Fat Eric and Friends: Sunday Stories

Sunday Stories

Well, the snow has gone, apart from a few tiny bits. Lots of places in the UK have had terrible snow problems this week. We might get a bit more next week but it will probably just be rain or sleet. Yuck.

Yesterday was quite sunny so I went for a little stroll round my soggy garden to see how everything was, but my humans failed to take any pictures, and I didn't stay outside for long because it was a bit cold and wet.

This has been rather a sad week in the blogosphere with the loss of friends like Jake and Bear.

So I thought I'd find some happier stories to cheer everyone up.

This is a story about a kitty who helps to deliver the post (mail) in Somerset.

This is a story about a cat in Scotland who vanished for two years and turned out to have been having adventures on an island, but finally got found by his humans...

And this is a video of some tiger cubs in a zoo in Norfolk playing in the snowstorms - warning, this video makes my human go SQUEEEE very loudly!

Thanks for sharing some good stories today, Eric...we are trying to figure out how that cat got to an island!

We hope your snow goes all away and you are able to check your yard out...here we are use to the snow...we don't like it much either though...

Dear Eric,
It has been a sad time losing two of our blogging friends. Thank you for the cheerful stories. We especially liked the one about the cat who helps deliver the post.

Have a wonderful week to come!
Shilgiah, Tommy and Hope

It's nice to read happy stories - we loved the tiger cubs, so cute!

And what a lovely happy ending for the lost cat in Scotland.

And we couldn't help wondering if the postman's name was Pat! And the cat looked black - but was there some white fur too?

Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his black and white cat!

We like the video of the tiger cubs, and the feel good stories.
We have had torrential rain for most of the day which has washed most of the snow away. We can still see some on Kit Hill and Caradon Hill in the distance.

Awwww! Those little tigers bounce around just like Rascal & Riley.

If Marmite comes over to join the House Panther Pile, he'd end up taking Cocoa's place. Since he's a boy, the girls (Grr, Midnight & Riley) won't do more than sniff him. Cocoa, however, will hiss and growl and run away. He still does that whenever he sees Max too.
