The Wheel is Turning, but the Hamster is Dead header image 2

Your input is called upon.

March 29th, 2008 · 18 Comments

So I have managed to track down the hamster.  As in my last interview, I had said he was dead as I had not heard from him.  I am going to interview him in the next day or so, and thought you might want to ask it some questions.  So, go ahead.  Anything you wanna ask the little dude?

In other news, I spent almost 36 hours straight in bed with my wife.  We were both so tired at the end of it.  Unfortunately I cannot brag about any adventures in sexyland.  My cat decided on Thursday night that it is time to drop the litter she has been growing.  She decided at 1am in the morning so I had not got to bed yet, and was about to get in to a conversation with Jim about the different series of Star Trek. So, 4 kittens later, quite some time has passed and it was a  new day, of which we got a little sleep but not much.

Charlie (the cat) is pretty close to me.  I looked up on the net what she would do when she had them.  I was told that she would go to a quiet corner somewhere and she would have them quietly.  Well, not quietly, but without the need to human interaction.

So.  Just before 1am, she came and laid beside me.  Let out a few weird noises and the cat equivalent of her waters breaking happened on the chair.  That was nice.  I checked and all the signs were there, so I went to wake up wifey who wanted to know.  At this point, Charlie went to her quiet corner.  Unfortunately her quiet corner was my side of the bed under the quilt.  Yup.  She had them in the bed.  She also didn’t want us to leave her, so we have been attached to the bed for I have no idea how long now!  I also took over midwife duties when the 4th one came out and a tired Charlie looked and wasn’t quite sure what to do now.  So I broke the little sack it was in.  Yeah, I can fix cats as well as computers!  No mouth to kitten was required.  I got there in time.  Everytime we leave the room, Charlie calls us back, so I will get a proper post together when I have more time!  I know, I am putting the animal before you lot, but you lot don’t purr when I stroke your ears, and when you lay down and want me to stroke your belly, it is just plain unusual.  That’s the way it goes!

    Glad to hear that Mum and brood are doing well. Keep up the good work, Midwife Sy.
    It’ll be good practice just in case you get stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital for your daughter’s birth. :D

    Eeesh…I am a midwife! That in itself is scary, and there is NOOOOOO way I am deliverying my child. I can see a lot of me fainting going on if I see that!

  • 3 GarethNo Gravatar // Mar 29, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    I’d be grateful if you could ask the hamster why he thought it would be a good idea to pretend to be dead. I’m all confused now.

  • 4 GarethNo Gravatar // Mar 29, 2008 at 10:09 pm

    Faint, after delivering a litter of kittens, I don’t think so!

  • 5 TameraNo Gravatar // Mar 29, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    That really was quite a job, Sy. Good going.

    Hmmmm.

    I would like to ask the hamster…ehhh. this:
    “If you should decide to reinhabit Sy’s brain, which greatness would you lead him to in the future”?

  • 6 SyNo Gravatar // Mar 29, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    Hahaha. Noooo. Not feint from the kittens, I mean feint from seeing my wife squeeze out a melon. That is just gonna look weird. OK, so that said I will still have a look I reckon!

    Your questions will be answered!

    Great job with the kittens, Sy. You’re a natural. So I guess you proved me wrong, you are an animal lover.
    And the hamster is alive too… WOW!
    Hamster, what ever possesed you to leave and abandon Sy and the wheel? And why come back now? Are you here to stay or just visiting? Where did you leave, where is your house now?
    All for now, don’t want to scare him away with too many questions

  • 8 Jim - Just a GuyNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 2:00 am

    I think we really need to know what the hamster thinks of you and why he has allowed to know he is alive.

  • 9 SyNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 2:22 am

    I am pretty sure the hamster is going to have a field day giving me grief. I might have to let the wife interview him. I dont think it will be pretty!

  • 10 Jim - Just a GuyNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 2:27 am

    I would like to have you interview the wife. First question.

    What on God’s green earth made you marry Sy?

    Then of course are her concerns as to what your unborn child will grow to become with the two of you as parents.

    I am sure I will think of other questions but the pain is setting in and I can’t see straight.

  • 11 SyNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 2:33 am

    Get some painkiller in you. You know, that liquid stuff. Mixed with hops. Beer I think they call it.

    Actually, ask more of those questions, and if I get enough from people, I will ask her and get her to post! Hopefully…

  • 12 Jim - Just a GuyNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 6:15 am

    Mrs. Sy could you please elaborate on your husbands statement that you in fact are crazier than him. Did you know he says such things?

    Did you have anything to do with the hamster faking his death?

    How many times has your husband tried to talk you into a threesome?

    How many times have you tried to talk him into a threesome.

    I realize those last to may be stepping over certain lines and feel free to omit them as my intent is only entertainment and all comments and questions are meant in good fun.

    Have you considered therapy for your affliction, oops I mean marriage to our dear lunatic Sy?

    Why or why not?

    Have you ever tried to have Sy committed?

    Has Sy ever tried to have you committed?

    Did either of you succeed?

    What do your parents think of your choice in partners?

    I am sure there is more but I figured I give others a chance to come up with some.

  • 13 GarethNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 8:37 am

    Sy, I meant that if you’d managed to see the birth of the kittens then there’s no chance of you fainting when you see your wife giving birth.
    If its anything like my wife’s labour then you’ll be heavily involved…you’ll see everything!
    How’s the litter doing?

  • 14 Lady BananaNo Gravatar // Mar 30, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Awww Congrats on the safe delivery of the 4 fur babies :)

  • 15 OnediaNo Gravatar // Mar 31, 2008 at 12:27 am

    Looking forward to photos of the kittens. You are a trooper. She demonstrated real love and trust in you that she came to the bed to have the babies.

  • 16 SyNo Gravatar // Mar 31, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    @Gareth – You sure? The kittens was a walk in the park. They just fell out. No real effort at all. But I dunno if I wanna see…well…I dunno…I like that part of my wife as it is! If you know what I mean…

    @Lady Banana – Thank you! I have pictures I should post, but I dunno…I dont want people coo’ing over my site. It doesnt seem right!

    @Oneida – OK, so maybe I should put pictures up. Yeah, I am very close to Charlie. She isnt happy when we leave the room though! Follows me about and I have to put her back with the kittens!

  • 17 RoseNo Gravatar // Mar 31, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    I want to know if the hamster is scared of the many voices? Maybe that is why he pretended he was dead.

  • 18 Jane TurleyNo Gravatar // Apr 2, 2008 at 8:25 am

    Sy, did you wear a liitle blue uniform and a fob watch over your man breast? Stockings?

    Just curious.

    Now you already have some of my questions for the hamster. Here’s some more;

    What do you feel about gerbils? Rumour has it you are one but suffer from delusions of grandeur. Have you have a mammal change operation?

    Your teeth are particularly sharp are you related to Count Hammy of Transylvania?

    When will you stop trying to build a second home in Ken Dodd’s hair? Give the man a break; he’s eighty didn’t you know?

    If you aren’t related to Count Hammy are you related to Sammy or perhaps Fanny?

    Please explain why Master Sy is continously called upon to repair gnawed wires at gatwick airport?.Are you in collaboration with Sy in an attempt to keep him in paid employment?

    Do you have a little blue uniform, a fob watch and stockings? Just curious.

    Cats eat hamsters; are you shit scared?

    Hamsters crap on cat food.( Their faeces looks the same as those biscuits.) Are you looking forward to be literally “shit” scared in some kind of sick and twisted way?

    Why aren’t you dead? Hamsters are only meant to live for 3 or so years; you are 33. Would you like me to put you to sleep? I have a large mallet….

    Hmm..I better stop now I’m getting out of control, not a good thing for Mrs T…..
