Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 First before the flashback we remember our much loved Flynn who had to leave us 8 years ago yesterday. Always loved never forgotten.

Flynn 8th April 2020 - 1st May 2017.

This week the flashback comes from January 2011 and is called Camera Cat. Flynn got this post to himself but I will be doing a flashback of Eric with the camera next week.

Yes, you were all right. I was wearing a collar for the first time in my nearly 11 years of life! This is the reason why.

Our friend Emerson won a pet camera in a competition from Skeezix but said as he was indoors only he thought we would get more interesting photos than him.
Mum decided I should be the one to try it first as I explore more than Eric but he will be trying it later. She bought a collar and put that on me indoors for a few minutes at a time to get me used to it then a couple of days later put the camera on the collar. I wasn't very sure about it but I didn't freak out. She said she was surprised how good I was with it. Then she let me go in the garden wearing it for a few minutes. She won't let me go in the fields with it for a few days yet. Here are some of my first photos.

My very first photo. I hid in the cube to start with and these are the fev-vers on my fev-ver butt mousie.

Then I decided to hide under the dining room chair.

When I realised that the thing hanging on my neck wasn't going to strangle me, I ventured outdoors and looked at the greenhouse.

Mum followed me to make sure I was all right, and of course she had to take photos of me taking photos.

Walking down to the hedge. Interesting things like mousies live under there.

I sat down and focused on a blade of grass so I could get a good photo of it.

Not bad for a beginner eh?

Then I thought I would have a nom on it.

Nom nom nom.

Okay, that's enough for my first attempt! I'm going back to the fire. There were a lot more photos than this but most were blurry when I kept lying down trying to hide the camera in the beginning. Mum was surprised how clear the other ones came out though.

So that Eric doesn't get left out, here is a Wordless Wednesday also from January 2011.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 Flynn has the main post this week from December 2010. Eric gets a video with his dad at the end.

Flynn: Keeping Warm.

It is very cold here and the temperature hasn't gone above freezing all day, so I have been trying to find a warm sunspot.

This is a good place behind the curtain, and I can keep an eye on mum when she is on the computer too.

It is also a good idea to sit on the router. It keeps your butt nice and warm.

Mum is going to help me visit my friends now so I'd better turn around.

Eric and Dad with Chin Scritches.

Sometimes Dad gets in my recliner before I get chance to sit in it. I let him stay there for a while though as long as he gives me ear and whisker scritches. I get excited and bite his knuckles most times, so this time he offered me his hand. I knew it was a trap to get my knuckle nibbling on film so I refused. 
Mum found a photo of me nibbling for my art.



Turn the sound up and you can hear Eric's very quiet purr.
If you have trouble with the video, you can watch it here.
