Lushkin's world view

I am not a bully

2011-04-09T14:07:00.003Z

Lushkin: him keeps saying I am a bully. I am not. What's wrong with reclaiming my usual seat when him has taken over it? I then go to my second favourite place, which has been taken over by Yannick. She fights me back, she is as much a bully as I am, then.

Him: Yeah yeah, just go and blame on Yannick, the little one, whom you have been bullying. And I was before than you on that seat, anyway.

Lushkin: ah, you confess you had usurped my favourite sofa? Shame on you! Shame on you! Accusing me of being a bully, you are the bully, you are the bully!!!

Him: Well, what can I say to these unfounded accusations? Ah, by the way, Lushkin, thank you for licking my face early this morning, That was nice!

Yannick, again...

Yannick watching the going ons

in the bedroom this morning.

Me, asleep...

2010-12-04T21:12:00.000Z

Don't I look pretty?

Me, Yannick and Leonie

2010-11-06T16:09:00.001Z

Yannick

Leonie

A new pic of me...

2010-10-15T12:35:00.000Z

Am I pretty, or not?

The Man is a pervert!

2010-09-15T10:59:00.000Z

He was kissing my little sister's belly... Uuuuurgghhhhh! How can Yannick stand that?

How humiliating!

2010-09-14T10:33:00.002Z

Every day we can to beg the Man for our food, to end up eating stuff that we don't like! Why is he not like an automatic cat food dispenser, a machine that we, felines, could pull a piece of string for the food that we really like?

Disgraceful!

Yannick and I

2010-09-05T11:27:00.000Z

We are so good friends now, me and Yannick... I love to play with her, we just jump all over the place and trash it, much to the annoyance (some times) of The Man...

I love being a cat... Wouldn't you?

No, my friends...

2010-08-06T08:59:00.003Z

I haven't gone away. I had so much fun with my new sis, Yannick, although she is a bit overbearing sometimes, like this morning. when she jumped on me and threw me to the ground when the man was feeding us... So undignified!

I am so excited!!!!!

2010-05-06T17:22:00.001Z

My new sister is coming on Saturday... I will be able to play with her all day long... not with the Man, so boring...

New kitten...

2010-05-01T13:54:00.001Z

And I haven't been told the name of my new sister... He says that she will be the first one to know it...

I am getting a new sister!

2010-05-01T10:38:00.001Z

The Man told me I will be getting a new little sister... soooooonnnn... I'll tell you all about it////

He has been nice to me!

2009-11-28T15:35:00.000Z

I have been getting really nice food from him! And he came this morning when I couldn't climb down, so that I could jump onto his shoulders and I went for a short walk with him up there. Really nice!

This man is awful!!!

2009-11-26T10:23:00.000Z

Why he can't give me the food I like? He is awful...

Horrible!!!!!

2009-11-15T16:09:00.000Z

Would you believe this? He tried to kiss me!!! Honest.... How horrible.... And he is the worst bed in the world... he just keeps moving round and round, waking me up when I am curled ever so nicely on him... Totally useless, he is.

I am a grown up now!

2009-06-02T10:26:00.002Z

Why does he think I am still a kitten? He treats me like that all the time. This morning I was comfortably sitting on my black tent, the one I played with so much when I was little, and he came and drop a toy yellow mouse, which, to be frank, looks more like a bee than a mouse - aaaaarrgggghhh!!!!!!!!! - and waited for me to play with it. Could you imagine that? So, I just stay there doing nothing, giving him one of those looks, you know the ones I mean. And when he wasn't looking, me stretched myself out and touched it with the tip of my paws...

Public transport

2009-04-17T11:57:00.004Z

Pablo, my human, is such a good means of public transport! It feels great to travel on his shoulders from room to room, I can steer him by applying pressure on his shoulder blades indicating where I want to go, and when my destination has been reached, I can make him stop by putting my claws on his neck, and then he extends one of his ridiculous long paws down so I can safely climb down to, usually, the food he has put out for me. Where else can you get such a good public transport service?

Many mouses...

2009-04-08T13:17:00.004Z

Many mouses have passed since my last blog. I have asked so many times my funny two legged friend to write it on my behalf, but he has totally ignored me...

The life for a female cat is not that good, isn't it? You get ravished by big tom cats with missing ears as soon as you go out, and then ignored when you got back home. I use to sit on his rather comfortable lap and manicure my claws on his legs when I was little, but know he is rarely around for me to do that again. Mind you, it is nice to have public transport within the flat, as I go from one room to the other on his shoulders and then I get my food delivered specially by him.

By the way, if you have wondered why this blog is not pink with flowers and things like that, that is because I am not, and not ever, a pinky cat. In fact, my favourite past time is to provoke him to a fight, and he always obliges, and he gets the worst of it after I have scratched his strange paws with my razor sharp claws...

The big yellow warm creature with the wide light blue tail has come back

2008-06-14T08:44:00.002Z

I'm afraid when the ground we use to slide and paw across becomes every so o ttooooo often wet and slimy and selling awful and there is this strange beast that goes around eating everything from the floor while making a constant high pitch hissing noise that I have to run and hide myself which is difficult as nothing is any longer in the place I expected to be so I keep banging my head against things that weren't there before and jumping onto something that isn't there either so falling in a very humiliating way so that the only thing that there's for me to do is just walk away waving my rrrreaaaaaaaallly beautiful tail as if nothing had happened at all but he knows all about that so he just come after a while and take me through the air into another place like where I can sit high up so well away from the eating strange beast and look at that green and blue world through something that is there but it isn't there and I am so glad that the warm yellow animal with a light blue big and wide tail has come back again making me so happy that this morning I was up so so very early watching as big bullying Prince who used to be sooo good with me when I was little run like a maaad caaaat around the place still dry hopefully it will still dry this afternoon you never know about these strange creatures that on one minute are so nice to you giving you these softly softly places where we can sleep although I never liked mine Prince and Ilu use it but I don't I like very much that place which is so full of stuff to hide and climb onto and hang from and play with where I sleep in a strange long space and dark where I can see the front wall that moves to let my Pablo in and out and where I went through when I was little and there was this other strange thing with yellow hair that tried to paw me and I screamed and screamed and ran away anyway this place I sleep now is just much better than the soft thing he gave me and my companions use instead of me and you know what he said that he was mnded to give us an identity tag an identity tag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you imagine that??????????? where is this world of us happy flurry felines going when we cannot even walk without finding the groundet and slippery and mucky and the creatures hissing at us when we paw into the litter as we're suppose to do and my creature is now snooping into my email can you believe me he said that something called the gubernmen has asked him to do so that he doesn't like to do it but that you never know what I may be up he said that I may go out and blow up that funny kurtin that is all above us all the time and changes it colour every so often and becomes very dark so many times that I cannot remember anymore an now I'm out of purrr...

Uses of a two legged thing

2008-06-11T09:09:00.006Z

The funny animal who lives with me, the one I've talking about, said the other day that I looked like a big pair of ears with a cat hanging from them... Calling me names!!!!!!! His ears are quite ridiculous, flat, and pink...PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And mine are beautiful, long, elegant, furry, soft... Miauuuuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he protects me when bad bad bad Prince comes and push me out of the way and eats all my food..... He says something like baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat... What is a cat, do you know? and always rescues me when I get into difficulty climbing into these ropes he calls kurtins and waadroov... what is waa? and droov? Sometimes I look into that flat animal that miauws and grunts but never plays back, its skin changes all the time, sometimes with bright colours and sharp sounds like that day when that terrifying beast Grrrrrrooooochmmmbllll came and the ground moved under my paws and I was so scared that I slept all night under Pablo's (my thing has a name) cot and he says something like wwwaaaaaaaaaaa... ??????????????

His shoulders are comfortable to walk on... especially when I clean my claws on them... He also catches flies for me, sometimes... And he always bring my fooood to me, wherever I may be... I like getting into his tent when the grey and cold beast that is everywhere comes... So, you see, my Thing has his uses after all... And I like licking and biting his silly stupid looking paws... And anyway I wonder how he would taste in my plate?

Did I mention about his ears?

Oh Atticus!

2008-06-02T11:52:00.002Z

Really, I'm nice, but I like getting what I like, always. Ar' you game? L

(Comment from Pablo) She is a complete coward.

Oh, the things he says! I'm little, I'm not a big cat who has to change his fur every day (and getting all wet, aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!) and cannot even walk properly... he looks so ungainly trying to make it on 2 legs only... and he has no tail, not like mine, at least, although he thinks that I look a bit like a snow leopard! I haven't seen one, have you? but Pablo has seen them, and he showed them to me, they look so funny as they are really small and glossy and flat, how can I look like that? He's mad, like that funny thing you mentioned that yelps and sulks under cover.

Grrrrrrooooochmmmbllll,

2008-02-28T09:58:00.002Z

the terrifying beast from the entrails of the land, deep down underneath my paws, didn't come back last night, or early this morning. I was so relieved! I hope the demon will not return.

Big monster!

2008-02-27T09:33:00.002Z

I was so scared this morning, there was a big animal outside, a very big animal, meowing and shaking the floor under my paws, the sound it made was horrible, it came from deep down, very much like the sound that Prince's makes when he is happy, but much stronger and deeper and threatening, Prince is not threatening at all, I could feel it through my bones! Everything was moving and shaking, and Pablo was scared too, I could see that! I slept under Pablo's bed all night, I felt safe in there. He tried to get me out, but I didn't want to, I know he meant well, but I don't think he would have been able to defent me from that big monster, it was just too big and threatening. and it was comforting to sleep knowing that he was near me, very near me, anyway!

When I came out this morning, I made sure that the monster was gone, I looked and sniffed very carefully around me, but I couldn't feel any funny smell.

Him!!!!!

2008-02-25T09:33:00.003Z

I don't believe it! He shouted at me! At me! This morning! I think he's going mad, he just meows on his own, or on this little black object, I can see tiny cats in it, but then they don't want to play with me, yhey don't want to come out, they don't even look at me, they just act as if I didn't exist.

And then, there're meows coming from nowhere, meows not like my own but like Pablo's, and when I look around I see no-one. His meows don't sound as nice as my own, what do you think?

Jealousy

2008-02-23T09:48:00.002Z

I can't believe it! Leonie is jealous of me! Of me!!!!!!!!! I'm nice, why is she behaving like that? She just goes at me everytime I past near her, and all because of Pablo!

Oh dear!

2008-02-15T09:55:00.003Z

Leonie has the hots for Prince, but he doesn't want anything to do with her! It's so fun to watch her going at him almost all day, and Prince trying to do his utmost to shake her off! Then, she has a go at Pablo, and guess what? He doesn't want to do anything with her too, and shakes her off! She goes crying around the flat, and Pablo goes angrily after her, but he comes back with her in his arms whispering and soothing her. I sit watching all this going on, and as soon as I can I sit on Pablo's lap as he reads or do something with paper and pencils. Ilu has sat calmly throughout all of this going-ons, and Prince gets pissed-off! I don't blame him, Leonie can be such a pain in the neck some times!

I'm back

2008-02-08T09:41:00.000Z

Hi everybody! Pablo is so lazy! I've asked him so many times to write on my blog and he hasn't done it. He writes his own stuff, and forgets all about me. I cannot use computers, why there aren't any keyboard that I can use with my paws? Although I like to watch films with him and the other cats. Only Prince really likes me, he always did, since I was little, he used to play with me, rough and gentle at the same time. I'm all grown up now, and I can defend myself, and also play rough, really rough, with Prince, but always in a good mood! Not like humans, who can be really vicious between themselves, even within the family and between friends, don't mind strangers, or foreigners. All those wars! It really beggars belief! Sometimes I cannot believe it when Pablo reads the news, or I listen to the radio with him. I know that Leonie and Ilu don't really like me, they are jealous, Leonie, particularly, because she thinks I usurped her place as Pablo's favourite, but I was really little and abandoned, and without him I wouldn't have survived! Yet Leonie has never been really vicious, she can go at me at times because I love to tease her, but apartt from a bit of growling and hissing and being a bit quick with those sharp paws of her, she stays back. she never attacked me, like really viciuos, like humans do, even when I was little and defendless when Pablo wasn't around, she could had mauled me to death, but she didn't. I think I prefer to be a cat, it's just nicer, and I have a beautiful coat, and when the sunshine comes out we all go to the windows and bask on it, all differences forgotten!

Pablo had promised me he will write regularly, so you will hear more of me, whoever reads this, if any person or feline does,

2006-09-04T08:50:00.000Z

He kicked me this morning! But he didn't mean it, and he was sorry and was very nice to me afterwards. He had shed his funny skin and was getting under the water when he did it, as I was watching him. He looks so funny without his skin!

Yesterday I was a bit scared when I was chasing flies, sniffing at the plants and looking in the balcony. There was another animal with funny skin down there, screaming and kicking at a red animal that takes others inside it, strange thing, and was not moving. Then the air started moving and hitting me in the face, so I panicked and ran inside to take the sunshine on the other side of my den. He came later comforting me.

2006-08-26T08:23:00.000Z

He thinks I'm a cow! Just like in picture books! He put a bell on a collar on me! I went berserk, I couldn't stand it! What was he thinking of? At least the collar was yellow and not pink. Although I would looked great in pink, just a bit too Pretty Polly, perhaps. But I'm pretty and petite. Men!

2006-08-16T08:42:00.000Z

He didn't pull my tail all day yesterday! What's wrong with him?

2006-08-15T08:45:00.000Z

I had a great day yesterday! I had even a bit of cake, just a bit, I don't really like cake that much, just a taste of it. I then played all evening with Pablo, and when I was tired I sat for a while on his shoulder, then watched as Leonie sat on his lap.

2006-08-14T09:00:00.000Z

I couldn't see anything, it was dark, I was too little and my eyes were still closed, I opened them some 10 days later, there was no warm, no other bodies next to me as they have been only a few hours earlier, the last warmth having gone not long before, perhaps just a few minutes. I was afraid, I didn't know what was happening, there was only cold rough surface next to me, and the place where I was laying was dirty and wet. I was looking for my mum's teat, but it wasn't there... I was crawling, seeking it, nothing, I was so hungry, I was crying loud I think, really loud... Then I felt a warm paw coming from somewhere and I was no longer in that dark and horrible place, I could feel it through my skin although I couldn't see it, but there was a cold sensation until I felt I was being wrapped up against a body, it was different that the bodies that had been there in that place with me, the bodies I felt since I could remember, just a few hours earlier. I was being moved, traveling high in the air not for long, and then I was laid onto a warm body, wrapped by it. But I was still crying, I was so hungry... The place I was laying was then warm, but it had edges, although not very rough, as the surface of that other place had been.
This was a year ago, that is what Pablo told me this morning when he woke up and came to me to pull at my tail. He always does that, I grab at his funny paws then, he has no nice long claws as I do, his skin is so funny, he sheds his skin every morning and then he is so smooth when he gets water pouring all around him. Sometimes I want to get under the water as well, but he doesn't let me do it, he says I could get ill if I do that.

Lushkin will start blogging on 2 weeks time, on August 14. She does not believe in bombing or quarreling, she plays a lot. Life is play, she says.
