Fashion- Cat!

Just a short post today I wanna let the captures speak for itself, let's just say apparently Baileys really wants to make clear she isn't consumption-oriented, by announcing my Cooking-Skirt, her new favourite toy;-)

cheers Lexi

What's in a toy?

Really I mean isn't a cat's life hard enough? No apparently not or humans have a very sick humor ( which some have indeed, but this is a cat-blog so....;-) ). They take a little furry ball and an elastic band and finished is the total frustration. That tiny little thing possesses the impudence to jump up and down if you try to catch it. [in the middle of writing this post the inside of mentioned furry ball was lying all over the floor;-)]
What is a clever cat to do, when she is bored with the toys humans intend for her to play with? Right, explore her surroundings and figure out a way to transform boring human items into exciting new toys! String curtain- plain boring, make that coloured-bouncing-super-swinging-cat-toy and it gets all exciting.

We also made progress concerning, the scratching post and the what-is-allowed-area, but more of that another time, someone whos nickname is gonna be the cuddly cat from now on, requires my undivided attention....

My Cat isn't consumption-oriented

Yes while some humans tend to chase after shoes, bags or any other product designed for human individuals, I can now proudly say: My Cat isn't consumption-oriented! That must be what her look should imply as I unpacked and presented her with a selection of cat-toys I had bought at the store. It was a mixture of :' You humans take some colourful feathers,pin them on a stick and we're supposed to chase them, when they aren't even eatable?' and 'Sorry but the packing material really is much more fun to play with'

Which I couldn't really object to, as the belt she created and dressed herself with, quite fit her and yes of course my colourful skirt or my tiger slippers made for more intriguing toys, I can relate to that. I am proud to live with a cat, who is the pure animal image of myself as a teenager ( and right now in fact;-) ) : 'Don't go with the flow, when you can't see a reason for it' Apart from that fact, which was important to find out, I also detected an attitude one her that reminded me of my fellow classmates, back a few years ago: If I don't act too bright, there will be no high expectations'. On the other hand I understand that she couldn't see a point in getting food out from under a cup, or out of a little ball, when the same food got presented to her in a bowl. She also made a real good imitation of my mother, when I got home drenched from the little thunderstorm that went down, when she really convincingly gave a sound that sounded just like : How are you looking again, why didn't you wait til the rain was over, why didn't you use an umbrella.....' Well Baileys is certainly worth her money ( not literally as I got her for free, thank you once again honey*waves*) and I get the feeling there is A LOT lying in store for us, in the future and I can't wait!

So far, so good

She is furry, she is four-legged and on a mission to cuddle- Baileys, my new ( and first) cat, which I picked up today at (about) 9 a.m. The newest member of my private zoo wasn't all too excited about travelling, especially underground and after the first few minutes in her new home, she took shelter in one of my closets. Soon however she began exploring her surroundings and followed my every step for the next few hours, we even took a nap together. When my friend ( the most generous and fascinating person in the world;-) ) told me that baileys liked to cuddle, that was cleary an understatement. Over all the cuddling, exploring, eating and searching for new favourite spots (e.g. the windowsill, her transport box, the spot behind me when sitting on a chair, lying next to me in my bed....) she got really tired and right now has picked the most uncomfotable looking position to slumber behind me on not one, no two chairs....

well so good, so far, I can't wait to see what lies in store for the project cat,

cheers
