Mikey-Mike seems a regular in snoozzee corner in the front room these days. The Gingie-crew do not seem at all bothered with him. So much for the territorial tom cat that is Willi Whizkas, useless old cat. The only time there is trouble is first thing in the morning.
Mikey-Mike invites himself into the kitchen having slept outside under the pergola in his cardboard during the night. Maid has filled the box with old jumpers to keep him warm and snug. He then aggressively attacks the food. Dippi-Duck is guaranteed to hiss, spit and clout him before falling over. But as she is so tiny he just ignores her. Maid has now started feeding Gingie-crew before letting Mikey-Mike in for breakfast as he Hoovers food at quite an alarming rate, it’s a wonder he’s not sick. Wills doesn’t see him, a fully intact tom cat, as a threat and Dippi, after clouting him in the fight for food will just sit and gaze in adoration at Mikey-Mike, but I think her love is unrequited.
I was rather disconcerted today when Mikey-Mike began exploring the house and actually came into my bedroom. I peered down at him from my designer duvet and narrowed my eyes. Thankfully Maid was right behind him to point out to him that this bedroom is far too upper class for him to be allowed into, my room is clearly in the executive area and out of bounds to riff-raff. With that he was scooped up then carried back to the kitchen for even more food. How much can that cat force into his vastly bloated tummy?
Maid’s version!
Mikey-Mike is coming inside more and more. He just wants to be loved and fed, then have a comfy snooze before going out for the night. He does seem to be deteriorating a little and his skin is now very yellow.
Whatever he wants food wise, he gets. He just is desperate to have a full tummy. He decided today that he was going to explore the areas of Tom Cat Towers he’d not seen yet and with that he took himself off for the self guided tour, I was close behind him just in case.
He peered round the door of my bedroom to see Madam glaring down at him from the bed, and he seemed to know that this was an area which he was forbidden to enter. He’s quite an intelligent sort really!
The Very Best Toy for Cats
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise when you jump on it."
