Default Introducing our unbalanced cat, Dusty Springfield

We rescued a cat from our car park a few months ago, and she has been a house cat all this time due to us living in an apartment. We recently moved to the country.

She has always been a rather strange cat. We got her first toy, a mouse on a string attached to a stick, and this is still her favourite. So much so, that when you ask her where her mouse, she cries and then fetches it.

In addition, her favourite place to play is inside a bag, preferably paper. She will hide inside, and eventually fight her way out of it. if you pick up her bag, she comes at you as if to say get off my bag.





When I am eating cereal, she insists on climbing onto my knee and into the bowl to help herself. If I shoo her away and then try to eat another mouthful, she will bat at the spoon and knock it out of my hand.



She is a telly addict - and must be allowed to watch her favourite programmes, or she will walk back and forth in front of the tv screen.



She has an obsession with cotton wool buds - if the pack is left open, she will systematically remove each and every one and put them in the bath.



Her best friend is my bosc monitor Kevin - they spend hours winding each other up by pawing/clawing at each other through the viv glass!



We come home every night to find her face pressed up against the glass waiting for us to come inside, and if we have the lounge door closed she cries to come in.

Finally, and the definitive proof that our cat needs psychiatric help, is that (as her litter tray is in one of our bathrooms) when we go to the loo, she comes in and pretends to wee.

Here's to Dusty!!

She's a typical cat! Gorgeous and entertaining. Mine all behave in the same way. Eating is always a hazard!

I think alot of these 'habits' can be explained by the fact that Dusty is indeed Female!!


Gorgeous cat though, sounds like she brings alot to the home!
