Da Bird!

It was a joyous day when Da Bird arrived. We’d heard so much about it, so I sent off to Amazon and three days and £9.99 later, this cardboard tube arrived in the post.


















Austin - Retired injured
Da Bird - Banished
Blue Arrows - Victorious 

Match to be rescheduled at a later date after Austin's eyebrow surgery.

Oh Austin - both you and Da Bird in "time out." That has to be a first! Don't give up buddy, we look forward to hearing much more about you and Da Bird!!

OMC! Austin, Odin says go after the real thing. You can't believe everything you see on TV.

Katnip Lounge said...

Will Austin have a date with Tillie Tweezers next? Will the eyebrow survive? Stay tuned...

Paula said...

The time will come where
the blue arrows are banished
da bird retires injured and
Austin the victorious.

Good that eyebrows heal without a cast!

The Island Cats said...

Haha! Austin, you were just a little too exuberant with Da Bird! You break its eyebrow next time!!

Cat-from-Sydney said...

I can imagine Austin going on national TV and ranting, "my eyebrow, my eyebrow"....ROTFLOL purrrr...meow!

Katie and Glogirly said...

Austin, you had best attend to that eyebrow STAT! We can't have a Real Housecat with a broken brow!!!
; ) katie

Linda said...

OK, this gave me a good chuckle! I'm so sorry, Austin, about your eyebrow. I guess that's one of the downsides of having to deal with arrows that appear and then suddenly disappear!

The Joke Puppy said...

That was but one battle in a war that Austin will ultimately prevail.

Mariodacat said...

ha ha - you are sooooo funny.

Repositório said...

Hahahahahah! Sorry, I´m laughing so much!!!!!

Oskar said...

BOL! Don't let that thing beat you Austin!

You'll be ready for a re-match as soon as your eyebrow cast comes off.

Nubbin wiggles,
Oskar

You cats are so dramatical. Looks like a cool toy though.

Katie Isabella said...

Oh Austin...mommy had one of the best laughs I have seen her with today! All at your expense and that comment from Paula saying that about a cast! (plaster I guess there in Wales) Mommy really roared!

Nadbugs said...

Well -- Da bird. So glad to hear Austin gave it, and the blue arrows, a run for their money, even if he ended up benched with an injury. Neither Bugs nor Fang is the least bit moved by Da bird -- so disappointing, after all the puff I'd heard about it. Now if you tie a bootlace to the wand, Fang becomes positively territorial fanatical about it. But the feathers? Pffft. So -- enjoy! Eyebrow cast comes off soon!

Leave the broken thing dangling there. It's great for sympathy and treats!!

Melody said...

Oh my goodness!! I did my post today on Da Bird. We got it over the weekend and my cats just love it. Glad to see Austin likes it too.

ABBY said...

Austin
We bet there will be Round 2 and you will be the victor.

That's a nice gift !! Unfortunately Arthur and Pookie prefer real birdies !

Clooney said...

Yikes, that must have been a "wild" Da Bird you gots in the mail...mine has never gone for the 'brows! But I can hook you up with a good plastic surgeon I know...

Your Buddy Clooney

Katie and Glogirly said...

Oh Birdman!!!
You better check out the sneak peek on my blog today!!! hint, hint...

Marg said...

Oh Austin, we cannot believe you let that DaBird break your eyebrow. You need to get back in the rink and give that Da Bird a good whack.
On another note, we are very sad because you haven't come to visit us. Blogger took us off many readers so no one can fine us.

House of Carnivores said...

OH dear... I've always wondered what having Da Bird would be like. Maybe this answers that question.

haopee said...

Oh, simply hilarious. By the way, you were correct. One of the reasons why Buchi love's his bath, is because of the heat and he has thick fur.

Now, back to the bird... Austin certainly has a very short attention span, doesn't he?

Huggies and Cheese,

Haopee

I'd be spooked out by those arrows following me around too, Austin!

You know how it is to be a big Hollywood star... they all have brow lifts. ;)

Very cute post!

animal lover, quilt lover said...

This just the cutest post!!! Thanks Austin !!!!!!
Love it!!!

Max the Quilt Cat said...

I do love all the picture of you with da bird... it's the toy to beat all toys.... I agree.

Thanks so much for your purrs for Knuckles this week. We appreciate you keeping him in your thought.

pawhugs, Max and HH.
