I've been promising Poppy piccies for a while now, and all the cables are now unpacked and accounted for, so here goes: moving house through animal eyes.

First of all, Poppy had to help me pack. So many boxes! What's a confused little cat supposed to do?







And then all those boxes had to be unpacked again, in a strange new house full of strange new smells.



The plants on the windowsill had to be carefully arranged so that Poppy has room to sit among them.



But weaving among them is such fun - won't be long before they start getting knocked down again! Good thing they all need re-potting anyway, then.


Look! You can see birds out there!


The first time she saw me out in the garden, she actually fell off the windowsill with shock! LOL

Good thing Poppy's favourite teddy bear has also made the move.


Even when cwtching on a lap, there is so much to see and smell and experience, it can be hard to relax.


What's this? A dishwasher? Is there room for Poppy in there...?


There are tropical fish in this new house, left behind for us to take care of because they seem determined to live forever. The shark fish is called Sinbad and the very shy but very beautiful catfish is Casper.



Brother Mine's elderly little cat, Chess, has also been left behind for a few weeks until his room is ready for her to move into. Poppy is scared of other cats and Chess has always been shy and reclusive (as well as being a midget) so you'd think they would cancel one another out, but Chess is on home turf, which gives her the upper hand.


Mostly the two cats avoid one another like the plague, but Chess is on a diet of dry food only, which makes Poppy's meat meals very tempting indeed, even though rich food makes her sick. She is always trying to sneak past and steal food, which can lead to minor spats.


On top of all that, sometimes Small comes to visit...and brings her little dog Ruby with her!


It's a hard life.



Ruby thinks so too.


Small is beginning to settle, though, getting used to her new home and to Poppy and me being in her old house.


And finally...me! Also beginning to settle now that unpacking is proceeding apace.


There's still a long way to go - and that's before we even start to think about the decorating - but we're getting there, slowly but surely.

They are SO cute. Those box times are good times. We're moving soon and I'm pretty sure our cats are going to have some exciting box times too. :) I love all the sleepy Poppy pics, they're extra adorable.

It looks as if Poppy had to try all the boxes and she is having a great time. She looks so cute cuddling her teddy, although I know it's only so she can chew on him.

Such a busy time for both of you. It'd be lovely to be able to curl up and go to sleep like cats do, leaving all the work to their humans.

I'm happy for you that the actual move is over, although you still have a lot to do.

I can completely sympathise with Poppy - one must check out all the boxes. One might be special. Or destined for litter, or something.

Oh and Chess? Aptly named!

And I know what you mean about cats with the upper hand. My BF adopted his sister's cat when she passed away last year, but she and his two other cats still have territorial disputes.

Ahhh, a plethora of adorableness!!!!! Furry and finny animals! Poppy and her teddy bear are very cute. I'm curious to know how she finds the fish.

I'm glad it seems the move has gone smoothly (at least from your end).

And yay for dishwashers!

I am now, officially, a huge Poppy fan! She is so adorable, hugging her teddy, watching you out in the garden, making sure she was in a box ready to be moved.
I'm glad the move went well!!

Love the picspam! LOL @ the number of different ways Poppy sits and lies among the plants. The story of her falling off the windowsill made me giggle!
Small and Ruby are adorable together!

Glad everything is going ok with the sorting out. :)

Welcome 'back' home Agent 1.3 and Miss Poppy. Love the pics of her and her teddy bear ... did you knit it ?

I think Miss Poppy needs a bit more space between the pot plants ... cats do like to stretch out.

Nice to see a picture of you in there too.
