Signs You’ve Been Spending Too Much Time with Your Hamster

You have to make a conscious effort to leave the house by way of door instead of by way of gnawing.

You now firmly believe there are no bad habits; only bad habitats.

"What a dump!"

Whenever somebody tries to pick you up you bite their finger.

Your dream vacation used to involve two weeks in Hawaii under the sun; now it involves two weeks in Hawaii under the refrigerator.

"Don't you just love Hawaii? Hand me the suntan lotion, will ya?"

Oh sure you want to visit the great pyramid someday; but only so you can hang out in the tunnels.

The actor Nicolas Cage leaves you cold; Nicolas’s cage however, is  whole different story.

"Nice digs Nick!"

You’ve recently redecorated your house to include hardwood floor shavings and a new couch that spins.

Who needs a fork when you’ve got two hands!

"What?"

You’re in the process of drawing up plans for a 7-foot plastic ball to protect you from danger when you go jogging.

You’re new blog is called www.let’sridtheworldofcats.com

And finally, the best way to tell if you’ve been spending too much time with your hamster is:

You’re starting to look like Tom Cruise.

"Hey! Do I smell carrots?"

Until next time . . . I love you

  1. That hamster has better furniture than I do! Is there some new Pottery Barn for rodents catalog out now?

  2. Whew – I was worried there for a minute. Fortunately, I have no interest in anything related to Nic Cage, nor do I look like Tom Cruise.
    Off to play with my hamster!
    (No, that is not a euphemism.)

  3. Hahaha! Hawaii under the refrigerator and Nicolas’s cage! You’re killing me Linda!
    Just out of curiosity, do you currently have a hamster?

  4. YES!!! that is the best thing EVER!!! the Tom Cruise thing ..hee hee I was trying to think..def rodent like… oh I should send you a pic of ex to do something like that with… he looks like him though,.,, so it might be a moot… I am more a rat than hamster person… had a few as pets.. no no its true they are very smart and excellent pets… hee heeeee it was worth the wait.. MommMMM <3

    • YAY! So glad you liked it Daughter Dear! :D I could work in your lookalike Tom Cruise Ex in some post or other I’m sure. But first I’d have to find out if he has an attorney — HA!
      I’ve heard rats are good pets and that they are very intelligent. I guess I wouldn’t mind having a rat if I could get his tail bobbed and maybe have him wear a furry coat of some kind. You know, cuten him up a bit and I’d be fine with a rat!

  5. Hahahahah! You, my friend, have a twisted sense of humor…and I LOVE It! :)

  6. Ha! Tom Cruise DOES look like a hamster. I think it’s the scrunched up face and that he takes 20 minutes to chew on a single grape.

  7. Haha! Let’s see, I’m getting that picture in my mind’s eye right now . . . .ewww . . . I’m overnighting him some utensils!

  8. The two hamsters I had when I was a child drowned in the sump in the basement. Thanks for the reminder. (Note: I’m crying a bit inside.) On a happier note, I always thought they stunk and I never like taking care of them and they did manage to swim a little after I threw them in the sump. So, yeah, there’s that. HF

  9. Hi,
    Loved the little hamster, the little guy does have a good little home there, the best of everything, doesn’t seem right somehow. :D
    Oh and I loved the Tom Cruise reference.

  10. Love the tom Cruise mention. This was hilarious, light and so much fun.

  11. OMG. Hilarious! I love the first pic

  12. I laughed so hard I rolled outta the half a Kleenex box I live in and banged my head on the bars. In fact, my whiskers are still quivverin’… : P
