Purr-fectly Innocent

Don't let this innocent face fool you. Six years ago Jay discovered Timone in Allie's bedroom. Allie was none-too-pleased to find out that a character from her favorite Disney movie had teeth marks puncturing his abdomen. Later that year I chaperoned a group of eighth graders to Orlando (the only place I could find an exact replica) and bought Allie a replacement Timone. Timone II was carefully hidden from Jay.

Needless to say, Jay was allowed to keep Timone, Sr. And you can see how they have gotten along the past six years. Jay and Timone have an on-again-off-again relationship. Sometimes you won't seen Timone for months. Other times you come home in the afternoon to find Timone in a different location every day, evidence that Jay has been dragging him around and attacking him. In case anyone wondered, you can tell that even a house cat who has never been outside a day in his life still has the instinct the rip out the eyeballs and heart. Amazing.


Timone has seen better days.

Jay looks adorable in the picture. Despite the write-up on Timone, my question is what Jay would do with a live rodent.

(My verification word is "funya". If that's not fun(ya), I'm not sure what is.)

my mom's cat (my old cat that i gave her sole custody of) has two identical stuffed dogs that she is obsessed with. she's very motherly to them and they are always found in the weirdest places around the house. always lined up perfectly in a very OCD kinda way. anyways, jay is awesome. i just love that cat. but you're right-Timone #1 has seen better days. :)

Yikes. Timone looks rough!

In regard to your previous post, I can't believe they have a cooking game. I love that!

If Jay could get out more, he could let off some of his steam in a more productive way than with poor Timone :) hehe

Isn't Steph the one that let Jay out to "feel the grass between his toes"?
