As you can see in the FAQ of the Wonky Cat shop, Wonky Cat was originally a stuffed toy I made for my friend's birthday, but I have my own real life wonky cat called Tabitha. She has half a tail (earning her the title 'Half-Manx Cat'), and an extremely superior attitude. That does not count the times when she will suddenly have a mad half hour and tear around the house, somehow navigating corners at 60 miles an hour. She has taken to drinking water more regularly now, but only in a bowl in my room, which means paws knocking at my bedroom door at midnight. She doesn't even look at me when she walks in, she just struts to the dish, laps at the water and then walks straight back out again without a backwards glance. As with most cats, she deals with embarrassment by acting like I'm the loser. As evidenced by the events of yesterday.
The moment of embarrassment - she walks slowly but definitely headfirst into my mirror.
This is Tabs standing at the door pretending that it didn't just happen.
Tabby's 'cat caught in headlights' look.
A rather arty picture of my cat.
Her next tactic is just to pretend I am not there.
But she totally knows I'm still behind her.
And here, she definitely knows I'm there. (Strangely, as I type this, I heard Tabby's paws on the door and she is now drinking her water
)
I love how cats use their paws - it's always cute.
And oddly, here she is entering...the bathroom
(Smug)
