Kritters That Twitter

MADI: Hi Honey!!  Thanks so much for agreeing to do an interview wiff me.  I am so excited abouts this one cuz I know you from Twitter and all…. purrrrrr.  Before we get started, would you like a bowl of water or a toy to nom on?

HONEY: Hello, Madi, it’s a pleasure to be here.  Thank you for having me.  I would love a bowl of water while we talk.

MADI: So firstly Honey, tell me a bits about yourself…. Where do you live?  How long have you lived dere…. How old are you?

HONEY: I live in Ames, Iowa, and I’ve lived here for a little over three years. I turned eight in the summer.  Previously, Mummy and I lived in Scotland.  When Mummy decided to move back to the U.S. I flew on an airplane.  I had my own big carrier, and they put me in the luggage hold.  It was pretty darned noisy, and I was scared because Mummy wasn’t there, but I made it okay.  I hope I never have to fly again!

MADI: Scotland!!! Wow , that was very brave of you to fly on a big bird.  Your carrier sounds very comfortable.  Honey, tell me about your home, your Mama……  is she your first home?  Is she your forever home?   How did she find you?

HONEY: Mummy is not my first home, but we don’t discuss “the time before.” However, she is definitely my forever home because I am lost without her.  Mummy found me at the shelter in Scotland.  I had been there about a week.  I saw her looking at all of the other kitties and crying because she couldn’t pick which one to take home. I really wanted to leave and thought she looked quite nice so I kept hitting my head against the glass so she would notice me.  It worked! She picked me!

MADI: What does your Mama like to do when she is not giving you scratchies and tending to your every need?  Or do you keep her pretty busy with the priorities in life?

HONEY: Mummy stays pretty busy with her job, her studies and trying to control all of the fur I shed.  I make sure I get it in every room equally.  I also try to get her to carry me around the apartment a lot.  I love riding on her shoulder.  Now that it’s cold, I like to try to get into the dryer in the morning before she warms her clothes up.  (I know I should just wait until after, but I like to race Mummy in the morning.) Some mornings we argue, but I always win in the end because I get to spend the day sleeping in the dryer on my blanket.  Mummy also likes to do craft projects like sewing.  I like to sit on her lap while she’s using the machine.

MADI: My sister Abi and I see you on Twitter regularly.  What do you like most about Twitter and how often do you like to tweet?

HONEY: Oh, I leave the tweeting to Mummy.  She’s tweeting most every day and sometimes I like to pose for photos for her to post at Twitpic.  I think Twitter has been good for Mummy since she hates dealing with people face-to-face.  This way she can chat and not have to be in social situations.  In addition to Twitter, I frequently visit some cat-oriented sites like I Can Haz Cheeseburger? and catsinsinks.com.  I really hope to be featured at one of those sites someday, but for now, I will have to settle for being one of the elite cats at lookatthiscat.com.  I am numbers 305 and 306.

MADI: What are some things about Twitter that furry-ustrate you?  Anything dat you just wish you could change?

HONEY: I guess it’s not Twitter itself that frustrates me, but the size of the keyboards the humans use. Typing on one of those things is really hard.  They also don’t make any drool-proof ones, and Mummy gets mad at me sometimes when I drool on her laptop.

MADI: Well Honey, I have taken up a great deal of your time and I just want to say thank you so very very much for interviewing wiff me.   We are so glad to know you from Twitter and now to know even more about you!!!

HONEY: Thank you, Madi.  I am gonna go hang out in my Kritter Kondo now!! XOXOXOXO
