Slash and The Gap

Remember how Slash used to stick both his paws under the door?

I caught him doing it again, but this time it was under the table between two boxes.

Mommy: What are you doing, Slash?

Slash: I'm waiting for someone to help me get into the gap.

Mommy: But why do you have to stick your paws into it like that? It's weird.

Slash: It's not weird. I'm pointing you to where I want to go, silly! I thought it was obvious.

PS. Even though it looks incriminating with my big name all over the box, those maxi nappies are not mine, I swear!

Raspberry Repartee

Bronzy: I have a raspberry for you, Slash.

*pbbrrrruuurrrrpptttz*

Slash: Do you want 'The Paw'?

Bronzy: Nope. Sorry!

Slash Gives a High Five

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

A very Happy Lunar New Year to all our Chinese friends!

May the Year of the Water Dragon flood you with good luck and great fortune!

Because preparations for Chinese New Year includes a thorough spring cleaning of the house,

I thought I'd give both Slash and Bronzy a thorough cleaning too.

So after a good scrub-down in a warm bath,

I gave the kitties a furious brushing.

As you would all know by now,

Slash hates the Furminator with a vengeance.

His latest strategy to get out of a brushing session is to give me a high five.

So whenever I know that the brushing is over,

instead of just stopping, I'd ask Slash for a high five and he'd give me one.

Here's one of his high fives captured on a friend's mobile phone.

A Lesson for Slash in Never Giving Up

Slash: I'm ready, Mommy! Go ahead and swing that wand!

Mommy: But, Slash, that bag strap is in your way. Why don't you move away from it first?

Slash: Don't worry about it. I have the moves! It won't get in my way at all.

Mommy: Alright then. Here it comes!

Slash reaches out quickly...

But gets smacked right in the face!

Mommy: Slash, are you okay? 

Slash: Er... yeah! I meant for that to happen.

But the poor boy shrinks away in embarrassment.

Mommy: That's ok, Slashy. I'll swing it again and you'll get it this time. Here it comes!

Slash reaches out once more, this time with the other paw.

And the boy gets his feather!

Slash's First Music Video

For my very first blog entry this 2012,

I have a treat in store for you.

I bring to you Slash's first music video!

This video shows you what it is like when I give Slash a butt bath.

You'll get to see the struggle, the resulting holes in my clothes,

the cries of protest, the look of murder,

and finally the surrender.

Enjoy!

(Please let me know if you have trouble loading the video.)

Our Christmas Portrait

We hope everybuddy had themselves a fun-filled, love-filled Christmas celebration.

We ourselves had extra helpings of stinky goodness and snackies to fill our furry bellies,

plus extended games with our favourite feathered wand.

So we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

To thank Mommy for such a good Christmassy time,

we obliged her by posing for some family shots.

Of course, there was still some fussing when we couldn't decide who should stand where

and ended up standing on top of each other.

But we finally got things sorted out.

Here's one that we would like to share with you, our furry friends!

With purrs and nosekisses,

Slash & Bronzy

The Good Assistant

Slash: Assistant Prawn!

Bronzy: Hmmm?

Slash: Assistant Prawn! Come and style my fur NOW!!!

Bronzy: Yes, Sir! I'm on my way!

Bronzy: Just close your eyes and relax, Sir. I'll give your ears a good cleaning first.

Bronzy: Then I'll massage your scalp.

Bronzy: I won't forget the brows, of course.

Bronzy: And I'll pay close attention to those sideburns.

Bronzy: And then you'll be the most stylish in the house.

Slash: Not a bad job. I like what I see. Go reward yourself with a drink from the kitty bar.

Bronzy: Oh, thank you, Sir!

Bronzy: I'll have my usual...

 

Bronzy: H₂O neat!

Bronzy: Oh yum, that was good. And now to rest till my next job.

And now... here was what happened 2 days ago when Mommy's friend brought a balloon to the house.

Slash got totally spooked by it and Mommy had to comfort him.

He kept wanting to run away, but Mommy made him stay.

She stroked his chin to calm him and explained that there was nothing scary about balloons.

So Slash did his best not to run and hide.

But he was extremely suspicious of the balloon. 

He stared and stared and stared at it without blinking at all.

Gotta say that I was impressed that his eye balls didn't dry out.

And that he didn't get a stiff neck.

Mommy stayed to comfort Slash for quite a long time and he seemed to relax.

But the moment Mommy got distracted, he made a run for it.

Hmmm... looks like balloons can now be added to Slash's long and growing list of fears.
