This cat should come with a health warning! He's very well behaved in most ways, except one. Well, possibly 2 but we'll leave that for now.
In addition to being very handsome, he has an extraordinarily long tail. For his first day here it was as if the had come with his own built-in toy, but the provision of a squeaky catnip mouse, and a nice rattly ball made him realise that chasing one's own tail was perhaps a little over-rated, as well as looking rather silly.
Digby is somewhat lacking in the tail department, I mean he has one of course, but let's just say that it is of modest proportions. (I was worried about possible "tail envy" but I don't think they've got round to comparing)
Now Sprout has a rather odd habit, when he is happy he he is given to very extravagant swishing of his tail. (I'm surprised that he doesn't swish his whole self over sometimes 
He is a very happy cat, therefore he swishes a lot 
Apart from nearly having my eye out during a fit of ecstasy brought on by having his neck scratched while sitting on the desk "helping" me with my emails, he has managed to send the skype microphone down into the murky depths behind the desk (it sort of goes across the corner, leaving a bit of floor that it is impossible to access with the hoover 
) knocked the cordless phone off it's stand 3 times remove nearly every pen and pencil from the desk top, and render a piece of toast and marmalade inedible. Tip: A damp flannel is the best way to remove marmalade from a cat's tail, but it has to be done surreptitiously and at speed.
I think I'll ban him from here once it's glass of wine o'clock!
I know it's in their nature, but i still wish they wouldn't, especially the birds.Good Morning 1st May 2026 "May Day"
