This is Rosie … a 12 week old, abandoned kitten who has been ‘adopted’ by Jill and me. As if the poor thing hadn’t suffered enough eh?
Anyway, while this little cute bundle of ‘weepoo energy’ proves pets DON’T look like their owners … she does demonstrate how much influence owners can have over their pets because in next to no time, she’s scarily adopted the households love for all things ‘television’ – be it film, series, video games.
Seriously, as soon as the TV goes on, her ‘bat-like’ ears go up and she watches the rubbish on the screen as if it was specially created for her.
Infact apart from the fact …
1 My house now looks like a bomb site
2 She has the odd moment where she acts like she’s just overdosed on speed
3 Makes me get up at 5am so she can have a 10 minute cuddle
… she’d bring out all the paternal instincts within me, however as …
1 I like a tidy house
2 I don’t like spending hours pulling animals from curtains, electrical cable, sofas [etc etc]
3 I don’t like getting up at 10am, let alone 5
… my Mum will have to wait a little longer before she hears the patting of any more feet!
She might be 12 weeks old and the size of a magazine, but she already rules the house!
I can categorically state the human species is the weakest of them all, ha!

Kai Lai wants a cat (actually so do I) but we can;t get one til we are sure what we are doing next year.
So I better not show her this post…
Comment by Rob Mortimer December 5, 2007 @ 8:02 amTidy house? Howard Hughes would think you’re over the top. Now tell me, is your “pet” an example of what happens when you cross a cat with a bat? She’s very cute but she has huge ears though I bet you fifty bucks you are a complete softy with her. Sarah just saw this post and said your greatest achievement has to be convincing such a beautiful woman as Jill to be your wife 🙂
Comment by Pete December 5, 2007 @ 8:07 amLook. Judging by that last pic its a bit early into the cat relationship to be fed exing the poor little mite somewhere else isn’t it?
Comment by Charles Frith December 5, 2007 @ 8:15 amHello Charles …
While that isn’t a Fedex Box [and if it was, it would be TNT given we’ve just won them, ha] sending her off somewhere has crossed my mind about 80 times given in the short time we’ve had her she’s …
Destroyed a floral display
Broken my bloody Xbox 360
Pulled down a massive lamp and smashed it
Eaten electrical cables
… and that’s on top of the getting up early / house mess rubbish.
Which all goes to show I owe Pete $50! 🙂
Comment by Rob December 5, 2007 @ 8:20 amShe has your eyes. Beady and mischievous.
Comment by Billy Whizz December 5, 2007 @ 9:02 amIt’s nice to have you pop in Billy.
Hope everyone is doing well and doing Jamie proud.
Will call you all later …
Comment by Rob December 5, 2007 @ 9:20 amThat’s an astute comment Billy and I completely agree. But should I be afraid that part of me finds the cat really cute at the same time?
Comment by fredrik sarnblad December 5, 2007 @ 9:47 amI knew you wanted me Freddie!
Comment by Rob December 5, 2007 @ 9:59 amHow much do you want for your catbat?
Comment by London Zoo December 5, 2007 @ 1:51 pmCover the cost of a new Xbox 360, floral display, poncey lamp and electrical cables and you have a deal.
Just don’t tell the wife or I’ll be the one sleeping in the cardboard box 🙂
Comment by Rob December 5, 2007 @ 1:53 pmGuess what my little girls want from Santa now.
Comment by Mary Bryant December 5, 2007 @ 2:36 pmIn future, could you please warn us when you’re putting child friendly images on your blog, it’ll save a lot of tears at bedtime.
Hope all is well and Rosie is absolutely adorable.
a whole lotta rosie!! she’s gorgeous! i have a cat and believe me, when rosie is old, fat and no longer wants to get up off the couch, let alone hang off the curtains, you’ll miss these times.
Comment by lauren December 5, 2007 @ 4:22 pmWhere’s Andy?
Comment by fredrik sarnblad December 5, 2007 @ 4:23 pmI don’t think your wife has bat-like ears. You should apologise to her.
Comment by John Dodds December 5, 2007 @ 5:39 pm1. I wouldn’t bet on it Lauren.
2. Why do you think Jill has her hair over her ears John?
3. Being the good, decent, honourable man that he really is Fred.
Comment by Rob December 5, 2007 @ 5:43 pmMy cats called Cato, on account of the way she used to attack my legs at all times when she was a kitten.
Comment by NP December 5, 2007 @ 7:49 pmNow she’s just like Mrs NP, only interested in me when she’s hungry.
That conjours up images NP that I don’t know whether I want in my head!
Comment by Robert December 5, 2007 @ 7:53 pmthat is a beautiful kitten! how’d you guys find her?
Comment by theletterzee December 7, 2007 @ 12:21 amHello … she is a beautiful kitten but as you’ll see from today’s post, she is also a potential man hater!
Jill got her from the Cat Protection League or something – and despite the pain, I do love her.
[I mean the cat, not just Jill 😉 ]
