Video: Cat Meets Bunny

September 1st, 2010 by monnibo

I compiled this from video clips I took on the second day of Pancake’s visit. Henry is a little better but still doesn’t like when the bunny hops straight at him.

House Guest

August 20th, 2010 by monnibo

Henry (my cat) and our house guest, Pancakes the Bunny

Henry’s not quite sure what to make of him. They sniff each other, they ignore each other, they frighten each other when the other moves suddenly… I’m going to be very amused for the next two weeks. The bunny’s name is Pancakes and he will be visiting for a couple weeks.

When the Humans Are Away…

Do you ever wonder what kind of shenanigans and adventures your pets get up to when you’re not home? I can tell you with 99.9% certainty that Henry does exactly this:

Stay at home Cat

Biiiiig stretch

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday to the other humans out there!

Dogwalking in the ‘Grove

August 5th, 2010 by monnibo

A couple weekends ago we took the Ranch’s dogs for a long walk around Aldergrove. We walked mostly along roads but only had to have the dogs sit for cars occasionally.

Bulldog at the FenceOne of the houses we passed either had a lot of dogs, was a private rescue, or maybe a doggie daycare. They had at least five dogs and more I could hear but couldn’t see.

My favourite was this bulldog who would run through their hedges and spread-eagle on the fence to bark at our dogs. Craig snapped a photo with his phone, but oh how I wish I’d brought my camera!

Tiger in a Bag

July 28th, 2010 by monnibo

Henry’s favourite toy is a large, crinkly, plastic bag.

'eye' see you -- cat in a plastic bag

He likes to sit in them and just watch me, but he also loves to play in them too. I should remember to take a video next time he’s playing! Happy Whiskers on Wednesday.

Arrr! Pirate Cat!

July 21st, 2010 by monnibo

Here's winking at you babe ;)

Here's winking at you babe ;)

Grrr... I mean Arrr... I'm I pirate

Occasionally Henry gets all squinty in one of his eyes. I’ve taken him to the vet and he doesn’t have a scratch on the cornea or anything. I think sometimes he just gets a piece of fur in his eye that I can’t seem to get out. The other day it happened again, and he looked so much like a little pirate cat winking at me, that I decided to make him an eye patch.

Whiskery Weekends

July 7th, 2010 by monnibo

If I’m out of town for more than 24 hours, my mom likes to have my cat, Henry, over for a visit. Last weekend (Canada Day long weekend) I went out of town so my mom had Henry over. My sister is also out of town so she’s currently taking care of my sister’s cat, Sasafrass, too.

A few weekends ago the cats were napping and had swapped blankets; Henry was on Sasafrass’ and Sasafrass was on Henry’s blanket pad. I cooed and melted and couldn’t believe mom hadn’t snapped a picture. So last weekend, mom made sure to take photos of the furkids (her grandcats) sleeping.

Does this Wednesday make my Whiskers look big?

June 23rd, 2010 by monnibo

Does this box make my butt look big?

Does this box make my butt look big?

Henry is a simple cat; he likes crumpled paper, plastic bags, and cardboard boxes. I usually have one for him that’s an appropriate size, but when I finished unpacking his cat food the other week, he immediately settled in. I find the standard 11 x 17 -ish boxes to be a tad small, so I usually save a sodapop flat from Costco for him.

P.S. No, Henry doesn’t have a complex about his weight. He’s happy, healthy, and living on the larger side of life.

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday!

Dogs on Thursday from across The Pond

May 27th, 2010 by monnibo

Craig also sent me these pictures of Oscar, an Old English Sheep Dog. From the sounds of it, he’s excelling on lead and much better behaved during walks than his brother Harvey.
