Jack be nimble....

Have you ever noticed how big a baby's head is on its body? Apparently its like that because its difficult to get all that brain into something smaller.

With cats its at the other end!

Today we got a kitten. Matilda called him Jack. (Good name) .... but check out the relationship between the size of his body, and the size of his bum hole! Er... so why IS that?



When I brought Jack back to the house this morning from the pet shop, I'd not really considered Monty's reaction too much. I knew that he'd be a bit put out, but it was a bit of a shame that he tried to eat him! Twice! The first time Jack was obviously a bit surprised by it too.... but the second attempt had him spitting at Mont rather convincingly for one so small. Then, to prove a point, he sank his teeth through my finger! This had the desired effect and I got him 'outa there'.
Daile took the cat out to the office/playroom and she and Phoebe spend most of the day out there, with Monty looking in and Jack taunting him at the window.

Bernadette had the idea that we could use the fence that we had been using to keep Monty off the drive, to keep Mony off the cat IN the house. Brilliant! So now we could get the cat in, get the dog used to it, and all hang out.



Monty circled the cage for hours, getting the occasional nip, and eventually lick in. For his part, Jack eased up on the hissing, and by the end of the evening there seemed to be an uneasy resignation in Monty's face.





Needless to say, Matilda was in her little girly Richard Attenborough heaven...



'...and here you can just see that if I hold his ears back like this...he looks like Pamela Anderson having a face lift'....









For these precious moments...we pay for the next 16 years! God I'm a cynic.
Daile incidentally has gone to bed with him!

Doesn't she realise that shit comes out of these things? I bet he's asleep on my pillow! I'll probably wake up looking at that bum tomorrow!

Bless!
