What's Catty Doing?

Just in case you've been wondering what Catty has been up to recently, I'll fill you in.

2011 was a good year for Catty, check out what a busy year he's had and some of his favourite things to do...

Busy growing in to an EVER BIGGER cat.

Checking out his snow boots!

Sniffing stuff and being curious in general

Diving! Scores please?

Perfecting staring and the art of total lack of spacial awareness. Yep. He is a busy dude.

Balancing and that.

Catching some rays! Outta my sun!

Snoozing on laps, did you know cats sleep for up to 20 hours of the day?

Making new friends who have beer!

Drinking out of toilets - I don't think I'll ever understand this...

Practicing my 'I'm just too cute for anything laborious' face.

So there we have it. Catty has BIG PLANS for 2012. He's going to go on a diet (he doesn't know this) he's going to chase more things thinking he is a dog, he's got plenty of sleeping to be catching up on and muddy paw prints to tread through the house. Hopefully this Boxing Day he won't be sick on the carpet and this year I'm crossing fingers he stops using the bathroom mat as an extension of his litter tray. All I have to remember is that this is actually HIS house and I'm just lucky he allows me to live there with him.

Explore. Dream. Discover. Yep, it's MY Bucket List!

Bucket List = Things I would very much like to try in my life before I'm not able to try them any more!

Lately I've been reading more and more blogs about people and their bucket lists, and although I'm not a massive fan of bandwagons, I'm jumping on this one and taking it for a ride. Man. I've thought about this list for a while, and I couldn't care LESS that some of them might be on other people's lists or that they might not be considered original. They are important to ME. So thereeeeeee.

So without much further ado...Katie's Bucket List (capitals and everything, oh yeah.)


• Visit every continent (must first learn about continents.)

• Put down a track in a recording studio. Of sorts.

• Visit Devil’s pool in Zambia

• Go on a TV game show

• Travel in a helicopter

• Visit Rio Celeste in Costa Rica

• Eat a steak in Argentina

• Go to Panama (wearing a Panama hot. Obvs.)

• Ride on an elephant

• Wear size 12 jeans

• Learn another language. Fluently.


HOWEVER, I must confess that thinking about the ol' bucket list made me think about what I've done in life so far that is pretty cool (if I say so myself) so I kind of made my own 'done it already list' to lay it out there...what??! Have you never added something to a list that you've already done just to tick it off??

• Zip line in Honduras
• Safari in Kenya

• Appear on a TV show (prime time in case you didn’t know)

• Contract typhoid in Uganda

• Camp in the Serengeti

• Help build a house in Honduras

Weirdly, as a child (and I suppose in later years too!) I was always jealous of anyone who broke a bone because I'd never broken one myself, so I was fairly satisfied when I broke my ankle last year during a netball match, but the satisfaction didn't last long when I had to hire a mobility scooter on a trip to Disneyland Paris...

I'm off to the newsagent to get that winning lottery ticket now.

Where's your bucket list then? Hey?
