Our July Pet of the Month for Scallywags is Phoebe!
Every month Scallywags, I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing a special pet from the Cherry Lane family and introducing them to our lovely customers. This month I got to meet a very special lady, the very beautiful Phoebe, an eight-year-old short hair cat.
Good afternoon, Phoebe.
Me? Yes, hello.
My apologies for disturbing you, but I am here to have a little chat and ask some questions so our audience can get to know you better. Would that be okay?
Why yes, of course, one would be happy to have a chinwag.
Excellent! May I start by asking if you have any nicknames you'd prefer I called you?
What on earth is a nickname?! Phoebe will do quite nicely, thank you.
As you wish, Phoebe it is! That's a lovely scratch post, would you say that is your favourite toy?
No, no, no. My most beloved toy is my little mouse which Daddy fills with catnip for me. I do love the odd scrummy little treat!
You and me both! What's your favourite treat?
Dreamies! I don't even mind which flavour, but they are positively scrumptious!
Sounds dreamy! Get it?
Stop that.
Sorry. Now, if you could describe your perfect day to me, what would it involve?
Sleeping! Siestas, lounging, dozing, napping... perhaps a little fine dining... and then some more sleeping.
Lovely! Would it not involve some dressing up?
Excuse me?
I've heard you like dressing up? Look at this lovely festive number...
WHAT?! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!
Your Daddy showed me, I think you look adorable!
NOOO! This is so embarrassing.
Well, I think it looks brilliant. But we'll move on. Do you have any favourite games you like to play?
Yes, I like fighting with my Daddy, especially after he embarrasses me!
Oh no! Poor Daddy, would you say he is your best friend?
I don't have any best friends, but I am happy to temporarily convince humans I like them so they give me my food.
I bet your humans love you very much though.
Of course, they do!
Are there ever times when they get cross at you and seem to like you a little less?
They definitely don't like it when I am sick on the carpet. Sorry Mummy and Daddy.
Aww, I am sure they forgive you eventually.
I hope so.
Right, well it has been absolutely delightful chatting with you today, Phoebe. Before I go, I need to ask you one last important question if I may?
You may!
Are you a good girl?
I am a young lady.
