SCRUFF

[FUJI]

Yes!

 

I know that you have all met him previously, but he is such a Photogenic Moggie I hope you wil forgive my occassional posts of our.....BIG OLLIE!

 

As you can see from the second shot, he certainly lives up to his name, he is a huge moggie, made to look even bigger by the scruffiest coat you have ever seen, he does tolerate a certain amount of grooming but not too much:

 

He patrols a large area of grazing and a small wood in his territory, it is there that he spends most othe time, whatever the weather, he only comes into the house for extras, treats and a crash-pad if the weather has beaten him.

 

He does come home wailing if he has been lucky enough to catch a mouse around the dozens of garden sheds in the back lane, he tucks into them with gusto (should be GUTSO!), he leaves the tiny gall bladders neatly to one side.

 

He is a naturally scruffy, mucky cat, his face and neck are Persil White, but his legs and stomach are a grey disgrace, he comes in from a day in the fields covered in twigs, straw, sticky buds and other kinds of detrious......We should have called him STIG!

 

He takes great delight, in sprawling full length across the back lane, just daring drivers to run him over, I have even seen then get out of a car to shout at him or even pick him up to place to one side.

 

He is an extremely gently cat, that loves human company, kids especially, he tolerates dogs too if they dont chase him.....he is a true Gentle Giant when in the vets, he just purrs and lets them do what they will.

That comes from his six months convalescence after a car crushed a hind leg when he was very young:

He's adorable! Lovely shots of him too.

 

Persian/tabby parentage, do you think?

He is certainly a character!

First three verses from 'He's a Cat' by a little known Lancashire poet............

 

 

 

 

There’s a right scruffy moggie that lives in our street

He’s blacker than jet, wi’ white socks on three feet

He pays me a visit each night an’ each morn

An’ he drops a great dollop, right there on mi lawn

 

He’s a cat. Fancy that!

Never quite happy just sat on some mat

 

Most cats are content fast-asleep on yer lap

An’ I’m OK wi’ that, I’m a reasonable chap

But this vicious bugger don’t curl up an’ purr

His mission in life’s to make me effin’ swear

 

He’s a cat. Fancy that!

I hate to use words any stronger than drat

 

One evenin’ I hid round the back in the rough

Intendin’ to squirt him one right up his chuff

But I’d supped a few cans an’ I started to doze

An’ I woke wi’ a shedload right under mi nose

 

He’s a cat. Fancy that!

Off like a bullet as soon as he’s shat

"So I'm only a 'thought cat', am I, Mr Schrödinger? Well I am still able to escape through invisible holes in the space-time continuum. I go into boxes of MY choosing, thank you very much!"

The kind of cat personality that loads of people would want to cuddle
