I interviewed my cats


Some people think that cats are all the same. They’re not. They each have their own distinct personalities and, with Anne Mackle’s permission, I’m going to ask my cats the questions that she passed on to me as part of the Kreativ Blogger Award on her blog, Is Anyone There?  Their answers will prove that the only thing my cats have in common is the colour of their fur.

In case you’ve not met my girls this is Mabel:

And this is Charlie:

And here goes with the questions:

1. What is your favourite song? [I know! Cats don’t sing but my two have very different voices, look...]
Mabel: “Brrrrp”
Charlie: “Meeeoooo”

2. What is your favourite food?
Mabel: “Whiskas Bite N’Chew.”
Charlie: “Whiskas Bite N’Chew today but tomorrow I may have gone off it.”

3. What ticks you off?
Mabel: “Humans trying to cuddle me. Yaaark!”
Charlie: “Closed doors. I have to open all doors so I can explore.”

4. What do you do when you’re upset?
Mabel: “I drop down into a little gap at the back of the desk and I hide.”
Charlie: “I find someone’s lap to sit on.”

5.  What is your biggest fear?
Mabel: “Humans cuddling me, Yaaark!”
Charlie: “Having to go back to that homeless cat shelter!”
Mabel: “Oh yea, that as well.”

6.  What is your attitude to life?
Mabel: “My face often looks grumpy but I’m not really... unless a human tries to cuddle me. Yaaark!”
Charlie: “I love this place and everything’s so fascinating that I have to explore, unless it’s scary. I’m not as brave as Mabel.”
Mabel: “Soooo true! It’s always me who chases off cats and squirrels while you sit and watch through the window!”

7. What is perfection?
Mabel: “Watching birds from under a bush in the garden.”
Charlie: “Stretching out in the conservatory with the sun on my tummy and sleeping on the bed while the humans have an early morning cup of tea.”
Mabel: “How could you do that, Charlie? Sitting on their bodies! Yaaark!”

8. What is your guilty pleasure?
Mabel: “Bringing a live mouse into the house and watching the humans race round trying to catch it.”
Charlie: “Opening cupboard doors after the humans have spent ages fitting new cat-proof catches.”

Wouldn't it be a boring world if all cats were the same!

Do pop over and visit Anne sometime soon at Is Anyone There? We have a lot in common and we only found out through blogging. Isn’t this blogging world a fascinating place!
