Yay!!! Kitty is back!!!!
I'm from Central Florida USA
Chances are your lil furry friend was driven out by the 2 scraggy intruder cats maybe he will return 😺😺😺❤❤
It’s possible although one of those cats is a female who he hung out with. I hope that this is the case and he’s happy somewhere else 🙏💕
Super like always.
Thank you 🙏💕
Cats can get to you so sorry for your loss.

Thank you Lydia and I am loving sharing my journey. It’s everyone here that keeps me moving forwards 😀💕
Your little property is just beautiful and you are making such a difference already. I really hope your your kitty kat will return home. That other tom cat has probably frightened him away, let's hope he returns xx

Thank you Matilde. Beijos the cat returned last night after more than two weeks! I’m just happy he is back 😀💕
Hi Suzi, your place is looking wonderful, so pleased you have now got your plunge pool and seating area to relax in. ❤
Thanks Jean. It’s such a needed addition with the current heat. Have a dreamy week 🙏💕
Susi I love how your box turned out. Wonder if the latch would be shiny if it had a treatment of some kind. So sorry about your cat and hope he returns soon. Your home is beautiful.
Thank you Sandra. I’m sure I would be able to clean up the old latch. 😀💕
I've had cat's and male one's can travel far and even be gone for days , I've worried they are gone but have come back ❤❤❤
Thanks Jane for this thought. He’s been gone for two weeks now. Hopefully he is alive and well with someone else 🙏💕
Thank you for the home tour ❤ Hoping that Bejous will return. ❣️💗😻
I hope so too 💕
With the new flower bed by the pool. Wet the soil and put cardboard down, wet and put soil on top plant your flowers and add wood chips to cover under and around the bed to control moisture and weeds. Wildflowers would look get.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll give it a go 😀💕
Boa tarde Suzi sinto muito pelo gatinho 🐱 vejo que você está bem obrigado pelo vídeo ❤
Obrigada Luísa 🙏💕
Your cute little shoes on the wall LOL Can't believe you climbed up there...amazing spirit! Also, good job with the editing and sorry for the little sweetheart❤
Thank you 🙏 Yes, the shoes on the wall made me laugh when I watched the video back 😂💕
Hi Suse, so sorry to hear about Bejos. I hope he's just out hunting for love. But at least he had his time with you and you showed him much love.
Maria, I am happy to say he returned last night. Just came strolling back across the fields after more than two weeks! 😂💕
I love that tapestry. Makes for a great wall covering. Watching you from one of my jobs on a Sunday morning, in North Carolina. Wishing I was there hanging out with you in beautiful Portugal!! 🙂
Isn’t North Carolina beautiful too?
@@dreamlifeportugal Yes, it is beautiful on the coast and in the mountains, but I find inland a bit boring LOL I've spent 60 years in NC, so I'm ready for a change 🙂
You should grow some roses in your new garden bed. 😊
Yes, roses grow well here. I need to wait to plant these as the ground is too hard right now 🌹💕
The property is looking lovely. I like the little box you refinished. So sorry about Beijos. 🙂👍🇨🇦
Thank you and Beijos returned last night after more than two weeks gone. Just as I was believing I would never see him again. 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal such a relief! he must have been visiting the neighbours. bad kitty making you worry like that. my kitties have a catio at the back of the house. there are people that drive too fast on a quiet st. my nerves wouldn't survive the worry.
Hi Suzy, so sorry to hear about beijos, maybe you should just keep the poor little dog that already seems to love you and want to be with you. You home is looking more and more beautiful. A big hug from extremely hot sunny Florida.
Thank you Grace. I cannot keep the dog as he does have owners who seem friendly and kind. I think he just likes me 😂😂💕
15:31 Brazil . Rio de janeiro😊.
Another great video enjoy having my coffee and watching you ❤
Thanks Gabriela. I love the thought of you enjoying your coffee watching. I do the same 😂😂
Cuánto lo siento!! Amo los gatos, tengo dos y me encantaba verle..Un abrazo muy grande 💖💖💔💔💗💓
Thank you. I have good news, Beijos the cat returned last night 😀💕
❤love this space ..
Well, still wiping away tears about your kitty. So, I will move on, and I must say you are such a strong woman in so many ways. Sharing your life for me is a gift. Have you considered a pool cover? And love the map.
Thank you Mary for your support. It’s very much appreciated. I need to get a pool cover 💕
@@marylyon1230 what a great idea. I’m going to do this 😀
In winter you can have flowers too in that wheather.
Nice idea. I need to see what flowers here that time of year. 🌺💕
I lived in Spain and I planted ciclamen, pensies and violas. They flowers all winter.
Use a combo of vinegar , salt and dish soap to kill the weeds in that flower bed or any weeds it's natural. Look online for the amount of each item. I love your box!
Also did you know that pears will not ripen on the tree? They have to be picked and ripened off the tree.
Thanks Barbara for the tips. I learnt recently about pears 🍐🙏💕
Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland.
Welcome from Germany 🇩🇪💕
So sorry about besuis. 😢
Aww that's sad news .... fingers crossed for you he'll turn up but it's the not knowing isn't it 😔x
Thank you 🙏💕
👍
cover the bed with cut grass as a mulch it will help it
Yes, already doing this 😀💕
Oi Suzy, sua casa está linda. Eu imagino a dor que você está sentindo com a falta do gatinho. Geralmente voltam quando dão essas saídas. Tive um que ficou longe de casa um mês, mas retornou. Aqui no Brasil está tão quente quanto em Portugal. Somente no sul do país que está frio.❤
Thank you and maybe he will still return. The heat is a little too much for me. Where in Brasil are you so I can put a marker on my map 🙏💕
@@dreamlifeportugal Estou na cidade de Porto Velho - Rondônia
Hello Suzie, feral cats are a law unto thier own, if he lost the fight with the other cat, he may be scared to return, I do hope he returns.
Elizabeth, he may have been small but he was a brave cat. I hope you are right and that he has found a new loving home 💕
If you have old wood with any woodworm or such, you can treat it with borax solution and let it dry before finishing it. It's a less toxic way to deter the bugs.
Thanks for the tip Austin. I much prefer to use more natural products 🙏💕
Have a little hope if he hasn't been neutered he may have gone off seeking females. To stop some of the rivalry it's best to have them neutered around 3 months old. I bred Ragdolls for a few years so have some experience. Also, cat spraying and marking territory never happens. Its a happier life all around. Hopefully its whats happening and he turns up hungry and happy to be home.
Thank you Stacey. This is what happened. He finally returned home last night. I will get him neutered 🙏💕
Greetings from my beautiful tropical island Puerto Rico. You are an admirable, talented, hardworking, determined and very beautiful woman. It's a pleasure to watch your videos and everything you've accomplished. I wish you many blessings, that you achieve each of your dreams, projects and lots of health for you to enjoy. #AdmirableWoman #Talentous #Worker #Determined #Beautiful #RicoPort🇵🇷
Thank you so much for your wonderful words. I need to add Puerto Rico as a place to visit. How blessed we are with the beautiful places in this world 🌎💕
You have done a lovely job of oiling your box there it will give you much pleasure for many years to come now.
Thank you 🙏 It’s a great piece of furniture 😀💕
Well,hello there.🌼🤗
fernando looks like jasper from 'ghost town vlogs'.
Really 😂 I’ll take a look
25:30 oh suzi 💔. He might come back still
Good morning, Suzi, URGENT! What if...knowing how inquisitive cats are, he jumped into a box in your store room, next to gate, as you were packing them in and you shut the door!!!! How often do you go in there! It was my first thought just now, so had to write and ask😢
Nicolette, no need to worry, he returned last night. He’s been off having fun whilst I was worried sick about him 😅
Nice to have seen your boyfriend on this video. ❤
Sorry, he is not my boyfriend. Just a friend 😀😂
Hello Suzi, you can put cardboard in the flower bed and spread soil over it, that's good for the plants ♥️sabine
Thanks for the tip. I will do this but I really need to dig the ground up first so the roots of the plants can grow down 😀💕
Your property seems so quiet and tranquil. I'm so sorry that your little companion has gone to a better place. I have a feeling, though, that it won't be long before another stray will find you. Tell us what you will be doing with the ground in the courtyard? Will you eventually fill it with gravel or another material to keep the weeds at bay?
It really is a peaceful place. I am sure other cats will come but Beijos was special as he liked cuddles. The other cats are more wild and don’t like to be touched. I think I will be putting down round stones around the seating area and I’m not quite sure how the rest is going to evolve yet. For now I will just keep the wild plants trimmed back. A nice grass area would be nice with a pathway running through it. However, it would need a lot of water in the summer. Let’s see. Have a great week 🙏💕
Boa tarde estou a ver os seus vídeos e entendi que perdeu o seu gato olha apareceu aqui a onde eu moro uma ninhada deles e nós é que estamos a dar de comer gosto dos vossos vídeos 🇵🇹👍🙏
O meu gato regressou a casa
Ontem à noite, depois de mais de duas semanas fora. Que simpático da vossa parte tomarem conta dos gatinhos. Fico feliz por gostares dos meus vídeos 🙏💕
Suzi, love your coffee table/ foot stool/ toybox...etc box. You brought out the woodgrain nicely and protected/ fed it well. Thanks for tour of village...good idea! Love to see more of the area and the map on the wall...☺️ 💜 🐈Is there a bowl of water out for him? maybe he has a girlfriend? Or thought you were away?...keep positive. 💐 Would you consider re instating the outside " little house" again with loo, handbasin and shower? All the basics are there. Then a stone slab pathway from the kitchen, and your quaint Air BnB set up. The stone slate covering the cement blocks will be an acceptable view, with a bright Magenta Bougainvillas to "wow" everyone! Income guaranteed!! Future resale attractive.
I am thinking of turning the old kitchen into a studio apartment with shower and kitchen so no need to reinstate the outside bathroom. I’ll keep the old kitchen sink area and fireplace. Expose some of the stone in there. Make it a beautiful separate space for friends/family and maybe even an Airbnb during the summer months 😀💕
Wonderful...very sensible idea. Once you start letting it will pay for itself. Time to do some sums, before prices go up more!!💐
So sorry about your cat friend. 😪 Can you tell me where you bought that vacuum cleaner for the pool? Thanks

I'm sorry to hear about Beijos. It's very disconcerting when a cat disappears and you don't know what happened to them. ❤❤
Yes it is. Happily he returned last night after more than two weeks 😀💕
If the cat had an injury after the fight maybe in hiding or prefers not to be around the other cat.
He returned last night and I am sure you are right about the other cat. I am now kindly chasing the other cat away when I see him. It’s not an easy situation but hopefully it will be more calm soon 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal am so pleased hes back .he knows where hes loved ......dont be nice to the other cat ..
Squirt him with garlic essence .i heard they dont like garlic.👍
I certainly wouldn’t be doing heavy physical work in a dress. After a lifetime of working with and showing jumping horses and working on a dairy farm, my clothing of choice are jeans and a tee shirt and boots. Lol
Lol. I wear a dress because it is too hot to work in anything else 😅💕
@@dreamlifeportugal I have long had an overheating problem from my thyroid but that still didn’t stop me from wearing pants. So scratch up your legs and get poison ivy. It’s your body, your choice. In my 71 years since I was old enough to wear jeans at 11 and work with horses and later work on a dairy farm, and then spackle, sand and paint the rooms in my revolutionary era home, I always wore pants. I wore skirts or dresses to my job as a legal assistant. And I sure as hell wouldn’t want to ride a horse in a skirt. But to each her own.
We care for a stray n he goes missing for a week n comes back
It’s been two weeks and there is no sign of him 🥲
Hit jusels in to the cut slits and it will splits.
We did this after. I don’t know why he was hitting it with a hammer making a big mess 😅
M from South Africa western Cape how old is that map
It’s brand new, just in an antique design 😀💕
Na próxima vez coloquem dois(3), paus redondos no chão, debaixo da pedra e depois é só empurrá-la pelo chão. Quanto mais grossos melhor. Assim podem magoar-se.
Óptimos conselhos, obrigada 🙏💕
Perhaps the cat got accidentally locked into a building/room.
Let’s hope not. I checked all my buildings 😻
goodness sakes, no mask or safety gear used while doing that work!
I know. My friend does not care to use any 😅
We also had a cat visiting us and he was with us for 2 years but suddenly he disappeared. It has been 4 months now and we can really understand how you are feeling. We are in Sweden.🥲
They will always have a special place in our memories 🥰
ha ha ha biw🦬
So very sorry your lovely pussy cat is missing, it’s so difficult when you don’t know what’s happened, one of mine has been missing for the past week but has suddenly turned up so don’t give up hope ❤xx
