Hi evfurrybody! This is Oliver repawting.
When my sisfur Ruby told me abowt her noo boyfriend I was very surprised as until now Teddy had only been a blogger buddy of ours. I should have noticed the luvvy-duvvy messages that Ruby and Teddy were sending each uvver in the comments.
I am eight minutes older than Ruby, so as her big bruvver I am very protective of her. Before I give my consent I need to work owt whether Teddy is a sootable match for my sisfur as she is verry speshull to me. Teddy was kind enuff to take part in an intervyoo.
Here is my intervyoo wif Teddy:
OLIVER: Where do yoo live? Is it far from north-west England?
TEDDY: I live in Melbourne, Australia. It is a very very long way from England, mum has been to England twice but dad has never even been there!
OLIVER: Why are yoo called Teddy Westlife?
TEDDY:Dad chose the name Teddy because he thought it was cute, and since everyone in my house has two names, mum picked Westlife after Teddy Westside from How I Met Your Mother. She made a mistake and thought it was Westlife. I don’t mind, I think it’s a cool name.
OLIVER: How would you describe yourself?
TEDDY: I am very enthusiastic about everything, and I am very busy. I have a lot to do every single day. Mum says I am the happiest little camper she has ever met. But dad also calls me Teddy Monster.
OLIVER: What is yoor favourite pastime?
TEDDY: Playing! I have many toys to play with, and I make sure to give them equal time every day if I can. I am also a big fan of eating.
OLIVER: Which toy do yoo prefer? The mousie or the foil ball?
TEDDY: Mousie, but if there is a foil ball around, I will play that too!
OLIVER: Do yoo have yoor own fevver-on-a-stick?
TEDDY: I have a bear-on-a-stick, fevvers are hard to come by here for some reason.
OLIVER: What sort of food do yoo like? Do yoo like prawns?
TEDDY: I like ALL food! I have never had prawns but Huffle says they are the best food ever, and she knows a lot, so I believe her.
OLIVER: What do yoo fink of GERLS?
TEDDY: Um, I don’t know many gerls, only mum and Huffle. I like them both well enough.
OLIVER: Do yoo have any tattoos? (Ruby wanted to know that one)
TEDDY: Yes I am a very big tough mancat and I have one tattoo! In my ear, from when I was new-terred.
OLIVER: Ruby will be happy wif that. Cats are not tattooed in England when they have their NEW-TERS. What is yoor idea of a romantic evening with yoor gerlfriend?
TEDDY: Having a nice snack together, maybe a little wrestling match, and then settling down on my toasty blanket for a cozy nap together.
OLIVER: How do yoo fink yoo would cope wif a long distance relationship?
TEDDY: I think it would be okay, because I have easy access to the interwebs and I know how to do FaceTime on mum’s iPhone. Huffle uses iChat all the time on the iMac to talk to her best friend Zimmie, so I’m sure she could show me how to do that too.
OLIVER: Ruby is very clevver and she spends lots of time trying to werk fings owt. Do yoo have the patience for such fings? Or are yoo like me and would rather just lie arownd wif yoor head upside down and yoor legs in the air?
TEDDY: I like a bit of both. If I want to do something, I will not give up trying, even if dad picks me up and moves me somewhere else, or even if I get the dreaded water pistol squirt in the face. I will not be thwarted! But I don’t mind hanging around with my paws in the air if the occasion calls for it.
OLIVER: Thank yoo Teddy. Is there anyfing else yoo would like to say?
TEDDY: I hope I passed the test! I am looking forward to having you as my big brother-in-law Oliver, I’m sure you can teach me lots!
Well folks, there yoo have it! I fink I can safely say that I am impressed wif Teddy’s answers. I give Ruby and Teddy my blessing!

We, the ManCats of the house, approve also! And are wildly jealous of Teddy’s tattoo.
Good interviewing, Oliver! I am glad Teddy passed the test. It is good that you are looking out for Ruby. But I can tell Teddy is a good sort.
Oliver, we’re glad you vetted Ruby’s boyfriend. It shows you are a protective brother cat.
Oliver, that was a very thorough grilling … erm … we mean questioning! It’s quite good that Teddy has toys ‘cos yoo might get to share them if he visits Ruby!
Good interview Oliver – you’d got to be sure that Teddy was suitable for your sisfur Ruby.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Hi Oliver and Ruby, I have never met other British Shorthair bloggers that look like me before. I lives in NZ, and am pleased to meet you both.

Oliver, I think you were too soft on Teddy. You should have asked him how he intends to provide for Ruby! He’s too stupid to get a job, you know.
You have performed your brotherly duty, Oliver, but we don’t think you have anything to worry about. Teddy seems like a very nice guy and we think he and Ruby make a lovely couple
Oliver, theese was an excellent interview! You did a very good job with the investigation and I thinks that theese “Teddy” is a good little guy! Congrats to Ruby.
