Hamster in the House

(Patrick's house) Remember the blog post, "Madison, Mojo, and Patrick"? Well, Patrick is in this blog post, and he gets his own HOUSE. See how in "Hamster in the House."



Mojo was doing what he typically does: Sleeping and playing and eating. The new family cat, Flanders from my previous post, was doing what he typically does: Sit by Patrick's cage. I went over by Flanders. "I noticed that it must be boring to be stuck in a puny cage and just sleep and go to the bathroom and then eat and then go on a wheel and then go to sleep again!" Flanders said. "You're feeling SORRY for that hamster?" I asked to Flanders. "Yeah, he should get his own house to live in like us!" Flanders replied. I was thinking exactly what Flanders was thinking and I really didn't like it.

"Get Madison and Mojo to stretch that cage up to the ceiling!" Flanders demanded. "MADDIE! MOHITO'" I called. The two cats came to me as fast as iron and a magnet! "Stretch that cage up to the ceiling!" I commanded. Madison and Mojo grabbed the cage and jumped. And the cage acted like clay and bounced up with the two cats. "Now we all must work hard to make that cage a magnificent hamster mansion! Use furniture for the doll house, use stuff similar to furniture, I don't care! And add an extra level to the cage!" Flanders demanded!


I went to the sister's room and found some doll house furniture. A bed, a couch, a desk, a table, chairs, a toilet, a sink, and even some bean bags! I gave them to Flanders, who was adding walls to Patrick's cage. "Amazing, can you go get Patrick's electricity ready?" asked Flanders. "Yes Master." I said. I just got two balloons and rubbed them together and connected those to the cage. The static electricity was enough as electricty to Patrick.

Madison was using everyday materials for furniture. A small block of wood made a perfect counter, and bottle caps were the perfect size for toadstools. A CD made a perfect circular carpet or a dance floor. A cotton ball was great for a bean bag! A plugged in lightbulb was great for a lamp! Patches were perfect for carpets! Madison used that brain really well. "Here you go, Royal Flanders." Madison said. Flanders saw the block of wood, bottle caps, CD, cottonball, lightbulb, and patches. "I need MORE!" Flanders said. "This is good enough you labour-demanding king!" Madison said. She went to rest.

Mojo was picking out the paint. Maybe something as yellow as the sunlight. Maybe something as blue as the sky. Maybe something red as blood. Or even a color green as leaves! "Well I can't decide between yellow, red, green, or blue! Maybe some purple will do it. So Mojo used purple. But he couldn't decide if he wanted to use light purple or dark purple. "Maybe a combination of both will do." Mojo said. So he got both shades of purple, and left the paint shop. He turned in the purple paints to Flanders. "Good, now get me another color for the floor. Poor Mojo wasted hours deciding for the floor color. Poor Mohito'.

All that work was worth it. The hamster had a house! Flanders loved it! He worked for days on the roof and doors and windows. Now today, when you look at the cage house, you may be thinking: "Wow" or "What the heck?" But let me tell you that house will stand there for future generations of the hamsters to come.
