Extreme Sports!

Cats have been known to indulge in extreme sports and Austin is no exception. For him the activity that really gets his adrenalin into a rush is ……. "Extreme Wheelie Bin Watching"! Yep he can watch a wheelie bin for hours, days, weeks if necessary i.e. if there’s something of interest underneath. Of course the conditions have to be just right otherwise he could do himself a mischief. Take the other day. Starting at 09:00hrs ……..



It’s under the bin!








It is probably true to say that Austin is a whisker short of a full hump when it comes to some things! But he sure is a sore loser!!!

  5. Austin, my mom and I are so disappointed with you in that fruitless would-be endeavor. You did your part admirably. The mousie should not have played so unfairly. He should have waited a decent interval and then made a dash for it right into your waiting maw and claw.
    XOXOXOXOX

  6. We have to say this for you Austin, you are one very patient fellow. Our limit is about three hours. Of course if the mouse had played fair it would have been more sporting. &#$^% mice!

  8. Oh Austin, that is one very naughty mouse to go in that hole. Too bad the wheely was parked right in front of the hole but you were the esteemed hunter and stayed there well beyond your duty. We think you did a bang up job.

  14. Austin, Excellent form, Mate. That was a sneaky, cheeky little rodent with no respect for the rules of the game. Sorry you missed your lunch.

  15. At least it gave him something to do in his otherwise dreary life...

    Love the series of photos and his comments!

  28. Observing a bin for so many hours, that's hard work, it's like the police who has to wait for hours that the bankrobber comes out of the bank !
    Poor Austin !

  29. Persistence usually pays off. Maybe Austin and Odin should compare notes over a pint?

    ReplyDelete
  30. ROFL!! In his defense, how was he supposed to know about that escape route??? I mean, the bin WAS blocking it, MOL.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Good boy Austin! Your patience and concentration will pay off and you'll get that mousie tomorrow for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  32. That is some serious patience Austin. Next time I'm sure good things, like mice, will come to kitties who wait!!

  33. Austin, we suggest you block up that hole. If you need ideas for a filler, how about horking up your breakfast. We're looking into this idea. We think it has promise, as an idea that can be monetized out there on the free market. Do you have that word where you are? Monetized? We like that word. It is truly heartless. Therefore onomatopoetic. Yours, Bugs.
