Baby on Board

We have a baby on board! Mum was in hospital for four days and we didn't see much of dad either. He came back to feed us and took off again as soon as our bowls were down. We were so glad to have them both home again. Here we are waiting for dad on the dock.
We weren't really sure what the baby was at first. And then it moved! And then it made a noise! I went over for a sniff. Mum told me the baby is called Joshua. Here I am helping to put Joshua to bed.
I really like Joshua but Pepe is still undecided...
To celebrate our new arrival I thought I'd get mum and dad a present. I waited until we had visitors (so it would be an extra special gift). For some reason nobody seemed to appreciate the bird I brought in. "Carlos, drop the bird", my dad said. Since I am a good cat, I did as I was told, but of course the bird went flying off around the cabin causing everyone to duck and making poor baby Joshua cry. Luckily it flew outside after a couple of minutes, by which time nobody was speaking to me.
A few days later I tried another approach. This time I got mum and dad a nice cockroach, but once again nobody seemed to like it. In fact mum FREAKED!!! Dad wasn't fast enough to kill the cockroach before it disappeared and mum was very upset. I was really unpopular for a while but I redeemed myself the next day by hunting the cockroach down so dad could finally get rid of it.
I think I'll leave the presents for now and just concentrate on helping out around the home. Here I am giving mum moral support while she feeds our new baby boy.

A Job Well Done

As you can see I've been very busy helping my dad with our boat renovations. Unfortunately he wasn't very impressed with my contribution to the varnish work...
I'm back in the good books now though.
Here is the finished cabin. All we need now is for mum to have the baby...
I've found myself a great little spot to watch over him when he arrives.

Carlos' Christmas

My mum is having a baby. My brother Pepe is a bit jealous right now, but I think it's great and I know she loves us very much.
Dad is in charge of renovating the forward cabin for the new baby. Here we are right at the start of the project. I can tell he's going to need my help.
We had a short break for Christmas at Abel Point Marina. Here I made friends with a dog called Lulu (well sort of).
There wasn't much time for festivities - Dad and I have lots of work to do. Here I am supervising the refitting of portlights.
Mum says we'd better get it done in time....
