Ever since he was a kitten, Albert has been fed on the window ledge in the kitchen.
Like most cats, he’s a faddy eater, so at any one time , foul smelling , pieces of meat, licked clean of gravy , sit in his bowl like some nasty witches’ brew.
I have to remind myself to empty and clean Albert’s bowls and in an attempt to recycle any old food, I tend to hurl the contents over the garden wall, and lane into the Churchyard where the rooks from Well Street swoop down to consume it.
Now a while ago now , I once flung a bowl of wet left over pasta into the graveyard only to pepper the side of a farmer’s land rover as it passed unexpectedly and I’ve narrowly missed shaving the top of village Leader Ian’s electric “Creeping Jesus” car, with a stale hard half bagel
Today I peppered neighbour Mandy with two day old kitty Kat as she hurried past, but at least she was laughing as I belted out an apology.
It’s a beautiful day today.
It’s the vicar’s meeting this afternoon outlining the possible future of the church, he’s meeting on the grass near the prayer cross
I won’t tell him I’ve been chucking kitty kat into the cemetery
Five steps to cross the road before you hurl would keep your friends in the village!
ReplyDeleteToo easy
DeleteI remember the smell of old cat food, and wouldn't thank you for being splattered with it. Glad Mandy has a sense of humour. You must check the coast is clear before offloading over the cemetery wall in future! xx
ReplyDeleteThat’s me slap dash harry
DeleteCanned cat food shortage here in the states. I dole it out sparingly...!
ReplyDeleteReally why is that?
DeleteSame here in NZ... we keep getting told.... packaging issues.... mostly from China, pity they never kept the bloody virus!!
DeleteJo in Auckland
i love the details of ordinary things we do each day and then silliness of it all sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSometimes that’s all we do have …the silliness of an ordinary day xx
DeleteYou should erect a warning sign. "Danger. Low flying cat food."
ReplyDeleteI shouldn’t really be let out…..
DeleteI love this idea ! A sign would just seem to be a normal day for you and your village.
DeleteLol
DeleteYou are a blessed one John I am most certain-Feeding the Lords creatures-Peace be with you x
ReplyDeleteI’m a lazy old git flis
DeleteHaving 5 cats we get quite a lot of rejected food and put it into the fox food, so no waste.
ReplyDeleteBriony
x
I’m feeling a bit better now
DeleteYou've hurled food to people.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a minute to stop laughing.
XOXO
I’ve done worse
DeleteWe know... we know...
DeleteWarning signs could be fun to create
ReplyDeleteWhen I had Boris, I erected a sign on the field gate
Delete“ beware hormonal turkey ! “
You should open the field again ..
DeleteHoping the church finds a way to hang on. It seems a sort of anchor to your village. As so many churches often were.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed here
Delete? It's all biodegradable.
ReplyDeleteYes very
DeleteI have my cat trained well. She has one wet treat in the morning which she will paw me out of bed for, and eats dry food the rest of the day. The wet treat is not much of a meal. The dry food never smells, and she is not a fat cat.
ReplyDeleteHummm Albert therefore is badly behaved x
DeleteNo...he has you firmly under his paw
DeleteWaste not, want not, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe circle of life …and cat fud
DeleteHope smething positive comes out of the meeting.
ReplyDeleteJust comeback from the meeting .a good turn out
DeleteSurely there has to be a solution for keeping your church. Will you consider: a small coffee/tea/sweet cafe, 2nd hand shop or some sort of venture to bring in revenue? Oh my, a surprise bagel flying over the wall.
ReplyDeleteWe looked at the options which the vicar outlined
DeleteThat wet garbage must attract rats? What is a Creepy Jesus car?
ReplyDeleteThe rooks long before rats I expect Lizzy. We also have many rooks around us and they will not miss an opportunity to swoop on any offered food.
DeleteLizzy the rooks clean up EVERYTHING , and a creeping Jesus car is my name for Ian’s ELECTRIC car, which you never hear coming
DeleteThe rooks sound like our sea gulls! And the silent car is LOL!
DeleteHope the church meeting is good news. Never been splattered with Kitty Kat but I've had smoked mackerel sneezed over me.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed too
DeleteStill chuckling at the hazards of walking or driving down a particular village lane in Trelawnyd!
ReplyDeleteI so hope that the church will stay open for village use. Just now I cannot think of the word for that. Would it be called a Pilgrim Church?
Hugs!
Yes but would hold its name of st Michael’s
DeleteHope your back is better and nothing bad happens to the church.
ReplyDeleteThe church story will be on tomorrow’s blog x
DeleteNo wonder church congregations have dwindled when churchyards smell of old cat food and stale bagels.
ReplyDeleteOmg I’ve let the #side down
DeleteIs there never a possibility that there might be someone on the other side of the wall, perhaps lying like you do, looking up at the clouds, peacefully meditating, until chunks of old cat food hit them in the eye?
ReplyDeleteHopefully not lying in the road
DeleteOh, but you said "into the churchyard" so I presumed over the wall. Confused.
DeleteYour neighbours need danger money. Or tin hats :)
ReplyDeleteOr lower rates
DeleteOur cats on a special diet one where meat absolutely stinks. My husband says it smells like pate. It really doesnt.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could be so gracious if someone slung cat food at me.
Mandy is used to it
DeleteShe’s used to me lying prostate in the field,
Asking her for spare knickers to cope with winnies periods
Etc etc
Had to say snorted with laughter at it.
ReplyDeleteGood x
DeleteThe villagers deserve danger money for living anywhere near you! But I did laugh!
ReplyDeleteI once flung a bag of dog poo into the back of a truck which nearly hit me on the zebra crossing
Deletekeep everyone on their toes and keep on chuckin'!
ReplyDeleteThat’s the idea
DeleteWaste not! But be careful where you throw!
ReplyDeleteLik I said , I’ve done worse xxx
DeleteYou gave me a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like crossing the street -- look both ways!
ReplyDeleteLol I know lol

You're not as bad as my neighbour : she regularly chucks dead birds (victims of her soddin' cat) onto the Cornish hedge across the road. I used to look forward to the blackberries that grow on there . . .
