What do you reckon my cat Harley was thinking?

While my brother Harley was decapitating poor Little Teddy, I did not participate.

Little Teddy's Unfortunate Day

Yesterday, I stayed home to care for my daughter who has the flu. While she was lounging on the couch and I was sitting back in the chair we witnessed a very unfortunate series of events for poor Little Teddy.

Little Teddy is one of my youngest daughter, Willow’s, toys. She left Little Teddy on the love seat and our mischievous cat Harley decided to have a ball with Teddy.

I don’t think Little Teddy saw it coming cause at first he played dead hoping that Harley would quickly lose interest and chase hairbands across the floor.

But Harley wasn’t buying the dead act. He was focused …. and determined. You see, he wanted to have a ball, not with Little Teddy, but with Little Teddy’s head.

Poor Little Teddy! He had an Unfortunate Day.

Here’s the only other boys in my household.

Abyssinian/Bengal Seeking Girly Companion

dale — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:09:09 +0000

Name: Banjo
Breed: Abyssinian/Bengal
Sex: Male (minus gonads)
Likes: Roast chicken, hanging out with me mates, small plastic bottle caps, sun bathing, bird watching, curtain climbing, singing at midnight
Dislikes: Scary black dogs, loud children, rocking chairs, showers, dirty litter, closed doors

Looking for: Nice girly (spade OK) cat who likes similar things and wants to lay in the sun and groom each other. Sleeping on the big pets pillows a bonus. Must be able to put up with my unruly stepbrother, a scary black dog and very loud children.

I do not discriminate on breed, coat type or color. Please leave message below. Serious inquiries only!

Weekend Snapshot – A Purrrfect Kitty?

Hello my name is Harley. This was me on Sunday night. Hehehe … I’m only pretending to be asleep. I close my eyes but keep my paws ready to pounce. I do this when I’ve been naughty. My human pets find it really hard to chastise me when I am in the cute position with my eyes shut. Oh, I just can’t wait for that nimcompoop dog to wander by tail wagging. She’ll jump outta her skin when I leap to life in a nano second.

OK, see ya later … I gotta keep pretending to be cute and innocent

Introducing Banjo

I’d like to introduce you to Banjo. Banjo was rescued along with his brother Harley from a pet store. He and Harley had been in the store window for almost three months. They were very wild from little human contact.

We would never set out to purchase animals from a pet store except Banjo caught Cecilia’s attention. He had a very similar look to her cherished cat, Scobie, who passed away after 19 years (that was about 4 years ago). When she inquired about Banjo she learned he had ben at the shop for a long time with his brother. We found that they were afraid of human contact. We all felt incredibly sorry for both of them and decided that we would give them both a home.

Banjo and Harley have been with us for about 2.5 months. They are still pretty timid but do crave affection. Harley even tolerates 3 year old Willow chasing him and giving him a vigorous cuddle.

They are acclimatising to the noise family household and even getting along with the dog Mojo.
