Ask Huffle

My friend Khyra sent in a question for me to answer. Khyra asked: Have woo ever tried on any of your mum's shoes when she wasn't home?

For those of you who don't know, my mum has a bit of a shoe addiction and she currently owns 93 pairs of shoes. We're getting an intervention organised for next week.

Anyway, the answer to Khyra's question is... I'm not telling. But I will show you this photo and you can decide for yourself whether I have tried on mum's shoes or not.
Thanks for asking me a question Khyra! Oh, and Brownie asked me a question too: he wants to know if I will accept questions from hamsters. Of course! All questions are accepted here at Ask Huffle!

Cats with Blogs update

I'm very excited to report that Cats with Blogs has 31 members after just one month in existence! This is very good! But kitties, did you know that our sister site Dogs with Blogs has 1,000 members? Yes, that's ONE THOUSAND dog blogging members. Surely we can beat that.

Every kitty in the whole world needs to join Cats with Blogs!

Ask Huffle

Welcome to the very first edition of Ask Huffle. I had some very good questions over the weekend and I will be answering them all over the next few days. This question from my best friend Zim of the Army of Four was not the first question I was asked, but it relates to today's date so I thought I better answer this one first.

Zim asked me: Australia Day is coming up. What are your plans to celebrate? Is it traditional to eat ham?

Well Zim, today is Australia Day and I am very sad to report a distinct lack of ham in the house. Mum even went shopping yesterday and everything. I plan to celebrate the rest of the day by having my mid morning nap, my late morning nap, my after-lunch nap, my afternoon nap, my pre-bedtime nap and then going to bed. I might squeeze in a play session with my mouses as well, but I can't promise that one.

I have heard that the tradition for Australia Day is to have a barbecue and drink some beer. But we don't have a barbecue, and only dad drinks beer in my house so we probably won't do either of those. The city puts on a fireworks show but I don't care for those either. You could say Australia Day is a lot like any other day in my life!

Tagged!

The Army of Four tagged me in the picture memo game! Here are the rules:

Open a document or file folder,

click on the fifth folder
and then the fifth photo.
Post the photo and describe it.

Then tag 5 other bloggers.

Stormy said that my mum takes incredible photos. Well of course, she has me as a model! BUT the fifth folder and the fifth picture turned out to be this:
These are the sea lions that have taken up residence at Pier 39 in San Francisco. They arrived there after a small earthquake a few years ago, and have never left. The city lets them stay too. If you click on the picture you can see a bigger version.

So who to tag? Here's my list:

Tia, Sitka and Cornelia Marie
Sweet Praline
Star and Jack-a-Roo
Wilbur, Steve and Kat
The Painter Pack

Only because I'm a black cat, I'm not going to tell them, they're gonna have to read my blog to find out they've been tagged!

New Idea

I am going to start a new feature on my blog. It's called Ask Huffle. Any pup or kitty can ask me a question and I will answer it very carefully. I'm even willing to do some research to find out the answers to any questions you all have.

I'll feature a new question every few days, so start asking! You can leave a comment with your question, or you can email me.

You can ask any sort of question you like, except something that might make MrSippi blush.

An observation

Did you know that if a man comes and pulls out a piece of wood from somewhere inside the house, then goes to a shop and buys another piece of wood and then cuts that new piece of wood with a saw to be the same size and shape as the old piece of wood, that this cutting creates something called sawdust and you can roll in it and make pretty patterns! And, you can even decorate your furs with it!For some reason, your mum will not think this is a good thing. I don't know why.

Thinking on Thursday

I have been thinking about my tactics with the pupparazzi. Poking my tongue out at them is not working, as you can see by the plethora of tongue-poking-out photos that have been published on my blog.

Mr Mouse is letting the team down too. He was at school earlier this week but I don't know if anything sunk in or not. Time will tell.

I may have to come up with a new plan.

Wordless Wednesday

Contemplating...

I wonder if this would make a good toy?Things are getting desperate if I have to find dead bits of tree in the backyard to play with.

Monday morning means going to school

Well, for Mr Mouse anyway. He has been very naughty lately and keeps running away when the pupparazzi follow me. So he is at school today, learning his lesson.
I hope it sinks in.

Easy like Sunday morning

Since it's Sunday already, I am just hanging out and having a few naps. It's the best way to spend a Sunday, really. You don't want to over-exert yourself.

The results are in!

Thankyou to everyone who voted in my poll this week. I asked you if you thought I should post every day in 2009.

Well, 76% of you said yes, the rest said no. But those of you who said no, left comments indicating that it wasn't that you didn't want me to post every day, but that I shouldn't feel any pressure to post every day. Thank you all for being so thoughtful!

The upshot is, I will attempt to post every day (I do enjoy it) but sometimes there are days when even I don't have anything to say, and who knows if mum and dad will leave me alone for a whole month again this year! I might not post on those days.

All this thinking is making me tired. I'm going to have a nap now.

For Stormy

Just so Stormy doesn't think that I have forgotten all my SZK School of Siberian Studies lessons...

What's that behind you mum?

MrMouse woes

These are some of my mouses. I think both of them came from Charlie and Opy's mum and dad! I don't know what has gotten into MrMouse lately - every time the pupparazzi come around he is nowhere to be seen! He is not being a very good bodyguard and I am a bit worried. Do you think he is being paid by the pupparazzi?
