Bobby broke his tail! (again!)

Bobby is my keychain cat. He was a gift from somebody long long time ago. I like it so much I was afraid of spoiling it and has been keeping it in a box for years until I forgot about its existence! I came to realise his existence while packing through my stuff. I decided to let Bobby out and happily put it on my pouch. The above picture was taken during one of his early happy days as my keychain pouch!

Within a month, Bobby met with an accident. As he has a really beautiful long straight tail (made of plastic) this made him highly susceptible to tail injury. His tail must have got broken in my bag. Luckily was able to find it and stick it back with superglue.

Ever since that 1st accident, I felt I must do something to protect Bobby from further damage but I still wanna hang him somewhere I could see him everyday. So I thought hey why not hang it with my nametag.. this way Bobby can follow me around when I work and it cheers my day to see him anyway.

Two days ago, Bobby fell down again.. okie it was the user's fault but I didn't do it on purpose. His tail broke again! for the second time...

The sad thing was when I tell some of my colleagues about it.. they laugh at poor Bobby including MR LIM...

Good thing Bobby is a good nature cat with not much temper.. he seems oblivious to the whole thing.. I hope he's not too traumatise by this whole thing.. cause he's got this daze look..

I kept the broken tail in a very safe place to make sure the paint won't get scrape off or the whole thing disappear as you know its so tiny..

You see, I can even compare it with Lala's tail to show you how tiny is it... Oops shouldn't be doing comparison like that.. might get Bobby upset..

Anyway I thought I'll settle this tiny problem with the use of superglue. I bought a new tube of superglue and tried to glue it back this afternoon.

I applied the superglue on the end of the tail and stick it back to Bobby

held it in position while blowing it to hasten the process of sticking..

only to realise the tail does not stick back to Bobby after I release my grip

I tried the process a few more times with the same result. I got frustrated and decided to apply some on my fingers and stick them together... no lah kidding not that silly. Anyway I applied some on a piece of paper and stick them together and guess what? It doesn't stick!

What kinda stupid glob of superglue is this! Can't even stick paper together! And to think the superglue packaging still have the cheek to caution user that it BONDS SKIN IN SECONDS! Well on the other hand maybe I only have myself to blame... for this stupid tube of superglue only cost me 80cents..

Well looks like Bobby will have to go through few more days without his tail for the time being until I buy a proper truly SUPERGLUE!

And no laughing at Bobby meanwhile...
