Yesterday, howling gales and larruping down with rain, Tushtots needed to go out. So on with his halter and clipped the lead on for a lazy mosey round the garden inspecting which bush was to be christened. I followed him round, soaked to the bone, clothes wringing wet, hair plastered to my head and water dripping off my nose as I held the golf umbrella close to the ground over him so that his fur wouldn’t get a spot of rain on it!!
Needless to say Prince Precious took his time, waddled round the garden with me and the brolly in close attendance giving each plant and bush a good sniff. He noted the pond level was up so he continued his life’s ambition of trying to drink all the water, thus exposing the newts - that took a good 5 minutes before he gave up then it was hole digging time. And as the first hole is never ‘the one’ he has to excavate one or two more before he feels he has the most satisfactory one in which to park breakfast!!
Then another perambulation round the garden deciding which succulent choice blade of grass is the one that’s going to tempt him to chew on. Then over to the catnip bush, sheltering under trees so it’s nice and dry, for him to roll on for another 10 minutes before begrudgingly deciding that it may just be time to go inside again for a few sweeties and supervise me defrosting in a bath and finding dry clothes.
Read Cat's book called Willi Whizkas, featuring, Willi, Tushtots, and Ginger Tompkins. It's a great read! Follow this link at www.amazon.co.uk

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."
