Hey Austin!!!
Wot?
I am not sure what's going on, but Austin has become very lovey dovey of late! He has to sit on me even when I am not sitting. It can lead to awkward moments - cue my favourite cartoon…..
Don't misunderstand me, he still doesn't allow for cuddling or holding, but the snuggling thing is getting out of control! He also is getting very sneaky about making me heave myself out of my comfy chair to open the door, only to nip round behind me and pinch the pre-warmed comfy chair for his own use!
This all seems to coincide with the arrival of his prize in the draw that Rykers Boyz 'n Allie held not so long ago. It was in conjunction with VetVits UK. This is what he received:
I am not sure what having a glossy coat and flexible joints has to do with Austin becoming more affectionate? Whatever! Oh but he loves the vits. I wish the worm pill went down so easy!! Anyway, we thank you Maxwell, Faraday 'n Allie :)
Breaking news! Austin is featured as this week's HOT MANCAT OF THE BLOGOSPHERE!!! You can see his interview over at Troublin' Times. Please click here. He is especially excited, as it was Sassy from Troublin' Times who had the idea and Austin has a big soft ♥ spot for her even if her sisfur Callie calls her old Lard Butt! Lard is very soft you know! :)
PS there is a growing consensus that young Austin is getting a bit big for his gorgeous white boots!!

Austin is a very handsome moggie x
Look forward to future posts xxx
Heh,Heh,Heh... Austin, are you sucking up because Christmas is coming and you want to be on the "nice kitty" list ????
ReplyDeleteHarry, Dexter and Tipp
My biped, the cynic, says out cats get more affectionate as the weather cools down. The cartoon made her laugh - she used to have a Siamese cat and her was very insistent when he wanted attention!
ReplyDeleteI'm naming today Typo Day!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Austin!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we get a locked cat flap when it gets dark so we don't get the opportunity to give Mum as much exercise as we'd like!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Austin, you are doing it right! To the T! Good on you. I will head over there and see your article, you hot mancat you.
ReplyDelete"He also is getting very sneaky about making me heave myself out of my comfy chair to open the door, only to nip round behind me and pinch the pre-warmed comfy chair for his own use!
ReplyDeleteMOL!!! One smart kitty.
We saw his mancat interview. Great photos, too. We gave him his due respect ("props").
Hey Austin, Jet here.
ReplyDeleteDude, Hot Mancat... most impressive... does this mean you'll have a calendar out for 2013?
Proud of your snuggling progress, although don't make the Staff uncomfortable, as they regulate the treats!
Now that's not the typical Austin we know, but we'd bet it's pretty special! Rawr on the Hot Mancat interview! Purrs...

ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Peee-ess Glad threemoggies got over, wasn't sure if I gave them the right email address :) xxx
I loved Austin's interview as a Hot Mancat! Maybe the colder weather is making him more affectionate? It does have that effect around here. BTW, I have been known to try to jump on my human's lap when she is on her yoga mat doing Chair Pose - which is funny because I don't jump on her lap otherwise!

Austin, you sly devil you. I know what you're up to....Christmas is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteAustin, good job keeping your human guessing! Just when she gets used to all this lovey-dovey stuff, switch back to being aloof and stand-offish! Haha!!
ReplyDeleteWe saw your interview over at Callie and Sassy's. Dood, all the lady cats are gonna love you...and there aren't gonna be any for us!!
Wally & Ernie
Lovey-Dovey???
ReplyDeleteAustin???
But Austin, what about the indifference?
What about the whatever-attitude?
WOT?!?
; )
Nice work on commandeering the comfy chair though. I may have to try that technique.
LOVE the word of the day! MOL!

Austin

We do love a mancat mama's boy and congrats on your award. We must check it out!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Austin...you hot mancat you!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do look hot and cutesy and, ahem, coincidentally very handsome in those pics. Would you allow me to cuddle you?
ReplyDeleteHey Pal! You're makin' me look bad, ya know? I mean, Spitty don't DO laps and then the Human looks at these pictures, and then she looks at me, and then she sighs loudly.
ReplyDeleteWell! It's YOUR week with Sassy and Callie, eh? Hmmm, I guess they must be savin' the Best for Last, heh heh.
Could it be the weather? Is it getting colder when they snuggle more? Enjoy it while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteBOL that's a funny cartoon! Don't lose your coolness, buddy
ReplyDeleteCotton
You sneaky cat, claiming your mom's chair! Maybe you'll even want to cuddle soon?

ReplyDeleteThis is quite the development Austin... what's next? Katie being sweet? Zoey being modest?
