If you at all, even seldom, follow my blog you may remember the Ladybug Perch I made for our cat, Winston, who loves to sit by the window and peer outside and watch the world go by. Well, today, I'm posting a long awaited update. A LONG time...like maybe seven-eight months?!!
To acquaint you with the special stool, I and Bud made for him, you'd have to go here first. This will open in a new window so you won't lose your place for this Wednesday's update photos. Let me tell you...he did NOT like the new contraption. Not one bit!!! And if you go to the link I just provided, you'll see just how he still got himself to watch outside withOUT touching foot/body onto the ladybug!....
Now let's begin here. Some of these photos were taken several months ago. At first I saw some small telltale signs of our dear little Winnie and his secret rendezvous with one certain ladybug stool!
Notice something that looks quite suspicious do you? Seems there is a bit of 'fur' that just doesn't belong here! Right?


But for weeks, all I found was just the hairs from his body. I never, EVER actually saw him make use of it. I figured he'd watch the world pass by when we were gone. That was the only logical...well, wait, he may have used it at night...but the blinds are pulled, he certainly wouldn't use it at night would he? Who knows what runs through a cat's mind.
Anyway,...this IS WORDFUL Wednesday right? Ya, okay...I'm being full of words again. To update you all...I finally caught him in the act!!!!! I never did use catnip as suggested either. He came around, and found out it is quite to his liking. He uses it often now that we all have seen him.
And here the little turd he is....

the little turd, heee heeee heeeee. cats and parrots have habits that can drive me demented. i know they'll like it, but to convince them of that fact before they are ready....... yeah well, you may notice patience isn't my strongest virtue....
ReplyDeleteHahaha ! that's typical cat !
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat AND a funny story.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Chris
What a cute kitten!
ReplyDeleteMy cat Elvis is the same. I had bought him a nice soft cuddly mouse to sleep on, but NO he likes to sleep in an ordinary cardboard box!!
:)
Hehe, funny little bugger! My favorite thing about cats is their "I do what I want" attitudes! They all seem to have it!
ReplyDeleteHe is a really beautiful kitty!
ReplyDeleteCute blog!
What a cute cat and a neat story:-)
ReplyDeletehehe...caught him! we had a great old dog named Winston...a regal name
ReplyDeleteBusted! Nice page...thanks for inviting me over :)
ReplyDeleteAwww what a beautiful kitty! Loved the story too! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww! The little mischief maker is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHa! I bet he loves to get his little paws in that ladybug fur and knead:) Cute pic of him in the act on the stool.
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Glad he finally made use of your cool stool! I would have cuddled right up on that big cushion!
ReplyDeleteHe is a cute kitty!! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteHaha.. the mystery was solved. Very cute cat and stool.
ReplyDeleteOH...they think they are so sly!! Love the stool. I would so bask in the window on that cute cushion/even though some stuffing was pulled out!
ReplyDeleteSneeky little kitty. New to the blog. Off to go look around.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. He just wants you to know that he's in charge.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your header!!
That's a cat for you! So glad he likes it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny! Glad he finally likes his new perch!:)
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest stool...I LOVE ladybugs...Glad your cat finally came around!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!

Sneaky little buggers, aren't they? Mine seems to think that MY chair is HIS. So I'm sitting on the floor typing while he sits in the chair. So wrong.
ReplyDeleteLOL ... a bit of persistence often leads to resolutions of these mysteries. I participated in Wordful Wednesday at Small Reflections today ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
What a WW...and as for the cat...typical and hilarious!

ReplyDeleteLove the ladybug stool! Glad he is finally using it :)
Tee-hee! :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Glad you caught him!
ReplyDeleteGotta love cats!!!
ReplyDeletehehehehe too cute!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you posted about this little stool for kitty. I'm glad he finally decided to use it. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm glad you finally got your Jack in the Box. I didn't realize they didn't have they everywhere but guess not.

I think that's a rather endearing story. Funny too!
ReplyDeleteToo too funny!!
ReplyDeleteha - the fav spot for a cleaning
ReplyDeleteha ha ha. Caught. He was pretty slick for a long time though!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at making me smile, I love you.
ReplyDeleteYour kitty is beautifu. How like a cat too. They never take suggestions, has to be their own idea. Funny
ReplyDeleteAnd yet we still love the "little turds"!! Congratulations on your patience, and staunch hard-headed refusal to move the perch. Ahn, but don't forget, sometimes in the future you WILL pay for this. :))
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I needed a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :)
Ha! I knew Winston would come around to your way of thinking and he was using it in secret. Cats are certainly cunning and he is one smart cat.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Anni. Are you feeling any better? I am but still quite under the weather. I haven't been out of the house since last Friday.
Blessings,
Mary
LOL! They always come around eventually. Kitty would have been on it in a FLASH! He has to try out every new surface that comes into the house!
ReplyDeletedarn cat! lol but look how inocent he looks!
ReplyDeleteLOL, caught in the act!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, what a sweetie pie!
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just wanted to let you know that your lovely lilac scarf arrived in today's mail. It's beautiful! Thanks so much for it. I still can't believe that I won.
ReplyDeleteYour blog has a nice new facelift for the new year. Happy bloggin' in '09.
Susan
Looks like he really likes it now!
ReplyDeleteA pretty spot for a pretty kitty!
