Donncha writes: I totally love my new stuff! TOTALLY!

February 29, 2008

First up dudes is for me to say how totally HAPPY I am about my new toy, a Tail Tickler. I just thought I’d post up this photo so you can see how much I love it. That’s me, KILLING it. See how it’s crying out for help? It is one dead Tail Tickler. Donncha vs. Crocodile and I totally won.

Also, ALSO, our goodies arrived! A full week after they were ordered! But, I forgive ‘em, because we finally got that new bed that Toni has been talking about for the last six years. NEW BED!  And you know what? It totally rocks. It’s got really high side so you fell all safe and snug AND (and this is so the best thing ever!) it has a little pouch and inside that pouch is a thing you can MICROWAVE so the bed is all warm! How amazing is that? Pretty amazing, believe you me, especially when you consider it’s STILL winter. I love our my new bed, it rocks.

I was in it for ages, then I went to get a drink and Darcy done gone stole it off me, the cheeky little minxette sister! So later, when she was in the big orange bed and I was feeling a bit naughty (and okay, a bit high on cat nip) I launched myself at her and totally nearly pulled her head off! She was asleep so she didn’t even see me coming! SO FUNNY.

Actually, M&D didn’t seem to think it was that funny. They totally took Darcy’s side. Now I expect this from Paul, as for some reason he’s utterly gone on Darcy, but Toni is supposed to be totally gone on me but she was still doing the old “DON-A-CHA!” which, you know, is getting kinda old. Before I knew it, Paul had grabbed me and I was in the bathroom on a “time out”.

So I cried for Toni. Naturally. I know she can’t stand to hear my crying, so I gave it a good old yowl at maximum volume. And even though I HEARD her say, “I really don’t like hearing him cry!”, she did NOTHING about it. I was in there for about 12 hours. When I was finally released, I went over to her and snuggled against her and was extra affectionate so she felt really guilty, and SO SHE SHOULD. What is happening to the world if you can’t attack your own sister once in a while? She is my sister; that is what she is for.

I mean, I don’t even really “attack”. It’s always playful between us three. But Darcy made such a big deal of it and I ended up getting punished. And you know what? It’s just made me more likely to do it again to teach her a lesson and teach M&D that you can’t be imprisoning a Demon like me.

Still, I’ve still got all my new stuff, and my brief period of incarceration has taught me a valuable lesson: not to attack Darcy while she is in bed. While the humans can see. Easy.

We DID GET SOMETHING IN THE POST TODAY! But it was not that new bed that Toni has been going on about for the last YEAR. No, that has been “delayed” according to the email Toni read to me earlier, which is so not on, but anyway. What did arrive was these:

Yes! Tail teasers from Pet Planet (£1.99)! You put a bag of cat nip (cat nip! cat nip!) in their mouths and then… you unleash the Donncha Demon! We got two crocodiles, which was apparently a mistake as we’d only ordered one (note from Toni: I have checked and we also only paid for one, so happy times). And I? I totally killed them. I chased them around for hours and now they’re all weak and dead.

I was also high on this cat nip that was also bought, so I was having mega, MEGA fun. But seriously, those toys totally rule. And £1.99? Why, we could have one for every day of the week… (HINT, Toni, HINT).

Also, I think my sister has lost it a bit. She wrote about these toys earlier but she called them MICE. What the hell? They are very clearly crocodiles. It must be the nip, which it has to be said, seems to affect her twice as much as it does me and Austin. And it makes her VIOLENT. She attacks you for like, no reason, or smacks you for chasing her tail or something. Iss-ues.

And (why, this is a long post) Toni got some runes the other day and has been doing loads of “readings” with them. I listened in on one, where she asked these runes (which it must be said, aren’t very impressive. Lumps of rock, really) “will Paul and I have children?” and she pulled out the rune for Fertility – out of all the runes, she got that one! I don’t want any human children around here, thank you very much! I am Toni’s baby and that is how it will stay, mmk?

Also, she’s a wee bit pissed off with me because the feather quill she bought for doing her witch-stuff (so glad it isn’t the 1600s, cos Toni would be D-E-A-D)… well, that quill is kind of bent and ruffled at the end. And I do not know how that happened. Shocking, really.

Still, maybe the bed will arrive tomorrow? And if it doesn’t, Toni’s still got money left over on her Pet Planet vouchers, so there’ll be new stuff soon anyway! But I really want that bed. Bah to Pet Supermarket.

My idiot brother was posting yesterday about the lack of goodies, so he was really happy today when Daddy stumbled downstairs and re-appeared with a box in his hands. “Awesome, a box!” he bellowed, “That’s a toy AND a snack!” So Mummy opened the new box and produced some MICE! Now, I’ve been hoping for some of those since a local cat told me how much nummier they are than flies and spiders. So I have to say I was disappointed when it turned out they were just TOY mice.

I soon cheered up when Mummy proceeded to fill the toy mice with catnip and put them on the floor. I had an enjoyable 15 minutes playing with them and then I went to my sofa for a nap. When I woke up Mummy and Daddy were talking about how “mad” I get when I’ve had catnip. They’re so silly, talking about me being mad when there was a load of food on the floor. I think Donncha must have knocked it over, and he even managed to get some in my fur. I don’t even know how he did that. As I say, I was asleep and I had the nummiest dream where I was riding a dragon round the flat, and food kept flying all round me.

Anyway, a big furry monkey wants to use the computer now so I think I’ll go for another nap. Bye-bye!


Product Review: Good Girl Catnip Drops

February 23, 2008

I picked up these Good Girl Cat Nip drops on a spur of the moment. Like all cats, Darcy, Donncha and Austin are truly cat nip crazy and Austin in particular likes to lick and eat cat nip leaves, so I thought it’d be a good idea for them to have something cat nip that’s definitely safe to eat.

Happily, my spur-of-the-moment purchase has gone down very well with the miaowers. Darcy and Donncha have spent the past hour rolling around on top of the drops themselves, then eventually eating them. Even Austin has succumbed to their charms. They’ve all thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the usual affects of cat nip, then they’ve had the additional happy of being able to eat the drops when they’re done getting high. They’ve gone down incredibly well, and for 69p, everyone’s happy!
