You will all know by now, if you've been reading my blog for the past few months, that a furry little addition to my family has brought so much joy and fun to our household. My (second) favourite boy. You guessed it...
Dexter! It is crazy to look back on these pictures of the day I brought him home. He is so teeny tiny and almost completely white.
Dexter is a blue bi colour ragdoll, a very laid back breed of pedigree cat. I got him from a lovely breeder down in Greenock.
He is such a little poser! And very, very naughty at the moment. But I can never stay angry at him for long, he ends up making me giggle by being silly or coming up for a cuddle (and going right under the covers) I might be a bit under the thumb. He is quite a character and has developed his own wee sparky personality. Here are some of his favourite things (which he asked me to share with you all, of course)
The 'official' girlfriend Hello Kitty (I think they could be twins mind you)
His best pals are baby giraffe and baby elephant. Dexter loves to pull them in for a cuddle. MY. HEART. MELTS.
Exploring. Can't open my wardrobe or a drawer, or bring any bags into the house without Dexter automatically jumping inside. Same goes for this castle I was assembling for work. Goodness knows what he is going to be like when I wrap my christmas shopping next week.
Dexter's ever expanding wardrobe. Okay I lie, he has a jumper and a bandana and nothing else. Please don't judge me, he loves it!
Drinking out of cups. Water bowl? Nah. Any cup of water you take into your room and place within his reach? Head straight in...
Posing for pictures like his Mammy :) What a great big beautiful boy he is.
Despite how fluffy Dexter is, he really doesn't shed at all, and keeps himself very clean although he does need groomed regularly and even the odd bath. Have only gave him one so far and he was very well behaved. I think him and the guinea pigs will all be due for one in time for christmas. Anyone who would like to volunteer to assist me with this task is welcomed with open arms. I normally end up more soaked than they do. Insert comedy montage music here.
The main point of this post is that I am entering Dexter into the Money Supermarket Pets Win Praises competition. It is open to cats and dogs, and a winner will be chosen from each. For the cats, the prizes include £250 Pets at Home Vouchers, a treat hamper tailored to your bed, and a luxury bed! They are looking for the cat and dog who do the most remarkable things, whether it be dressing up, doing tricks, or carrying funny props. I have shared Dexters day to day behavior above, but the main thing he does which I think should be prize winning is his love for playing fetch!
Just like a dog, Dexter will initiate a game of fetch with you by bringing up his toy Ikea mouse to play. He will run back and forward wherever you throw it, until he gets tired. Which is normally never as I always get tired of throwing first. Dexter is always rewarded with some tasty Dreamies treats, which he goes crazy for. He is such a good boy, and is absolutely great with the guinea pigs two. I can let the three of them out to wander my room while I clean out the cage, and he will sit there happily amongst them being very well behaved :) Apart from being a cheeky wee fella at the moment who always wants to play and chase you, he is really good as gold and I would love to give him an extra special reward. So please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me that he impresses the judges. The competition closes tomorrow, so you still have time to enter too if you have a cat or dog who has a talent you would like to share ♥
