Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006OMG, what a HAUL!
I dropped one of my smaller craft punches and it skittered under the (very small) dresser in the craftroom, so I had to try and fish it out with a ruler... while I was at it, the following appeared from the space: - approximately seven glitter balls - one shiny plastic bell cage - all three big wooly mousies (rats) that the girls adore - two fluffy pompoms - three golfballs - two sproingy springs - one lightweight plastic ball with a jinglebell in it - a couple of superballs - and a little plastic thingy that somebody stole from meowmie's desk All that was missing was the partridge in a pear tree :P No wonder their toy supply has been dwindling - it was all under there! >I dropped one of my smaller craft punches and it skittered under the >(very small) dresser in the craftroom, so I had to try and fish it [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >No wonder their toy supply has been dwindling - it was all under >there!

We moved the recliner last week and found nine tennis balls. Kayla is just overwhelmed now trying to watch them all at once. Jake finds that amusing. Jo > I dropped one of my smaller craft punches and it skittered under the > (very small) dresser in the craftroom, so I had to try and fish it [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > All that was missing was the partridge in a pear tree :P Our lot tend to specialize. Ishmael used to hide under the bath in our old flat - there was an opening in the front, the rest of it blocked off by panelling, so you couldn't get at the underside. He got seriously ill once and wouldn't come - I had to break the panelling apart with a hammer to get him to the vet. Whereupon I found the reason why we kept losing bathplugs. Zeke's favourite was the plectrums I used on my cumbuses (see my page at http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/Music/Cumbus/cumbus.html , they're a Turkish fretless lute-banjo - the cats in the pictures are Ishmael, Muriel and Splodge). I used to leave the plectrums interlaced through the strings at the top. Every so often there'd be a distinctive BOING!!!, a streak of black fur racing out of the room, and the plectrum would turn up a few months later crumpled up and full of little toothmarks. The weirdest animals-collecting-things story I've ever come across is also on my website: http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/Oddities/uranium-rats.html Those little jingly balls are a menace. They'll usually disappear in a few days and never be seen again until a time when it's crucial you need a full night's sleep, whereupon there'll be a full-on football match with one at 3am. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 > Zeke's favourite was the plectrums I used on my cumbuses (see my > page at http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/Music/Cumbus/cumbus.html , > they're a Turkish fretless lute-banjo - the cats in the pictures > are Ishmael, Muriel and Splodge). I love that first picture. It looks like the cat was deliberately placed there to show scale. :) Which kitty is that, btw? > I used to leave the plectrums > interlaced through the strings at the top.

That was an interesting page. I've never even heard of the cumbus before, although I've listened to some Turkish music.

That was Ishmael, who died on Monday. Neither he nor Muriel was going to move just because I wanted to use the bed as a photographic backdrop, so I decided to use them as rulers. The two of them were deadly enemies for most of their lives - Ishmael was in Marion's flat first, I brought Muriel with me when I moved in, and they were always fighting over who got the favoured armchair or cushion. Then a couple of years ago they made up, and would even curl up together. It was very sweet. Muriel (aged about 16) had a breast tumour removed a few weeks ago but she's bouncing around like a six- month-old kitten. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 > I dropped one of my smaller craft punches and it skittered under the > (very small) dresser in the craftroom, so I had to try and fish it [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > No wonder their toy supply has been dwindling - it was all under > there! I am afraid to move the couch and see what is under it. I know when I was first acquired by Persia she was fascinated by the bowl of wrapped Brachs Butterscotch candies. She'd nip them out of the bowl, bat them all around. One day the element in my oven went out. When the maintenance man pulled the stove away from the wall to unplug it before replacing the element... tons of butterscotch candies! Apparently they scoot better on linoleum so she took them to the kitchen. Then they got batted between the stove and the cabinet.

I used to hear what sounded like a bowling alley at night. Finally, I caught my resident cat, Bikkie, chasing a walnut up and down the length of the hall. That explained why the big bowlful of assorted nuts I had in the receiving room had to be refilled so often! I should've known my guests weren't eating them like popcorn.

Somebody did. You have to wonder what they thought as the assorted nuts turned up in all the nooks and corners. I think Charlie had a little better when he was stationed in Edinburgh, he lived upstairs from a shortbread factory.

Quick calculation I think he got that in 1992 (I remember him getting it and it was when he worked at Camberwell so it had to be 92-93) this was when the Furballs were about a year old...so that mousie was 12 years old! And I hadn't seen it for ages, long before 1999 when Fuagzi crossed the Bridge Ummm....I have been known to do housework! Honest!
