Getting
to know Colonel Beau Cat
Come on then chaps, what are we waiting
for? Lets get this jolly interview thing started, I'm a busy
cat you know!
What's
your favourite food? Ah yes, well I'm a bit
picky on that score, although I'm up to five flavours now,
plus coley fish or chicken on special days. Can't be doing
with
those
girly sachets though.
Favourite
pastimes? Hmm, well let's think... windowsills are
good, especially sunny ones. I'm very partial to sitting on
the fence too. Oh, and the garden bench, that's good for whiling
away a few hours. Not forgetting patrolling the Eastern Front
(the Weed Borders) and a good old combat session with the bathroom
rug.
What's your best
memory? Oh I have lots of those, and that's not counting
the things I've forgotten! (the old memory's not what it was).
Catching my first mouse maybe, or getting my official 'Colonel
Beau' collar, or being granted the 'Order of the Wiggly Waggler'.
Or, possibly it was finding out that after all the homes I've
had
in the
past,
this is
now
my permanent
retirement residence.
Your worst memory? Hrmph,
that's an easy one. It was most definitely that time I had
constipation and
finding out the difference between the 'enemy' and
an 'enema',
frightfully undignified business!
What would you change about your
home? Isn't it obvious? I'm amazed our human troops
haven't put this right yet, it's such a glaring error... we
need a second catflap! I'll put in a requisition for
one, along with my suggestion for w-i-d-e-r windowsills!
Who
do you most admire? Ah yes, that's most certainly
Field Marshall Gemini. Any gal who growls like a lion in the
face of a cat my size has to be admired, she may be grumpy
but she has
gumption!
Do you have a motto? "It never does any harm
to ask for what you want."
What would you put into Room 101? Internal
Wigglies for one thing (technically known as 'worms'), nasty
little blighters. Also the 'usual suspects' - lawnmowers and
vacuum cleaners.
What do you consider
your greatest achievements? I'd like to say 'winning
round the Lady Gemini', but I'm still working on achieving
that one! So, it's climbing both of the hitherto
'un-climbeable' trees on the Cat Chat base. No tree's 'un-climbeable'
until the Colonel says so!
What's your
favourite quote? "There's no such thing
as an ordinary cat."
What's your favourite sport? Ah, trick question
is it? Depends on your definition of 'sport' really. If you're
meaning exercise type sports then I'd say shoelace pouncing
(I have a diploma in multi-directional shoelace control) and
wrestling the rug, but if you mean sport in the just-for-fun
sense, then it's definitely mice!
Finally, tell us something
you've never told anyone before: I've had a broken
jaw, you know. |
