MM Au teaches Target a Lesson

Au is turning out to be an excellent tutor. He caught a small rat and brought it in to show Target.

Au dropped it on the floor, looked at our ten months old a man cat in training, and said "Meow!" Very definitely cat for "There you go, this is what I've been telling you about!"


Target approached it cautiously, patted it with his paw and was so excited, all he could do was purr. Au swelled with pride. I think he had more fun showing off his catch than he did killing it.

As the rat was dead, I let the two cats enjoy themselves for a while. Then I distracted them with supper and quietly disposed of the corpse.

I appreciate the care Au takes of his small friend but I secretly with he wouldn't be so thorough about the whole thing. I could have skipped this lesson no problem!

Trashed


We had some left over chicken from yesterday so Au demanded a it for a special breakfast. Since then he's been running around like a maniac.

He's been in the kitchen cupboards, inside the car, on top of the wardrobe, up on the garden wall... And all the way he's been shouting, "Yik, yik, meow, meow-RAUF!" He's been totally wild.

But he's no longer the kitten he once was. Having charged up and down the stairs three times in less than a minute, Au finally collapsed into bed. He's totally trashed but from the manic purring I think he's having a blast.

COT Kitty In The Box

Au in his boxWe turned our back on this fan box the other day and Au took immediate possession.

He still has his big box on the landing upstairs too. It's beginning to look lacy at the edges but Au adores his hideaway cum cat cowboy fort so we just hoover up the bits of cardboard that come off and let him enjoy himself.

Happy COT!

Happy New Year!

Can't believe it's 2007 - whatever happened to 2006 and 2005?

While we went out in the early evening of Hogmanae, I came back and enjoyed a quiet midnight at home with Scoop and Au.

Scoop doing the Big Brother thing and giving Au a friendly lick on the earNeither particularly likes this time of year when crackers go off all over the place. Au is especially nervous and looks to Scoop to hold his paw for him.

But they do enjoy the gourmet meals that come their way as part of the celebration! Scoop was looking a bit down when he realised his turkey has run out, and Au enjoyed the extra ham, so I've reminded them that Chinese New Year is coming up soon, which means they can expect roast pork and prawns to be on the menu soon. It's done the trick and they're smiling again.

Here they are, with Scoop doing the Big Brother thing and giving Au a friendly lick on the ear.

Happy New Year!

All Turkeyed Out

Scoop and Au are completely circular: thanks to a generous gift from their friend Usha yesterday, Scoop has had four turkey lunches today, and Au has had two plus one helping of ham. What's worse, I'm sure they're planning to pig out at dinner too.
Scoop and Au
Here they are, cleaning up afterwards and saying purr, purr, mrauf, and hmmmmm.

Good thing it's only Christmas once a year.

Merry Christmas!

Beta Blog


I've been unable to get this blog updated for over a week now. As my mate across the street, the technical genius who made the template for this blog, and my mate in Kuching, the one who runs the lepak server, can't figure out what's gone wrong, I'm pushing us over to Beta Blogger. Hopefully this will work. Hold on to your hats!

PS Here's a pic of Au scratching an itch - hope it's not fleas again

Introducing Scoop and Au and Target

Scoop lying on the Volkswagen BeetleThis is Scoop. Originally a street kitty from Kuching, the most beautiful town in Sarawak, Borneo, Scoop decided he wanted to live in a home with a comfortable sofa and hard working servants. He lived with us for 11 years and developed some very fine tastes. Scoop loved baked chicken, boiled chicken liver, and imported ham but he would settle for boiled chicken liver, Snappy Tom Pilchards, Friskies Gourmet biscuits and Whiskas Pockets. His favourite post-prandial occupation was having his tummy rubbed. Scoop passed away 20th September 2007 at about 6PM. He lived a good life, he was a great friend, and we miss him.

This is Au. Born in Malacca in West Malaysia, this handsome fluff was wrapped in several plastic bags, an oily rag and thrown out of a car. He was rescued and came to live with us. Today Au is a big, brave, beautiful cat with extremely pedestrian tastes in food. Au is a biscuit eating cat. He tucks into bowl after bowl of Friskies and Whiskas biscuits and will kill for a bit of local boiled ham, but he's not into tinned catfood - except for his breakfast of gourmet Snappy Tom pilchards. Au's interests are more active than Scoop's: Au has a genius for inventing complicated games.

When Scoop passed away, Au went into mourning. He was very lonely so we got him a friend to play with. Target moved in on Monday October 22nd 2007 and has captured our hearts. He's affectionate and enjoys rough games so the house is a constant whirlwind of activity.
