GEMINI - The (exclusive) Interview
Gemini Cat on the
couch (no change there then) tells her innermost thoughts...
What's
your favourite food? Prawns, although I'll eat most things.
Well, apart from the really cheap stuff! Oh, and custard
straight
from the pot, (no calories when it's from the pot you see). I am also rather partial to a lick or two of tiramisu on special occasions!
 Favourite
pastimes? Eating, naturally, relaxing of course, sitting
by the pond, and walnut Whacking (at Christmas). I'm rather nifty with a Wiggly Waggler too!
What's your best
memory? About a week after being rescued from the
sanctuary, realising I was here to stay for good.
Your worst memory? I
did have two of those: having drops put in my ears when I had ear
mites, and squidgy
cream
in my
eye when
I'd
damaged it a few years ago. But these have recently been overtaken by something far worse - having a football-pitch sized area of my glorious tabby bib shaved off to give a blood sample... only to be told I was as fit as a fiddle, so they'd shaved my fur for nothing!
What would you change about your
home? I'd have a cat flap in every door, and a bowl of prawns
in every room.
I'd
also get rid of the
vacuum cleaner, the lawn mower and the garden shredder.
Who's your best
friend? George, my old housemate and co-founder of Cat Chat, who
sadly went to Rainbow Bridge in 2004. I've had other housemates since, and my current co-habitees are a young whipper-snapper called Tangle, and an even younger whipper-snapper called Yogi. I suppose Tangle is sort of like my best friend now... but no one can really replace my George.
 Who
do you most admire? I'd have to say Bagpuss. He has
the right attitude towards relaxing, and he's also a Cat Chat
patron! I'll admit to also have a sneaking admiration for the late Colonel Beau Cat, he knew how to give orders, and he taught me how to drink out of the tap!
Do you have a motto? The job's not done
'til the bowl's empty.
What would you put into Room 101? Cheap
cat food,
and laps
that won't sit still.
What do you consider
your greatest achievements? Beating up the Ginger
Thug (the local feline
bully) and catching a rat. Oh, and my contributions to the Cats' Diaries over the years, of course!
What's your
favourite quote? 'Even overweight cats instinctively know how
to arrange
themselves in
slim poses'.
What's your favourite sport? Cycle Speedway actually, (thanks Arthur).
Finally, tell us something
you've never told anyone before. This is confidential,
isn't
it? Yes, 'course
it is! OK
then, that time
when the folks found their tuna sandwich
somehow didn't have any tuna left
in it any more, George
got the blame.
Well
it wasn't
George. I was just smart enough to scarper!
