Weeble the Guard-cat!

Monday, we got our tax refund check in the mail, so yesterday I took a quick
trip to the nearby ATM to deposit it.  In the 5-10 minutes I was gone,
Weeble had defended the house from a marauding 1/2 roll of paper towel &
left it to die a horribly lonely death in the middle of the living room
floor.  The outer 2 layers were nicely shredded (remind me NOT to make the
little bugger mad at me).  Not sure where this roll came from as the one we
keep on the table behind the sofa (for quick cleanups when we dine in front
of the TV, or when a cat hock up a hairball) was where we left it - it MUST
have been an intruder!

Weeble the guard-cat!
Weeble the protector!
Weeble the great!

He got an extra treat & a special hug for his efforts (after I finished
laughing - but don't tell him that).

That's a hoot! I just called my mate in to read the screen over my shoulder,
and she fell apart too. Not because of Weeble's bravado in defending your
home, because Emily our guard cat does the same thing here. It's the wording
that did us in. I mean, "Weeble had defended the house from a marauding 1/2
roll of paper towel & left it to die a horribly lonely death in the middle
of the living room floor" would make a sphinx laugh!

Yes, that was a very well written, humorous tale, I had a good laugh,
too. Especially the conclusion that the roll in question must have been
an intruder!

Any new Weeble pics? He must be getting big!

We did take some piccies of Weebs attacking another roll of PT, this one NOT
an intruder, but a sacrificial roll (only about 4-5 towels left on it) that
was thrown on the floor as bait.  They are still on the CF card and I will
try to post them on Webshots within the next couple days

I finally got around to adding piccies of Weeble defending us from the
ferocious roll of paper towel (13 piccies total) to his Webshots album:

PS, Just caught up on Weeble's amazing story!  How proud you must be
of this furball and yourselves!

Stinky is also always aware of the dangers of having sheets of tissue
paper around, and pounces on them and shreds them before they can
carry out their evil schemes. ;)

Oh, what a fierce and brave guard kitty! Love your captions and especially
the pic "Paper towel doesn't taste so good". LOL!

What wonderful pictures and captions.  That cat could also have been named
Pretzel!!!  He is a cutie.

Actually, I **ALMOST** named him Hoover, as when I fed him as a wee kitten
(I hand raised him from a few days old), he had enough suck-power to
partially collapse the formula bottle!!!!  At least once (or twice) a
feeding, I had to *pry* the nipple out of his mouth as he didn't want to let
go of it, loosen the cap on the bottle and let some air in to relieve the
pressure - so he could feed a bit better.  And then when he was done gorging
himself, he would get the hiccups until I burped him!  After that, if I
tried to put him in his nest-box for a nap, he would get all fussy, so I
would hold him against my chest... and in about 5-10 minutes he would fall
sound asleep, then (and only then) could I put him back in his nest-box and
go about my own routine.

He is a spoiled little bugger.  When I was bottle feeding him, he would
scramble around frantically looking for the nipple, and I had to make an "O"
with my thumb & forefinger of one hand so his head would be still enough to
get the bottle to his mouth.  Now, in the middle of the night, he joins us
in bed, and when he's hungry, he finds one of my hands and nudges it with
his nose (even if he has to crawl under the blankets to find said hand)!

What a brave kitty to protect his hoomins from the evil, ferocious,
dangerous, paper towel monster.

Pam S. who's glad that she has her towel monsters tamed, more or less

Aww, what a good Weeble to defend your home so bravely! He earned his treat.

Awesome protection for a baby-kitty! Think what he will be when he is
all grown up! <beg>
