Pablo


Pablo lives in West Hobart, Tasmania. He is about eight years old and really resents being referred to as an "older cat". As you can see, he is quite lively. He is an indoor/outdoor cat, but sticks close to home. He is Captain of the West Hobart Tigers, a team in the Australian Feline League. He loves Australian Rules Football and last year he ran a contest to see who could guess who would win the championship and by how many points. Daisy picked the winning team and Tripper got the closest to the number of points they won by. Pablo's favorite thing to eat is chicken and he'll take it in any form: raw, cooked, or made into cat food. Pablo's favorite game is Stringplay and his favorite type of string is a shoe lace. He highly recommends playing with shoe laces for chewability, whapability and length of play. Pablo is such a popular cat that he has his own fan club.

                                 Pablo loves to play with string.
                                 He often says it's his favorite thing.
                                       For a good shoe lace
                                       He will leave his place
                                  In the sun to have a good game of string.

I'll have to ask Pablo to explain Australian Rules Football to me. I used to watch it late at night and I don't think I quite figured it out. Playing with shoe strings? I get that.

I just updated myself on your blog, Pabo looks a littly like Pookie. Today it's a sad day, my neighbors cat Gin had to be put asleep she was 24 years old ! Imagine ! I knew her since she came in her forever home ! I have to go to my friend now and just stay a little while with her. There have been so many cats dying lately also here in Blogworld.

Strings are a very mancat thing to play with.

Oh wow! This is about the biggest honour a mancat can get on the blogosphere. Thanks, Karen Jo! This is an awesome limerick! Oh wow!

Pablo's got the right idea - he looks like he could teach that string a thing or two!

Well,speaking as a 15 year old cat, I understand why Pablo would be upset at being called an "older cat" !!!
Pablo is a cool cat :)
