I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Puss with boots











My old work boots have a hole in the sole!  That is because I work so hard.
Check out the new ones.  Well they aren't new but from the op-shop.  
My old Mum would never let us wear second-hand shoes because she said they ruin your feet.  But these ones are hardly worn and haven't been moulded to someone else's feet. 
They are Blundstones and cost only $12.00. 

BARGAIN!

The Cook reckons they are 'Dead Biker's Boots'...but I won't think about that.
I have checked and there are no blood stains.

I was only going to take one photo with Claude, but he really got into modelling so, hence the series.

The cat is above all things, a dramatist.

  1. He has the most content look on his face in the last photo! I like cats that are like dogs, they are so much easier to get on with. Usually when a cat sees me, it runs a mile and doesnt return till I'm gone. Seriously they do. I must smell funny or something...

    I use to have a cat that had a thing for shoes. She loved to sleep in amongst mine.

  7. Dead Biker Boots - I like that one! You are lucky to grab such gems - well done. Claude looks very happy with them too.

  8. Gorgeous pics! My cat Oscar loves to roll all over shoes too, smearing his man scent on them. :p

  9. In our house we refer to this sort of activity as "cattying up". Cattying up can be either the ultimate sign of approval or a desperate action to make offensive objects smell better.

  10. $12?? WOW, congrats on that bargain! I forked out much more than that last year for a pair but they are so comfy. Cute pictures, we used to have a cat called Claude..although he was a ginger tabby :) Back to the boots - I'm thinking an unwanted gift..perhaps not the right size. No bad energy in those boots, wear them well my dear!

  11. Your kitty is a model for shoes? Hmmm...I need to think about getting our cats to make some money around here:) They eat up all the profit.

  12. Re Claude: "Interactive", yes. "Active" , possibly not (on the strength of the evidence presented).

  13. You have a media tart there Hazel... as for the boots, $12 for a pair of blundstone is a bargain in my book, dead biker or no dead biker. After I got I hope someone buys a pair of my shoes and blogs about them :)

  15. We in the UK of course have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Blundstones.. Presumably our equivalent is the Doc Martens?

  16. Modelling and energy conservation combined - Claude is definitely one smart cat.

  18. Cats just know that they're cute..

  19. What a find! Perhaps I need to get myself a new pair of boots when Winter arrives. Hope I find a pair as nice as yours.
