Oh Dog! Are you in for a treat today! I have a guest with a most unique name, and a rather unique story! So, without further ado, I give you Dumptruck Spires!!!
Dumptruck: Hi Rumpy. Fainks fer invitin’ me to be on your world famous blog.
Rumpy: Oh Dog! Thanks so much for being my guest today! Let’s start out by you telling us a little bit about you.
Dumptruck: I woz born in Ware which iz abowt 20 miles north ov London. Mi breeder was a nice man called Allen who breeds British Shorthairs and usually gives dem names dat begin wiv Robocat. I am a British Shorthair Siver Spottie and I woz one of his early kittens. Mi pedigree name iz Adwalsh Titan Silverstorm. Now dat is a bit ov a mouthful. I am a 14 year old British Shorthair Silver Spottie and came to live with my tipists when I was about 6 years old.
Rumpy: Oh? And what was your life like before you came to your current home?
Dumptruck: My early years were spent “servicing” young lady cats who wished to have kittens. I also attended many cat shows with mixed success. I did a few shows wen I woz young but Allan wanted to breed from me cos I was very pretty an’ a good shape. Wen I woz about 6 he decided to retire me and sold me to a new home. Before I woz collected my now mummi & daddi rang Allan and asked if he had a male cat that they could have. Allan told the people that were going to have me that I was no longer available because mi cat mummi Inca was veri happy wiv my now mummi & daddi and I was going to join her. Here’s a phot of me and mi mummi Inca.
Rumpy: Awww…. you were such a cute baby! And what an interesting past! Tell us about your family.
Dumptruck: I share my house with my two sisfurs. Bunbun – a female honey coloured Persian, and Jess – a female British Shorthair black tipped (white with black tips to her hairs). I have 2 tipists who put da words on Facebook for me.
Rumpy: So tell us what you like best about your humans?
Dumptruck: They spoil us all rotten. I have a giant dog bed to sleep in as well as Horaces back.
I love that they are willing to type my messages on Facebook (even if they cant always spell proper).
Rumpy: Wow! So, any complaints?
Dumptruck: Although my tipists are generally very good I do NOT like the way they sometimes make me beg for treats as a party trick when their friends come round. DO THEY THINK I AM A DOG?!?!? (No offence meant Rumpy).
Rumpy: None taken! And speaking treats, what are your favorites?
Dumptruck: That’s an easy one! I make an complete fool of myself “begging” for Whiskas Temtations Chicken and Cheese flavour. I just can’t get enough.
Rumpy: Sounds like my cats! So, are you on Twitter Dumpy?
Dumptruck: I am so busy on Facebook I have never found the need to open a Twitter account.
Rumpy: And how long have you been on Facebook?
Dumptruck: I discovered Facebook about 18 months ago and I love it! I am lucky to have “met” many wonderful friends (over 3800 at the last count). I would think that I have regular contact with about 150 of them. I love the fact that they are spread all over the world – although sometimes the time zones can get a bit confusing.
Rumpy: Yeah, I know what you mean about that!
Dumptruck: In my Facebook “world” I can travel anywhere on the back of my faithful steed Horace who is a green hippo. London – Australia approximately 1 minute travelling time! Round the world trips can be made in a few hours allowing for short stops at friends homes for a natter and a few “noms”.
Rumpy: It is wonderful isn’t it? Is there anything else you want all your friends to know?
Dumptruck: The most common question I am asked is “why are you called Dumptruck”. I am told that it’s because I was a big kitten who never turned down food. I come from a line of large kitties. For example one of my brothers was called Robocat Demolition Man! He was HUGE!
Rumpy: Oh Dog! Speaking of huge, if you were a dinosaur, what kinda dinosaur would you be?
Dumptruck: Mi hero is Manny the Mammoth from the “Ice Age” films. He, like me, is big, intelligent, has a big appetite and doesn’t see the need to run. If I had been born when dinosaurs walked the earth then I would have wanted to be a mammoth.
Or – A Megatheruim which was a giant sloth. It never ran anywhere and neither do I!
Rumpy: *giggles* Well Dumptruck, it has been a real pleasure to talk with you today!
