! Omigawd - I saw Jems paw start to twitch which is never a good sign and we exchanged wide eyed anxious looks. Jemmy hopped down from the hospital bed assuring Lavinia that everything was going to be alright.

Now dear readers, I knew due to my telepathic survival skills that Jemmy was off to Tatty Mudflingers barn to have a word.... (gulp!)

Tatty Mudflinger was suddenly Judo flipped into the straw and found he was being sharply poked in the shonk by the small white paw of the Mafia Godmother. She said " Oi ! Casanova I want a word with you!!!!".

Tatty had always been madly in love with Lavinia and it was common gossip how much he looked like  the Marmalade kittens. In fact, Angus the kitten was his double! Tatty was always out and about with the little ones and he loves them all very much.  Tatty Mudflinger kind of shirks being a fully responsible Dad and he is often found dozing in the straw or twanging a banjo. We all love him, Lavinia loves him but he never ever manages to tell her!

Now I'm not sure what Jemmy said to him in the barn  (gulp...nobody will ever know) but soon after he had dived in the bath with SOAP!! Also just where he got the beautiful diamond ring from is a mystery to most.... but just between us dear blog readers it looked like one of the rings in the Bunny Bunker Jewel Safe.

Anyway...Tatty announced brightly that he was going alone to visit Lavinia in the hospital and he looked very smart indeed, his ear 'oles n paws were a lovely soft marmalade colour rather than muddy. He held a big bunch of roses and a little box in his paw and we all waved him off...

...well I did. Jemmy was cross pawed and in a menacing kind of stance and fixed her big brown peepers on him.

Now for the sake of Tattys health I hope he goes straight to the hospital to see Lavinia coz if the ol' rabbit finds out he has gone a wandering freely n floaty in the daffodils ..all merry whatsit will break out!!

Taa Taa

Super Heroes

Good Evening dearest friends, sorry I have been off the whisker waves - its been all drama - its just like the TV! I've been on nursing duty again but go make yourselves a cuppa tea and settle your paws down and I'll tell you all about it.

As you know last week Jemmy Jim Jams the Mafia Rabbit was throwing a Fancy Dress Party and the Kit Kat Gang had all been busy working on their costumes....here we are...

I'm meant to be Xena the Warrior Princess but my little tabby legs were too short for my costume, Atticus is Dumbledore the Wizard, Gizzy Whizzie is Wonder Woman and good ol Tatty Mudflinger is Batman.

I thought we had all done really well and were just setting off to the party when the phone rang.

It was awful news, whilst we had all dressed up as our heroes there was a REAL EMERGENCY!

Lavinia and the four marmalade kittens had a house fire. First on the scene had been the Chief of Police. He had bravely legged it into the house and rescued three marmalade kittens and his tail was smoking.

Sergeant Wilberforce had run into the burning building next and rescued little Angus who had been trying to reach his Mum.

By now the house was well alight and flames were wild. There was a nasty dark feeling and everyone watched in horror.  Suddenly through the smoke and devastating sight who should appear.....

Hmmm....well at first nobody was sure! It was Darth Vader, it seemed in the worst Fancy Dress costume ever in the history of the world. On the top was a black water bucket for Darth's helmet and the whole black tarpaulin cape was clip clopping along....

The big dark object shot off at speed into the Rectory garage and came back with a long ladder.  There was a great galloping swirl as the big black tarpaulin flew off to reveal Sherbert, the Race Horse and Jemmy Jim Jams with a bucket on her head!

Sherbert galloped up the ladder in his fruitgum flyer leg warmers and Jemmy smashed the upstairs window with her Light Sabre. Lavinia was so frightened but overjoyed to see Sherbert and the kittens Godmother wearing a bucket on her head. Lavina hopped onto Sherbet's back and I am extremely happy to tell you that everybody is safe.

I've been busy changing the bandage on The Chief of Police tail and Jemmy Jim Jams is sorting out a lovely new home for Lavinia and the marmalade kittens, as she is their Mafia Godmother!

I picked up the local Herald newspaper and look! There are some real Super Heroes on the front page.

Sleep well in your nesting materials and Ta taa
