Trinkets and tinsel with baubles and bows, a mouse with a hat and a very red nose. Out came the tree, dressed up in finery, splendid to see. Sneaky Slinky Malinki creates mayhem with the Christmas tree in this delightful board book from Lynley Dodd's bestselling Hairy Maclary and Friends series. I’m looking forward to sharing our lives with Slinky and seeing how her character develops.Board Books. I have heard she is a bit of a mouser so who knows what lovely presents she may bring us! I’m seriously considering keeping her in until after Christmas so she becomes properly accustomed to her new surroundings. Like her namesake she seems to come alive at night and this is when she demands attention by nudging and rubbing against us. My Slinky is still getting used to her new life here. Through the moonlight and shadows he’d prowl and pryĪt night to be brief, Slinky Malinki turned into a THIEF! He had bright yellow eyes and a warbling wailĪnd a kink at the end of his very long tailīut at night he was wicked and fiendish and sly It turned out her full name was ‘Slinky Malinki.’įeeling curious I googled the name……….and discovered she is named after Slinky Malinki ,a mischevious black cat in a children’s story book. Her owner had hand reared her so she was obviously a little fighter. None of the kittens survived except for her. She had been one of a box of several very young kittens abandoned outside a school one cold winter 3 years ago. I saw a picture of an adorable looking black kitty with a shock of white under her chin and was immediately smitten.When we went to see her, we were told about Slinky’s sad start to life. 😦Ī friend alerted me to the plight of ‘Slinky’ whose owner had had to move into rented accommodation, where no cats were allowed. It was a shock when she fell ill and the house felt so much quieter without her. She was 15, though still bombing round the house like a wild thing and jumping up and down walls and stealing several neighbors moggie’s food. Our vocal adventuress Mrs Tibbs passed away in the summer. I had not planned on getting another cat quite so soon. Why? ,you may ask! Well we had just brought home with us a bright red pet carrier, containing a little black cat. A few weeks ago I found myself Googling the name Slinky Malinki.
