No, not a misspelling of George Michael's hit single, but one of Daisy's ginormous facial appendages resembling those belonging to a giant walrus rather than a short haired moggie.
I am, in fact, referring to Daisy's stray whiskers. They get everywhere and we know they're Daisy's because they are pure white and very strong. Poppy has black whiskers and Lily's are short and feathery.
I've considered marketing them as quill-like pens; only Daisy's shedding of them is sporadic and wouldn't net us much profit.
Lily has found a use for them, though. She becomes highly excitable if she happens across one of Daisy's whiskers on her travels. After an initial sniff of the white article, she gracefully leaps in the air, almost salmon-like, and then dances and leaps around the whisker that's lying on the carpet. This puts a whole new spin on the popular pastime 'dancing around a handbag'.
The challenge is to catch her doing this on camera, but that well known phrase "Never work with animals and children" has been coined for a reason. It's nigh on impossible, I expect, to catch Lily in her 'whisker dance'.
Harry Hill... watch this space!!!
