Invisible cat

Bumble (Buckinghamshire, UK) has learnt to shout loudly at her humans as they approach since they have a tendency to stand on her when she is lying in the hall or at the top of the stairs in the dark.

Drinking Habits

Every morning Bumble (Buckinghamshire, UK) sits in the kitchen sink and demands that her human turns the tap on just enough for her to have a drink. Her human has bought a cat fountain with a little tap that continually spouts water. It may be pretty but Bumble knows which tap she gets her water from and she isn't changing her habits for anyone.

Dissection Master Class

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) reports that since his failed attempt to teach hunting skills to the miniature humans, he has tried a dissection lesson instead. This time he provided a fully dead squirrel and placed it in front of his food bowl, where he proceeded to show the inner workings to the miniature humans. This did seem to rouse more interest and less screaming. Sadly, despite this, the miniature humans’ hunting skills have yet to improve.

Warning: Humans have telekinesis!

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) was merrily sleeping away on the arm of the sofa as his humans worked on the other side of the room. In a deep sleep TC was rudely awoken when they used their human telekinesis powers to push him of the sofa arm causing him to fall (he definitely did not fall in his sleep). A warning to cats out there: humans use their telekinesis powers to torment adorable sleeping cats.

Present Of The Day

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) recently provided a half dead squirrel as a gift offering to his miniature humans to practice their kitten hurting skills. The results were mixed. There was a lot of screaming from taller humans. Next time dead squirrels will be provided.

Danger, Cat Approaching

Bumble (Buckinghamshire,UK) knows the sounds birds make when she is outside and has been practicing her imitations of them. She can now make a bird danger call when she goes into the garden and warn them of her coming.

Starvation Peril

This morning, Yogi (Buckinghamshire, UK) did not get breakfast. Instead he got bundled into a cat carrier and taken to the vet for a tooth removal. Seeing this, Bumble loudly demanded food from anyone even remotely near the kitchen lest she too miss out.

Nightly safety check

Eric (Buckinghamshire, UK) politely but loudly requests permission to enter his human’s bedroom, despite the door being ajar. He can then walk around it on his nightly prowl, and immediately leave once his human has acknowledged his presence.

Cat No Longer Solid
