Pizza, munchmallows and a movie

Had a homemade pizza with extra everything for dinner tonight. My sister makes the best pizza sauce ever. As you can see, we believe in using as many toppings as we can possibly make room for on a pizza.

Pizza - it's all veggie. Even the ham.

Dessert was fresh strawberries, pineapple chips and munchmallows in front of Buried. That movie felt so real I almost freaked out. It ain't for the faint of heart... I hope I don't have nightmares about sand.
As usual, Gizmo had the best seat in the house and watched most of the movie with us.

Sunday

Sundays are awesome. I went to the gym with my sister for a bodybalance session, cooked a healthy veggie brunch and read the paper with a cup of tea. And hung out with Gizmo.

I don't know if it was the exercise or just my happy Sunday mood, but I didn't want to spend my afternoon sitting on the sofa. So I baked flapjacks with walnuts and cherries.

Flapjacks

I used to buy flapjacks, but then I started making my own and they're so much better. More flavor and less sugar than the store bought ones.
Heck, I even made fresh fruit salad so I'm all set for breakfast tomorrow.

Gizmo

Remember the little wild kitten that my sister and her fiancé brought home? He - we're now sure it's a boy - is called Gizmo and is becoming more and more relaxed in his new home. We've even been able to pet him a few times.

Gizmo doesn't really trust stuff that makes weird sounds, like cell phone cameras.

My sister found a good vet who does house calls and has a lot of experience with rescued cats. Gizmo needs some eye drops and antibiotics for the next few days, other than that he's in good shape.

Gizmo. Master of the living room.

The vet also said that he's probably part Siamese or some other "oriental" breed. Gizmo has a really long tail, big ears and his eyes are a little different from the other cats that we've had.

I hope you're ordering more cat food.

He's active, curious and complains if his food isn't fresh enough. Oh, and he's completely taken over the living room. Did I mention he's cute as a button?

A Feral Kitten

My sister and her fiancé have adopted a feral kitten. The little rascal showed up outside Fredrik's job last week and he was finally able to capture it and bring it home on Friday.

First known photo of the kitten.

They're not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet, so no name has been decided. But they're leaning towards Gizmo. Because the kitten has big ears and reminds us of this fella.

The kitten is shy but making real progress. You can't touch her/him or be too close, but it's ok to play a little. At first he/she was scared to leave the transport cage Maria and Fredrik brought her/him home in, but now he/she is relaxed enough to sleep on the kitchen table or in the little house on the activity tree.

No kitten, photographers do not eat kittens.

This kitten is being spoiled, in a good way. Fancy toys from Lidl, Whiskas cat milk and quality cat food. They've even prepared the balcony for when the kitten is brave enough to explore it.

Kitty house and extra litter box.

It seems Gizmo really has gone from rags to riches.
