The Wondrous Moonwalking Cat / Holiday Plans

The cat has learnt to moonwalk!

I swear it’s true. He puts both his front paws on a CD and then moves his hind legs to slide backward across the room in one smooth motion! Only thing is when B and I attempt to give him background music by singing ‘Beat it!’ he stops cold in his tracks and stares at us as if to say, ‘Silly humans!’

His other feats include peeing into the toilet pot (which he achieves perfectly without a drop on the seat) and opening doors (which he achieves by jumping on to and hanging on to the door handle till the latch gives way).

Very accomplished, this cat of mine!

I read recently that in the EU pets now require passports to travel. How cute is that! Imagine my baby’s passport – Mr. T____ Cat (yes, that’s his full name) with an expressionless passport photo alongside! Mwuah!

It is getting much too cold. Can’t bear the toilet seat in the mornings. (Note to self: Put cat to work, get him to warm seat.)

On top of which my stupid friends want to go to McLeod Gunj for Christmas. I keep telling them it will be freezing and their toes will turn black but they seem determined. Must think of some warmer alternatives and innovative ways to convince them.

J is carting his bike to Goa and then he and a friend are biking down to Kerala. Not fair! I threw a big fit when he told me but he refuses to take me cos he says women are a liability on a bike trip. Bah. But then he followed it up with how dangerous it could be and how he would never take anyone he cared about on one. Well…

The Englishman is having another terrace party, think I’ll go this time. It’s so cute how his invites always say bring your own mug/glass cos he’s against plastic!
