Austin is a lucky boy and no mistake. He has won another draw and received some more lovely goodies; this time from a land far far away! Connie and the Crew from “tails from the foster kittens” sent a parcel which Austin and I fell upon (well Austin did, I just got out the trusty box brownie) and here is the picture story - with an academy award reject winning video at the end (turn the sound up!).
A lovely framed pencil drawing for the human :)
So there you have it. I am amazed the package made it unmolested through customs! It was a veritable cornucopia of catnip and as I have mentioned before, Austin is a catnip junkie! To prove it here is the promised video, complete with added soundtrack! My first attempt and am quite chuffed! You can view on YouTube or below. It’s not very long!
Glogirly, of the famous Glogirly and Katie Design website, very kindly offered to design an avatar as one of the items in Cathy Keisha’s auction for Baby Patches. AND CATachresis won!! After some consultation between Austin and Glogirly, here is the result :)
Thank you Glogirly - with just a little help from Katie!
Those who have travelled with Austin and me down the years will know that the grumpy little feline has pretensions to academic eptitude. He has been assistant to both Schrodinger and Fibonacci. He's advised Sir Isaac Newton. He has even mediated at a mythical meeting between Occam and Gordias!
Now, finally, he has reached what I believe to be the pinnacle of his career. He has proved that Albert Einstein was probably on to something with this E = mc2 malarkey. However, all this stuff about energy, mass and speed of light squared is a load of dogwash! As you can see in the excellent representation above, Prof Austin shows that relatively speaking, strange things do happen when you move very fast. In fact the faster you go the slower time runs (Chariots of Fire anyone?)
However, the other day Prof Austin was able to test HIS hypothesis when he was caught in the canine upsurge of the eleven spitting dogs (that live next door but one, two and three). He, during this unexpected event, managed to mass his particles to prove conclusively that:
F^..^2 + MC⦉⦁⧭⦁⦊ = ⚔⚐☺ or Austin squaring up to many massive dogs = the speed of light
And, because of the whole space time continuum thingy he was back on my bed asleep before he’d even woken up. Forget the large hadron collider, we’ve got the small cat on the soft eider. Job done!
I don’t usually do wordless wednesdays - I like to be free to do Austin’s own thing - but we thought this was a great shot. Anyway as I’m behind with the proper post, I thought this might be a good interim offering :)
BTW I looked and looked in the Cat-O-Lympics itinerary for a category for synchronised sitting? Could I find it? Could I …...!
It’s not often Austin receives post addressed to him; in fact never before to my certain knowledge. But yesterday the postman delivered a parcel with his name on it! It was from Mollie and Alfie. He’d won a prize in their draw :)
There was even a note with their picture for him!
Austin!!!
In fact the salmon treats proved such a winner, his greed joy has been videoed for posterity!!! You can watch below or view on YouTube
Did I actually see him kiss Mollie and Alfie’s picture?
Altogether Austin is a very happy and contented kitty :)
