Here at Scallywags, we adore all creatures great and small, so we have decided to share some of our special friends with you. Our lovely team have been kind enough to let me interview their adorable fur babies (best job ever!).

Every month we will introduce you to one of our paw-some pets, starting with the beautiful Jack!

My time with Jack

After much negotiating, I finally convinced Jack to let go of his cardboard tube and answer some questions for me.

So, Jack, thank you for your time today, I can see you’re busy. I would like to ask you some questions so our customers can get to know you better. Would that be okay?

Yeah sure, I always have time for my fans.

I was wondering, do you have any nicknames?

Well, my full name is actually Jack Daniels. I must be named after someone very important to my human. When Mum is happy with me, I am “bubba”, but if I’m being cheeky then I am “monkey”.

Well, Mr. Daniels –

Please, call me Jack.

Okay, Jack, can you tell me about your favourite treats?

Mummy gets me these little chewy sticks that taste like fish. I like to take them to my chair and chew them up into tiny little pieces. I want to eat the whole pack, but I only ever get one at a time.

Mmm, sounds delicious! So, what do you like to get up to in your spare time?

I like chasing my feet, I can just never keep up with them.

WATCH THIS!

(Jack rolls around in his chair chasing his feet. Perhaps we should have a quick interlude.)

That was very impressive!

I know, I am good at catching feet. I also have a catnip toy, that thing is addictive!

That sounds like fun, can you tell me more about your most-loved toy?

It looks like a fish, but it’s not a real fish – and it’s filled with catnip. Catnip is the best. Where did I leave that thing?

(Jack looks around the room for a while)

Jack?

Huh?

How would you describe your perfect day?

I think it would start with a little siesta on the armchair, then maybe I’d take a stroll outside. I like to check the garden perimeter to make sure it is secure. Then I play a bit, chase some shadows and get back to my chair.

That sounds paw-fect! Now I wonder, do you have any naughty habits?

I am not proud to say it, but yes. I like to wake up my mummy, a lot. I just miss her sometimes when it’s dark and I get sad, so I pounce on her a little. I also really like climbing on the bedroom door!

Well, that does sound reasonable to me. Who would you say is your best friend?

My mummy would like to think that it’s her, but it’s actually the laundry basket. We go way back to when I was just a kitten. He just gets me.

Well, I guess you can always have more than one best friend. You know, I’ve really enjoyed talking with you today Jack, thank you.

My pleasure.

Before we go, I would like to ask you one final important question.

Are you a good boy?

(pause)

Sometimes.
