Another Valhalla Mystery: Part II

Disciples of The Leader Otis,

Brother Henry here.

As Brother Oliver explained in his earlier post, something strange happened in Valhalla again. After Brother O went up there to investigate, I started to drift back to sleep on the couch. That didn’t last long though because Brother Oliver yelled down at me from Valhalla asking me to come assist him in his investigation. I wasn’t sure what I would find when I got up there, but I NEVER expected to find new minions who looked like they had partied until they barfed! After I got over the initial shock of the sight, Brother Oliver said, “What do you think, Brother Henry? Is it possible there was a plushy party up here last night and that goat barfed from over-partying?” I said, “I can’t be sure, Brother Oliver, but I’m going to take a sniff of this and see what I can determine with my nose.” I then leaned in to get a whiff of the apparent plushy goat sick.

In order to further our investigation, I took a sniff of the goat sick.

Homeless Birds Part I: What The Fur?

Disciples of The Leader Otis,

Brother Henry here.

This morning I walked into the living room and discovered something that puzzled me. The Guardians had placed three wooden boxes on top of one of my favorite beds, and the boxes said “Wren and Chickadee House” on them.

The boxes said “Wren and Chickadee House”. I was puzzled.

This Year’s Puzzling Catsmas Gift: Part IV

Disciples of Otis,

Brother Oliver here.

When we last left off, Sir Thomas had decided that the weird bench was “The Bench of Infinite Wiener Vigilance”. I didn’t think that was quite right, so I knocked him out of the way and inspected the object further. That’s when it came to me. I said, “Brother Henry was right! This is’The Bench of Infinite Scratching’! And he was also right when he said this is ‘The Bench of Infinite Mouse Slaying’!” Looking downtrodden, Sir Thomas said “So Brother Henry was totally right, and I was completely wrong?”

I declared that Brother Henry was right about the bench. Sir Thomas was upset because he thought that meant he was wrong.

Disciples of Otis,

Brother Oliver here.

When we last left off, Brother Henry had claimed that the weird bench was in fact, “The Bench of Infinite Mouse Slaying”. Sir Thomas said that he had a different idea and asked Brother Henry to step aside. Brother Henry did so and Sir Thomas took up position on top of the bench. As he did so he said, “Ah-ha! Just as I suspected. You guys, when I sit up here I am raised quite a distance off the floor. I can see much farther than I could from the ground, I mean, at least several inches farther if not more.”

Sir Thomas said that he could see several inches farther from the top of the bench.

This Year’s Puzzling Catsmas Gift: Part II

Disciples of Otis,

Brother Oliver here.

When we last left off, Brother Henry had just noticed something and asked Sir Thomas and I to stand back so he could demonstrate the true purpose of the mysterious object we were investigating. After Thomas and I did as he asked, Brother Henry jumped down off the weird bench and crouched down behind it. One second passed… then two. Suddenly Brother Henry sprung up and reached over the bench with his right forepaw. As he did so he shouted, “You’re mine!” and then he brought his paw down on a colorful toy mouse that was sitting in front of the bench.

Brother Henry hid behind the bench and then struck out at a toy mouse.

Disciples of Otis,

Brother Oliver here.

The Guardians have given us some mysterious Catsmas gifts in years past, but this year’s gift caused even more debate than usual among the Inner Circle. What was this strange object? And what was its ultimate purpose?

This is the gift we received. What was its purpose?

Plushy Poo Puzzle Part III: I Rest My Case

Disciples of The Leader Otis,

Brother Henry here.

When we last left off, Brother Oliver was trying to blame the poo on Thomas’s pink, plushy, psycho minion. I pointed out that the minion didn’t smell like poo, so Brother Oliver may have been smelling poo on himself. Brother Oliver seemed to take offense to my suggestion. I said, “Brother Oliver, to recap what you said earlier, you claim you came up here to use the fresh litter box, and after you used the box, you got out and saw the minion sitting on the bench. That’s when you screamed like a lady…” Brother Oliver turned away from the minion muttering, “Yep. It’s just as I said. I used the box, then saw the minion. I have no idea what you are talking about as far as that lady scream goes though. I recall letting out a very cat-manly roar.”

Brother Oliver was sticking to his story.

Plushy Poo Puzzle Part II: Whose Poo?

Disciples of The Leader Otis,

Brother Henry here.

When we last left off, I had gone up to Valhalla to investigate a lady screaming. The lady turned out to be Brother Oliver. He had been spooked by Thomas’s pink minion who had reappeared in the minion bin. I investigated the minion and noticed he was holding a “Wiener Dog Art” book and had “W” shaped pupils. Then I noticed a big poo on the floor, which was even more disturbing.

As I took a closer look at the poo, a scenario played out in my mind. It looked like someone had walked to the center of the room, looked up and saw the minion, and then pooed out of sheer terror.

It appeared that someone had looked up at the minion and then fear-pooed.

Plushy Poo Puzzle Part I: A Stinky Discovery

Disciples of The Leader Otis,

Brother Henry here.

This morning, just as I was drifting off into a nice, peaceful, after-breakfast nap, I was suddenly jarred awake when I heard a lady screaming. The scream sounded like it came from kitty Valhalla! Even though we have all been avoiding Valhalla since the weirdness that happened up there a week or so ago, I immediately ran toward Valhalla to see if I could be of assistance to the poor lady who had screamed. When I reached the stairs and looked up, I discovered that the lady was actually Brother Oliver.

As I started to climb the stairs I asked Brother Oliver what was going on. He said, “Brother Henry! It was terrible! It all started when the bigger guardian cleaned the litter boxes. When he finished, I decided to do what I always do… you know… go from box to box making a small deposit in each before anyone else gets a chance to do it. Anyway, without thinking, I headed up to Valhalla to use that box first. When I arrived in Valhalla, I… I used the box and then looked up and got the fright of a lifetime! It… well, just take a look for yourself! I’ll be over here on the stairs.” I rushed past Brother Oliver and jumped up on the bench in front of the window as he took up a safe position on the stairs.

Brother Oliver was pretty shaken up. He said he would wait on the stairs while I took a look.

Next- The Wienervention Part III: We Don’t Know What To Think

Disciples of Otis,

Brother Oliver here.

When we last left off, I had beaten Sir Thomas upstairs to Kitty Valhalla only to find that the wiener collage was no longer there. Oddly, this seemed to perplex Sir Thomas as well, and he seemed to be in a big hurry to get out of Kitty Valhalla after he inspected the wall and noticed something to his right. After Sir Thomas left, I went in to take a closer look. As I was looking to the right and trying to figure out what had apparently disturbed Thomas, Brother Henry finally joined me in Valhalla. When I asked him what had taken him so long he simply said, “That kid has some moves you wouldn’t believe…”.

Brother Henry finally joined me as I tried to figure out where the wiener collage went and what Thomas had seen.
