Zippers and Australian Squirrels


Here is the recent batch of zipper blocks...but wait...I think something is wrong with one of them.


Yes, something is wrong indeed. This appears to be an Australian Squirrel. Luckily, it's on the small side...it's about 7 inches wide. And yes, that means that for some of it I used .75 inch strips. Those microspools have disrupted my sense of scale.


And speaking of scales...the scales of justice have convicted Buddy of his crimes. As part of his sentence, he received a new banana catnip toy, a new mouse toy, and an extended session of laser mouse. He also received two spa treatments, although he would have gotten those anyway. He was hoping for a stiffer sentence, including exclusive rights to the warden's lap and Molly's bed, but Molly objected.

As you can tell, feline justice is a bit different...but if you know Jackson Galaxy or any of the other cat whisperer types, they all assure us that if a cat is acting out it is because they aren't getting enough play, attention or stimulation.


And I'm sure that there are no cats that have learned to work the system.

Handsome picture of Buddy! After reading your post to me, Alfie says he’s going to act out to get the same sort of sentence. I love your zipper blocks. I cut one out this afternoon from that same yellow fabric (that you sent me). And your “Australian Squirrel” is cute! My favorite online game (Hayday) just had a new update today and it was ... squirrels! And peanut bushes for them to root around in. The name of my farm is Squirrel Hollow, so I’m chuffed.

Very cute Australian squirrel! Although we do have other animals that look more like an actual squirrel because they have fluffy tails. Look up "brush-tailed phascogale".

Love that new squirrel!
And I'm sure that Molly is just the picture of decorum and would never ever ever work the system...

Right, Molly is a sweetheart and will get all those perks just by being herself!
