Ernie the conqueror

July 15, 2009 by cynthia 

So I’m hearing all kinds of growly noises downstairs, go down to investigate and find Ernie’s brand new catnip mouse on the floor. It was a kind gift from my friend Kat, who stopped in to meet Ernie and help him feel at home during his stay here. “He IS big,” she’d said.

Big enough, apparently, to disembowel Catnip the Mouse. He was lying sadly in a pile of catnip, looking more than a little worse for wear.

And there was Ernie, as close to grinning as I’ve ever seen a cat come.

As usual, not holding still long enough to be photographed...

The next catnip mouse had better be steel-plated.

    i have one that has a velcro pocket underneath so you can refresh the herb when it wears/falls out. oddly enough, one of my cats’ favorite toys is a bright red stick-on package wrapping bow.

    have you weight ernie yet? my largest one is 24lbs, but it’s all muscle. he’s the tuxedo on the right in http://s587.photobucket.com/albums/ss312/chaniarts/?action=view&current=IMG_4698.jpg

    When I saw your title on this post I couldn’t wait to read it. Ernie’s antics are hilarious to read about. I’m sure there will be more for you to share during his stay with you. :)

Otherwise I'll add a small, lonely little monster.
