The Mouse Slayer

There is nothing that brings out my Predator Ninja more than rodents. Rats. Mice. Same same.  Mum goes into this squealing fit every time I bring her one. Then she gives me lots of treats. Approval, I secretly crave it.

I fluff up, raise my tail as high as I can ready for the hunt. Tail, check. Claws, check. Shadow, check. Activating Predator Ninja mode.

Rammstein, the Predator Ninja in camouflage mode, blending with the background. I search for prey.

Aha! I spot one. I drag him in. He's fast. But I am faster.

I corner him.

I show off to the paparazzi. He looks different upside down.

Hey not so fast.

Must we play this game of cat and mouse?

Eeeeeeeeeeeek! There's the squeal. What took you so long Mum? I brought four in a row once and I was called the Mouse Slayer. Hmm I like that. Sounds so alpha.

Treats! Yummy! Ummmore purrrrrease.

Cat in the City

What's the best thing about country living? The great outdoors. Yes! Brings out the explorer in me. But I wasn't always a country cat. I was born a city kitty so spending a couple of weeks in the Big Smoke away from Mum wasn't as traumatic as visiting the vet (shivers!). At least I was with some faces that are becoming more familiar to me.

There I was nosing around the "outdoors" of my unfamiliar surroundings when two huge pigeons emerged out of nowhere! I nearly jumped out of my fur. I watched. I waited. And watched again. One day....


I am curious about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Found these new toys calling out to me. I can't help it. I get into everything. So deal with it.

This is my bed. These are my cuddly toys. What? Oh, ok you can sleep here too. But don't touch my toys.


What's the best thing about city living? Never a dull day. I'm exhausted from auditioning for Ninja Cat. But I yearn for the great outdoors. Outdoors in the city is so different from outdoors in the country.  My minders do not let me go beyond the pigeons. So I just observe. 

So many boxes. With people. City folks like boxes too.

Close Encounters with a Blue Tongue Lizard

I meet many creatures whilst exploring the great outdoors, some intriguing enough to capture my undivided attention. This was one of them.

Hello, what is this?

Poke poke. Show me what you got punk.

What the?? Blue??!!!

He's on the move!! And so am I.

Hey!! Where'd he go?? 

Dang! Why do they all run away from me?? I wasn't gonna eat him. Promise. I feel so misunderstood.

Bah Humbug

What's the big deal with Christmas? I see some lights are up that come on at night. They're ok. It's  those flickering ones that drive me mad. 

Here I am being helpful with the Christmas decor. Yes! A bag!



Nope, no big star in there. 


Can I fit inside? Nope. One strike.
 
Can I eat it? Nope. Two strikes.

Can I push it around? Nope. Three strikes. Useless.

The heck?? I'm going to the Cattery while you guys go away to party?!&$*%

So what do I think of Christmas?
Bah Humbug!

Ninja Cat

I am a Ninja. I skulk and wait in utmost patience. I am covert. Not easy with a bell around my neck (arrrrgh!)!!. T'was a compromise I could not claw my way out of. This proud Ninja had to submit to be let outdoors. Unsupervised. Hhhhoookay. Nevertheless I am undeterred. I move with supreme stealth. The bell makes nary a noise.

I wait quietly, I am inconspicuous. I am a Ninja.

I love high places, like trees. Something about them I cannot resist. The danger, the risk excites me. Also, there is a lot of action going on up there. Noisy chirping birds. My favourite skinks. Ah! I see one now...

Who needs a ladder when you've got claws?

The air is different up here.

And the view! Awesome. I can see more targets bwahahahaha!

I blend in well. You can't see me but I see you.

My cover is blown. Darn this bell.

The Roo and I

There is only so much I can do indoors. I don't mind the repetitive games they play with me. But I so long to explore the vast world outside these walls. I think I was meant to be an outside cat. I know it in my soul.

This is my favourite perch. I can watch the world go by from here. So much action.


Then early one foggy morning I saw this. What the heck is that??!!


I followed it from window to window, I was getting curiouser and curiouser.


Suddenly it eyeballed me!! Gulp. It's much larger than me. Umm, I think I'm an indoor cat after all.


I'll go and read some books.


The elephant again? Boring. I think I'll take a catnap instead.

Indoor Cat

I was told in my kittenhood that I was an indoor cat. 

I peek under the door to see if anyone will open it for me. I have learned to open it myself! So call me Houdini.

I cannot resist any hanging thing anywhere. 

                                                        or getting into bags, any bag!

I am compelled to test this back scratcher, if I can only reachhhh

Closets, my  favourite. So much to explore!

             I like to leap and lurch without making a noise! No bell collar for me thank you.

Ahh so many toys so little time...zzzzzz

Balls, just love'm!
