Some stuff about my cat Dolphin


Dolphin loves to suckle on poncho! He wants to take up all the room in the bed so he pushes me to one side and lies on top of me! Sometimes he rolls me right off the bed!
When he goes, if I make a single noise he turns around yawns and comes back.
He only suckles in the middle of the day occasionally and suckles mostly at bed time or the morning when I’m still asleep.

I think dolphin is a yarn lover.
He has a special rug.
It’s a small one with a cat on it. The cat looks like a chessboard and there are little cats around it.
He likes to run under it, paws first. When he is under he makes a little peek hole to look out of. Sometimes he falls asleep when he is still under it. He only likes to go under when it is dark out because if it is light out he will want to be out side.

(Dolphin being the cat boss of the city)


Dolphin is the cat boss in the city. If he sees a cat he will chase it away. He has a cat friend across the road that he goes to see around about the time when we are trying to get him in. One time in Three Rivers dolphin was stalking a deer. We have a silly photo of that when dolphins eyes are all lit up.
He hunted one snake and a lot of lizards. Thankfully the snake was not a rattlesnake!

March of the Elephants- a mini story by Maya, Sage and Gudrun

Olly the world famous elephant composer couldn't think of a new piece of music to write for the annual parade.
So he decided to get some fresh air and see if that would help.
He took a bike ride and along the way met his friend Dolphin and asked if he had any ideas.
"What about a cat chorus?" suggested Dolphin.

Olly did not think this was a very good idea and went to stand on his head to see if thoughts would come from his toes instead.

One thing that came into his brain was to look for inspiration in a book.
He found a book with an elephant on the front which looked interesting.

Unfortunately as the book was in Italian he didn't get very far. Being reminded of Italy he decided to knit with his favourite Italian yarn instead.

His ball of yarn rolled away and found his lost toys however and that made him want to do some playing.

When Olly was tired of his cars he felt like doing some drawing. He drew a picture of an elephant marching and that suddenly struck a note in him.

He quickly went to his manuscript paper and began to write his tune.

Olly performed his song "March of the Elephants" at the parade and it was a stomping success!

Cat Haven

I went to the wild cat place.
First there were tigers that tried to catch the fish in the pond.
Next was the Siberian lynx called Ivan. He was playful.

Then there was the Amur leopards, they were Chen and Aragon.
Then it was the Caracals they had a sleepy mood. Then it was Shebeth the panther she slides down the hill head first on her back.
more amur leopards,two jaguars and some little jaguarundis.Then they showed us the clouded leopards.
Tizzy is a snow leopard and is my favorite one.
she is shy and likes her tail.
she shares her cage with a bobcat.
They had a cheetah that was not seen close up.
and a lion that was not seen.




The next time we went tizzy came all the way out and was jumping.


Ivan played with the hose.




They brought the cheetah tango out to be seen.
At one point he was 2 or 3 feet away.
he rolled a lot.
