Moggy Musing

Hi! My name is Boy. I'm a male bi-coloured tabby cat. Ever since I discovered that Malcolm Turnbull's dogs were allowed to blog, I have been pestering Clarencegirl to allow me a small space on North Coast Voices.
An I can't believe it's not butter musing: For months now there has been a strong rumour doing the rounds that a NSW Nationals MP had an affair in 2011 with a former Nationals' staffer. The burning question contained in this rumour is: Did both parties agree to leave their partners and did the politician renege on the promise - leaving the staffer facing a very angry spouse?
A who is HappyVegemiteKR musing: YouTube is carrying a video clip of Kevin Rudd swearing while he was Aussie Prime Minister. The commitariat are blaming the video on an anonymous Gillard supporter, but local moggies aren't so sure. With only one video posted on the day this user joined the only thing we know about them is that they decided to record their age as 42. How old is Peta Credlin, again? Just about to turn 41? Hhmm - wonder who else is in the frame?
A who verballed Abbott musing: My little canine friend Veronica Lake is chortling quietly. She reckons Abbott wasn't verballed at all and the person who told Tony Hodges words to the effect that Abbott thought the Tent Embassy should be moved from the exisitng site was actually a journo from the Murdoch press. So who's to blame for stirring the pot then?
A tweet musing: One of my fav Siamese @CatFoodBreath has corrected the record when it comes to famous Hollywood movie quotes and here they are: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a meow.” “I’m going to bring him a dead mouse he can’t refuse.” “You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a cat. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a dog, which is what I am.” “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not on the couch anymore.” “Here’s looking at you, kitty.” “Go ahead, make my lunch.” “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my nap.” “May the Fur be with you.” “You talkin’ to me?” “I love the smell of cat food breath in the morning.” “Being a cat means never having to say you’re sorry.” “The stuff that cats are made of.” “They call me Cat Food Breath!” “I’m as sleepy as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” “Breath. Cat Food Breath.” “There’s no place like the couch.” “Show me the cat snacks!”
A reason the dog barked in the night musing: My little canine friend Veronica Lake is all puffed up with pride because she barked away intruders while staying with a friend; Between 1.30am and 3am the perpetrators roamed streets including Osprey Dr, The Halyard, Admiralty Crt and Gumnut Rd, armed with a screwdriver casing out properties.
A mail musing: Still sniggering over the rumour that one local voter returned to sender the Christmas Greetings flyer sent out by the new MP for Page in an envelope addressed to 'Steve' Gulptis MP.
A rumoured whiff of corruption musing: Which Clarence Valley local currently housed at Her Majesty's pleasure is allegedly having his government-subsidised NCCHC social housing held indefinitely for him because he has family connections in the Commonwealth welfare bureaucracy?
A thought to ponder: In case of bushfire or flood - do you have an emergency evacuation plan for the family pet?
An adoption musing: Every week on the NSW North Coast a number of cats and dogs find themselves without a home. If you want to do your bit and give one bundle of joy a new family, contact Happy Paws on 0419 404 766 or your local council pound. Boy's Email: catlives9z AT gmail.com
