The WHISKAS® Kitten Kollege Dropouts Campaign!
Pawesome Greetings Supurr Pals
Welcome to a surprise post
Today I've been asked to take a little stroll down memory-lane by the wunderpurr peeps at:
So obviously I've got my bow-tie on as this is such an auspicious occasion!
Anyhoo, the pawesome peeps at WHISKAS® wanted to know if there was anything I wished I learned in kitten-hood but sadly didn't... but before we get to that, take a look at these lucky kittens who've just enrolled at Kitten College.
Many years ago, when I was a kitten in kollege everything seemed so big, seriously everything seemed huge! Once I'd realised it was a ginormous wurld out there and I let my natural kitty-curiosity run wild I discovered that there were many things I would love to learn, and being a rather eager little kitty I made it my mission to go to as many classes and lectures as pawsible.
As my Great Uncle Arthur told me on numerous occasions; 'Mew can neffur have enough strings on your tail young Basil!' So I took this great advice on-board and spent many extra hours in the library learning all that I could. The Kitten Kollege curriculum was as long as it was broad, and a few of my favourite classes included; Mouse Hunt, Catch the Pigeon and The Cream Connoisseur.
In my final term at Kitten Kollege I hit a bit of a speed-bump, not literally I hasten to add even though I did crash into several hurdles during gym class one day much to the chagrin of the Gym-Mistress aka Miss Meowvellus! MOL
Anyhoo I'm digressing, so there I was in my final term and I started a new class with the esteemed Professor Pudgy MacSpanner who was head of the Department of Cat-Flap Etiquette and The Art of Opening a Tub of WHISKAS® Crunch Treats in Stealth-Mode without the peeps knowing, the latter one tickled my fancy more than mew could effur know.
I was purrticulary fascinated with how to open that foil pack in complete stealth-mode and soon mastered the techniques to ace the class, and while I was delighted with my A+ report card, sadly I flunked the Cat-Flap Etiquette Course due to my abject refusal to squish my whiskers [well they are magnificent] whilst traversing the tiny portal.
As we all know we should look aftur our whiskers, just like WHISKAS® looks aftur us, purrfectly!
F.Y.I. Flunking the Cat-Flap Etiquette Course has not impeded me in any capacity whatsoeffur, in fact I have now trained my P.A. [Purrsonal Assistant] to open doors at my command, which is a much more dignified way to enter and leave ones private residence, which I do on average at least twenty times a day!
Though I do have to say it would be nice to be able to traverse that tiny escape hatch at 3.58am when the P.A. won't wake up and I want to go out to play.
Furry many thanks to WHISKAS® fur asking me to purrticipate in
their paweome Kitten Kollege Dropouts Campaign, I had a blast in the past! MOL

ReplyDeleteI hear that's purretty hardcore Speedy!!! MOL XOX
DeleteSpeedy!! I never KNEW!!! Bunny University!
DeleteWe're glad this has not hindered your growth or hurt your psyche in any way. You are a very bright kitty. Keep reminding yourself of that. :)
ReplyDeleteHiya Funny Farmers, it made me a better cat by failing at something, as mew can't have growth or success without a bit failure... and thanks, I like to think I'm a purretty bright kitty too! XOX
DeleteMom had to go to YouTube and watch everyone of those Kitten Kollege videos. We sure are hoping she isn't planning to send us back to school! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo p.s. Basil, you look very handsome in your bowtie!
ReplyDeleteOh guys, those video's are too cute, too funny and too addictive! Can't wait to see more of them in the future :D Oh I think we're all way past going back to school guys, so don't panic!!! MOL XOX
DeleteDon't worry Basil, I flunked the Cat-Flap Etiquette Course too. I hate anything touching my nose because when I was a kitten a very bouncy play ball hit me on the nose and made it sensitive. Eric would barge through the cat flap but I refused. My mum took the flap off for me so we always had a flapless cat flap. Mum just puts the cover over it at night when she wants me to stay in.
ReplyDeleteHigh five Flynn fur flunking too!!! WOO HOO!!! MOL XOX
DeleteWe skipped school...it's way too much work. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Island Cats, I don't blame mew, but I can say the pawtys were great and some of the nip I got to sample was far out! MOL MOL XOX
DeleteI love your bow tie, you look dashing.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, so furry nice of mew to say so and I do feel most dashing whilst wearing it too! MOL XOX
DeleteThat red bowtie duly increases your handsomeness,and it becomes you 'red-ily'. Oops we flunked the grammar classes. But we speak kitty so it don't matter on purrly bit!
ReplyDeleteThis was a funny post,and we did not see it befur...we enjoyed it a lot! Esp the red tie:)
Oh guys, mew are too kind fur sure... and us kitties don't have to wurry about grammar as we are always correct in whateffur and howeffur we say it!!! MOL XOX
DeleteI love this post! And could you look any more adorable in your bow tie???
ReplyDeleteThank mew Mudpie, and I do try to look this adorable at all times! MOL xox
DeleteThose cat flap thingies can be dastardly things but no matter, peeps can't get through 'em, either. MOUSES! purrs
ReplyDeleteSeville, they certainly are and it's so funny your peep can't use one either! MOL MOL xox
DeleteYou're looking very smart. Our boys attended the University of Hard Knocks with a specialty is tree-climbing and botany.

Hehe!! Like you and Flynn, I failed Cat Flap Etiquette too!! My whiskers are far too sensitive to squidge like that!! Far far better to have a biped at one's beck and call!!

Well pal, you have done alright for yourself even if you didn't graduate kitten kollege. I never did either, but we're still able to tell our staff when we're hungry and get fed. You look pawsome in htat red bowtie pal.
ReplyDeleteKitty college sounds fabulous, appears you had a jolly good time! I don't blame you one bit, Basil... I wouldn't subject those beautiful whiskers to that flap, that's what the P.A. is there for 😊
ReplyDeleteI'm revisiting this post and had forgotten how much fun it was. You did a great job pal. I so proud of you for graduating. Unfortunately, as I said above, I never got to Kitten Kollege. M keeps telling me I didn't have much of a kittenhood because I don't know how to play very well.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! That red bow time is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe never went to Kollege, way too much work. But congrats to you on doing so well. We did NOT get an email from you. So send us another one. margaretmsan@gmail.com. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty with the bow !!
ReplyDeleteI loved the meandering down kittenhood rd. I could have used some lessons on how fast mice want to leave when I'm trying to play with them. I made a cup of nip tea for the mouse and I cause I thought he'd be thirsty too after our playing but he'd gone when I came out with our cups. How rude!
