Gone Cat

They went out carrying the cat crate and came back with an empty crate. I can't find the orange thing anywhere.

During the week that he was here he was called a different name every day - today it was Squirt.  Squirt was starting to get on my tail.  He was certainly a gutsy little blighter.  I did my best to look and sound forbidding but had to resort to a straight-right in the end.  All that achieved was that he never approached me from the front and I had to get eyes in the back of my head (or end of my tail). 

One of the names F joked about calling him was Simba.  We have been following the story of a cycling cat called Nala.. you get the picture?  

F tells me his new family plan to call him Simba.  Now there's karma for you.  He's smart and gutsy and has the potential to grow into a pretty special character - in his own space and without me cramping his style.  So the name might be appropriate.

He's had a good teacher, but there is one thing he lacks that will never make him a Tigger....

... he's scared of the vacuum cleaner.

I love a good vacuuming.  Like everything I do that sets me apart (riding on Donkey, driving the gardener's van, playing spy games, and getting a vacuum bath) - all these things were my idea; I instigated them.  I sidled up to F one day while she was cleaning and asked for a vacuum bath and it has been my special treat ever since.  I'm not dead keen on my tail being sucked into the pipe, but apart from that its a great way to get rid of loose fur - especially when your fur coat is as thick and dense as mine.

F says special thanks to Dominic and Ruta and she hopes the three of you make a really special team ( I do too - thank you for taking the Wee Squirt away from my 'sphere of operation' and off my tail).
