WITH three more of Sponja’s latest kittens caught and waiting for new homes/the van from the local Chinese takeaway, we realised we’d need somewhere to house them. The spare catbox helped for a while but it wasn’t big enough. Then Ev hit on the idea of making a home for them out of PetCo cat carrier boxes and leftover moving cartons. With the aid of a craft knife, marker and a ton of tape we knocked this up last night and this morning. From left: bathroom, living area, kitchen, indoor pool. We were a tad disappointed that we couldn’t afford marble flooring […] IT’S taken a while, but the rest of Sponja’s second brood have finally shown themselves. I can’t tell if there’s four or five of them — two or three are black and the other two are identical to Mr. Fezziwig. They’re all about five weeks old and we have to capture them before they get too big and fast like the last lot did. It would be a lot easier if they’d just get stuck in a box like Fezzi did, but we’re going to have to get the trap out of the garage and go after them in our neighbour’s garden this weekend. There’s […] DEAR EMRIC: Once again you’ve let me and Ev down badly. All we had planned for tonight was watching some telly and playing with Mr Fezziwig. But after coming home from getting something to eat and doing some shopping, I’m going to have to clean your turds out of the bath. Now, Emric, we realise you’ve always had a problem with crapping in the sink and/or bath. No, wait, let me rephrase that. You’ve never had a problem with crapping in the sink and/or the bath. Or the kitchen floor, for that matter. We’re the ones who have a problem with it because we’re […]
MR FEZZIWIG continues to be the most adorable thing in the universe. He’s been to the vet and had a checkup and there’s nothing wrong with him. Ev and me have decided to keep him instead of putting him up for adoption because 1) we saved his life and 2) just look at him. Although this means going up to five cats (or possibly down to four if Emric pukes on the bathroom rug again) we feel it’s worth it to give him a safe home.
There are some fun and games with having so young a kitten, though. […]
AFTER much intense discussion between me and Ev, and after she pointed out that I’d named Sponja, Frosty, Emric, Iestyn and Snowy, we’ve decided to change Squeaker’s name to Mr […] SAY hello to Squeaker, the latest addition to our cat sanctuary home. Ev called me on the freeway because she could hear a kitten meowing non-stop in our neighbour Richard’s shed, the same one that used to house Sponja’s offspring. I arrived home to have a torch shoved in my hand and was ordered to climb through our broken fence into Richard’s garden to rescue the little sod (the kitten, not Richard). Hoping our neighbour was a) a heavy sleeper and b) not armed I found Squeaker trapped in a cardboard box, unable to get out. Once I’d moved some stuff […] BEGONE, FOUL STRUMPET! WITH Sponja up the spout* again, Ev decided that she needed somewhere safe to stay when she pops her sprogs (Sponja, not Ev). So while on a shopping trip to Costco she picked up a little dog/cat house and then left me to put it together this morning, citing “having to leave for work” as her ridiculous excuse for not helping. *Ev hates this phrase, but probably not as much as I hate having my nipples slapped while I’m trying to read. Camera gear: $2,000. Photo’s value: $0. Here it is, boxed and ready to be assembled by the one […] |
