I recently read the Cat Tag post on Georgie's blog, Bean's Beauty Blog here, which I really enjoyed and thought it would be fun to complete. My cat is called Tom and I have been his adopted mum for nearly three years. He is such a great companion. I love him to pieces. |
2. Regardless of your previous answer, what would your favourite breed be? As much as I love tabby cats, I need to say Manx cats.They are just adorable! I love the way they have a little stubby tail. It's just like awwhhhhhh so cute!
3. Any Cat themed clothes or accessories? I don't have many cat accessories really. I do have a delicate, cat necklace, with cute little diamantes all over its body. I also currently have a white top with the face of a kitten on the front. So cute!
4. What's your cat's name? My cats name is Tom. He is a little medium haired ginger cat. He's like a mini tiger, haha.
5. Favourite Toy? He doesn't really play with toys, but if you give him a catnip teddy or toy he goes mad over it, and he will chew it to pieces!
6.What's your kitty's favourite food? He will eat anything! It is really unbelievable how much he will eat. If you put him out a full day of food in front of him you are guaranteed that he will eat it within 5 minutes. He likes fish or beef etc but chicken seems to be his favourite. If we have a barbeque or a Chinese take-away we always save him a little piece which he really enjoys. He tried chocolate cake on his birthday but sugar is poisonous to cats so I was very careful to make it a teeny piece.
7. Lazy or Fierce Hunter? Tom is both. As much as he enjoys sleeping there is this one cat that he will fight with whenever he sees it. He enjoys sleeping on bags, paper and in cardboard boxes, which is a bit weird but he will sleep there for hours on end. There was a period of about a month where he must have brought home about 6 mice, but still had time to sleep 20 hours a day.
8. Favourite Activity? Eating. Whenever the door to the kitchen is open he will take the chance to go inside and try and tear open a pack of treats. There have been a couple of occasions when he has achieved his aim and I have gone in and he had eaten the whole pack of treats!
9. Does your cat have any strange habits? I don't know if this is a habit or it's normal but sometimes Tom will sit there and meow but no sound comes out! If this is normal please tell me or is it just my cat?!
A little myth about tabby cats - supposedly when Jesus was in the manger, Mary was concerned that he was getting cold and so asked the animals to huddle around him to keep him warm. The other animals were too big but the cat was warm and furry and kept Jesus warm all night long. To thank the cat Mary marked him with an M in his forehead fur which is still present today.
