My friends Sam, Zorro and Bello asked me: Huffle, are you city cat or from the suburbs? and if suburbs, are you a north, south, east or west cat? We live in the south east. Teddy, who is the bestest sister in the world and have you got her sardinie?
Well, I am from the suburbs, the northern suburbs of Melbourne, but we are very close to the city so I like to think of myself as a sophisticated city cat.
Teddy says he does not know anything about bestest sisters and pleads plausible deniability regarding the location of Sardinie.
Sardinie is still missing. Just saying.

Ask Huffle Thursday
I don't have any more questions left to answer on Ask Huffle Thursday! Does anyone have anything else they want to know about me? I suppose you can ask the Goon some questions too if you want.
I have a question for all of you: has anyone seen my Sardinie? He is missing again.

Mr Puddy has another question for me: tee..heh..I'm nosy you know ? What brand of your dried food ?
Well, I eat Hills Prescription Diet t/d food. The vet said I should eat that because otherwise I get bits of food stuck in my teeth and my breath gets all stinky. When I eat this, it helps clean my teeth and my breath smells all minty fresh.

Simba asked me this question: where does your surname (Mawson) and Teddy's (Westlife) come from?
Well, my name is Huffle Mawson after Hufflepuff from Harry Potter, and Mawson the Antarctic explorer, because I am an explorer cat.
Teddy Westlife is named after Teddy Westside from How I Met Your Mother. Mum got the name slightly wrong but everyone thinks Westlife is better anyway, because they were a boy band and Teddy is enough trouble for five boys.

Greencheerios asked me this question: Huffle how come your toe nails are always so long in pictures? Are you not very nice when mum and dad try to trim them?
Um, no, I do not like my nails being trimmed. I don't like ANYONE to touch my back paws at all, and I'll only tolerate someone touching my front paws for a minute or two. Mum and dad have never bothered to trim my nails because I am a good girl and I don't scratch anything except my scratching post. Also, they said I could keep my nails when Teddy started jumping on me, so I can defend myself if I have to.

Sage and Fizz, who blog under the name Fage asked me this: We want to know if anything embarrassing has ever happened to you? Maybe a poo poo mishap, a scaredy cat mishap?
Well kitties, there was that time I landed in the paint stripper and had to have a bath, or the time I got stuck to the front door mat and had to have dad rescue me, but that's about it. I do occasionally like to poo in my carrier in protest when I have to go the v-e-t, and once I even pooed on the v-e-t's table, but that's not embarrassing for me.
Mum and dad call me the good cat for a good reason - I don't get into trouble and I am very well behaved.

Lizzie and her three kitties (who don't have a blog - please remind Lizzie that ALL kitties should have their own blog if they want) asked me this question. Can you tell us where you came from? Do you know your parents?
The short answer is no, I don't know where I came from and I don't remember my parents. I wound up at the Cat Protection Society when I was around five years old, and had been there for three months when mum and dad arrived to adopt me.
Mum and dad think I had a very bad start to life because I was terrified of everything when I first came home, and when a man wearing motorcycle boots came to the house I freaked out. I don't let anyone touch my belleh, even after nearly six years of being here, and they think I was starved before because I ate so much when I arrived that I made myself sick. My furs were all dry, and I wouldn't let anyone pick me up. Dad thinks maybe someone used to kick me in the belly before.
Now I have a wonderful family (except for Teddy the Goon) who let me do whatever I want to do and I am very happy!

I just remembered that there were some questions that I haven't answered yet! This one comes from the Katnip Lounge cats, and they wanted to know: Do you have any poisonous spiders or insects? We know you have a lot of nasty snakes there.
Well kitties, yes we do. Australia not only has nine of the ten most poisonous snakes in the world, but we have lots of other killer wildlife too. Dangerous spiders include the Red Back Spider and the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. Mum is not going to show you pictures of them because she is terrified and will scream even if she just sees a photo.
Don't forget we also have Great White Sharks and man-eating crocodiles.
You have to be tough to live in Australia.

Holly wanted to know: when is your birthday and what to you like to do to celebrate?
My birthday is a bit of a mystery, since mum and dad adopted me from the Cat Protection Society and they didn't know when my real birthday was. So mum and dad decided it would be on the day they adopted me, which is December 28. That is also my gotcha day, obviously, and it is my grandparent's wedding anniversary! It's a big day in our house.
I don't do that much to celebrate but I always get a snack of ham or prawns which is pretty good I think. Maybe this year, as a present to me, mum and dad could send Teddy away for the day. Does anyone want him?

The Katnip LoungeKats asked me: Do you sleep with your Beans? How about The Goon?
Well, I used to, but not so much any more. Basically since Teddy arrived, I find it safe to stay in my toasty bed where he doesn't jump on me. Before that, I used to sleep on the bed between mum and dad, and in winter I would sleep between them under the doona.
Teddy usually sleeps in his little bed which is in mum and dad's room, but before he goes to sleep he looks for toes to bite, and sometimes he sleeps right on the edge of the bed where he is close to toes. He is a goon.

Mr Puddy asked me another question: Anything you love about Teddy?
NO! There is nothing good about Teddy. He is a bad kitten and a Naughty Cat.
Actually there is one good thing about Teddy. He does not understand the Red Dot game so he just sits there confused when I play. So that's good.

Prancer Pie asked me this question: As the cat with the most seniority, Miss Huffle, what is your most important job in the household?
That is a very good question. I have several jobs in the house. One of them is to make sure dad realises it's dinner time when he comes home from work, no matter what time it is. So I greet him at the door every day and remind him.
It is also my job to quality test all the ham that gets brought into the house. Same with the prawns. Here's a photo of me doing quality control on prawns.
And most importantly, it is my job to make sure all the places a cat could sleep are appropriate for a cat to sleep in. Mostly this involves me sleeping in my toasty bed, or on mum and dad's bed, or on the spare bed, or anywhere else that takes my fancy.

My first ever kitty friend Parker asked: Oh Huffle, how did you become so gorgeous?
Thank you Parker, you are very sweet. I put it down to good genes and a generous serving of ham.

Zimmie and Dave asked: When are you going to start treating Huffle better?!!? And Dave would like to know if you have a favorite color.
Teddy says NEVER! I am the Bad Kitten Boy and I will never change.
Everyone here is shaking their heads at him.
As I answered in an earlier post, my favourite colour is purple. So is Davy's, I think!

Madi asked me: How did you get the name Huffle Mawson? We are sure there must be a good story to go with your name.
I have explained my name before but I will happily do it again for newer readers. When I first got here, five and a half years ago, mum and dad called me Stella. But after a few days, they noticed that I would huff at things as I was wandering around. So they started calling me Hufflepuff (like in Harry Potter). Then, because I like to explore new places, they added Mawson after the famous Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson. So my new full name was Huffle Mawson and I always answer to Huffle. I don't answer to Stella.

Jasmine and a few others wanted to know: do you and Teddy every snuggle up together or give each other a bath? Or do we ever hang out together?
The answer is a very short NO. We do not get along because Teddy is a bully and always trying to jump on me and bite me. A few people suggested that we should get Teddy fixed but he already has been, the very day he was old enough. It didn't make one bit of difference to his behaviour. If anything, he is worse, probably because he is lighter on his feet now.

Fleabag
Mr Puddy asked me: Did you use to get fleas on your fur ? After I did turn to be Mr. Flea Bag, Mom wonder how the black cat like you can see the fleas on your fur, My mom saw the fleas on my white fur ( Tummy ), But she can't see it on my black fur, The flea is dark ! or may be good girl like you never get flea : )
Well Mr Puddy, I have never had fleas since I got here. I get some sort of shot every year at the vet which stops the fleas from coming near me. Or something. Teddy had fleas when he arrived, and he had to have a BATH! Then he got de-flead at the vet and hasn't had any since. Mum and dad keep a close eye on both of us to make sure we don't get fleas.

Friday stuff
Fin wanted to know: What's Teddy's favorite toy?
About 20 seconds after he moved in here, Teddy saw Timmy (a former candidate for the position of my bodyguard) stuck to the heater and grabbed him. He carries Timmy around everywhere he goes, and runs up and down the stairs with him in his mouth.
He also loves CatDog, which is a stuffed toy that dad has had for years. He used to live on the half-wall in mum and dad's bedroom until Teddy got here. The second day he was here, he jumped up and grabbed CatDog (no-one is really sure if it's meant to be a cat or a dog, so it's called CatDog) and carries him around as much as he does Timmy.
Finally, the grey mousie that used to hang on a string near the stairs that Addie and Lucie sent to me YEARS ago is no longer attached to its string because Teddy runs around madly with it.
Notice that CatDog has nearly been decapitated. I am very sorry to report that since this photo was taken, CatDog has lost his head.

Caren and Cody asked me: I have a question. Four years ago blogging wasn't even popular yet. What made you start blogging?
Well, it's all because of Queen Meeshka and my bestest friend Zimmie that I started blogging. Mum used to subscribe to the Daily Puppy newspaper, and one day the featured dog was Meeshka, and there was a link to her blog in the story. We read her blog and thought she was pretty awesome, and from there we found the Army of Four and loved them too. I started blogging to get to know them better.
For a while I was too scared to leave any comments, and I didn't have any comments on my blog either, but then I got brave and Turbo was the first ever dog to comment here! Since then I have met SO many new friends and mum and dad have even met some of my blog friends' people too!
This is just about the first photo of me that ever appeared on my blog.

Wordy Wednesday
Stella said: I always feel bad when you talk mean about Teddy. Will this ever change?
Sadly, Stella, this will never change, not as long as Teddy is a Bad Kitten. He is very mean to me and always jumps on me. Once he bit me on the back and another time he bit my ear. Mum and dad try very hard to distract him and tire him out but that doesn't always work. He also tries to steal my food, and when I have to use the litterbox he lies in wait to attack me when I am finished. Mum and dad both say they have never known such a naughty kitten.
Mum and dad are going away for a few days in two weeks and Teddy will be going to stay with Uncle Andrew, whose cat is Cosi. Remember when he came and stayed here a while back? Everyone is hoping that Cosi will teach Teddy to behave because he is a Big Cat. I will be staying home and my grandma and grandpa will be coming to look after me.
