Head Mousie

Every cat should have a Head Mousie.  Here's mine.

He's cute, and he squeaks when you poke him.  My favourite trick is to leave him on his side, so that he keeps squeaking, even when I've wandered off to do something else.

Anyway, the whole point of having a Head Mousie is that he can keep watch when you're taking a nap.  Here he is, keeping an eye on things whilst I have a snooze.

Of course, even though you've left your Head Mousie on guard, that doesn't mean you can get complacent.  Sometimes, you just need to give your Head Mousie a little nudge to remind him what he's doing.

Finally, I think my Head Mousie needs a name, something that reflects his cuteness and level of responsibility (although it might be a girl, I've not looked).    So, my fellow kitties, send in your suggestions and name that Mousie!

I'm a big fat ginger cat who needs a name for his Head Mousie.

Saturday in front of the TV

I'm not going to do very much today, just sit in front of the TV.

It's not very often I get to hog the remote.

I'm a big fat ginger remote hogging cat.

Just look ...

at all my stuff!!

It's hard work keeping an eye on this lot.

I'm a big fat ginger cat with a lot of stuff!

Thursday ....

is the day of the Outstretched Paw!

Making Good Use of my New Scratch Post

It's a really good place to sleep!

Although someone keeps pointing the flashy box at me.

I'm a bit fat ginger asleep in my scratch post cat.

New Scratch Post is Finished

Dad finished my new scratch post, and here it is.

Pretty impressive, don't you think?  First, I had to inspect the workmanship.

Then I had to try it for size, make sure I could get inside.

Seems I fit OK.  Here I am, safely holed up inside with my mousies!

Dad told me if I started scratching the outside, he'd kill me!  Not sure I understand that.  What's the point of having a scratch post if you can't scratch it?  I'm still using the old one, just to be on the safe side.

He does take orders!!

Snuggling with my Dad

There's nothing I like more, apart from snuggling with my Mum, than having a snuggle with my Dad.

Although sometimes we fight about who's leg goes where.

He's got bigger legs than me though, so I snuggle up behind them.

I'm a big fat ginger snuggled up cat.

New Scratch Post

You remember a while back I told you that Dad was building me a new scratch post?  Well, finally, there has been some progress.  We had to wait until he got a glue gun, and for this great big coil of rope to be delivered.

I can't believe he bought a great big coil just for me!!  Here is progress so far, but I think it's going to take a while.

But there's going to be lots of rope to pull my kitty claws on.

It's even been carpeted inside, although I hope I'm not too fat to fit through the hole.

He does take orders!!

I'm a big fat ginger waiting for my new scratch post cat.

Mousie Guarding

A cat's got to guard his mousies at all times!!

You never know when they might run away.  Mum always puts my mousies back on my scratch post after I've been throwing them round the house.

I'm a big fat ginger mousie guarding cat!

Dad is attacked by the Kettle!

I don't know what he was doing, but he got his hand stuck in the kettle.

It was really stuck, and he couldn't do anything for laughing.  Apparently he was cleaning it out, as we live in a very hard water area and even though we've got a softener it still furs up - not kitty fur, this is different stuff which leave lumps in their coffee.

I'm snoopervising, as you can see.  Wouldn't catch me putting my paws in there.
