About Ruby

Ruby “the nose”, feline sleuth extraordinaire

Ruby, a majestic creature of pure white fur adorned with strategically placed patches of inky black (some might say “stylishly smudged”), is no ordinary house cat. Oh no, this ain’t your average Garfield, lounging around dreaming of tuna fish or rabbit pate. Ruby is the neighbourhood’s premiere pet detective, a whiskered Sherlock Holmes with a nose for trouble (and a penchant for napping in sunbeams).

Her days are a whirlwind of thrilling cases: the disappearing goldfish mystery of ’23 (solved: the dog next door), the case of the stolen birdseed (culprit: a particularly mischievous squirrel), and the infamous “Great Sock-Vanishing of ’24” (still unsolved, but Ruby suspects the dryer has a secret life).

Ruby’s methods are unconventional, to say the least. Her interrogation techniques involve gentle head bumps, strategic purrs, and an uncanny ability to decipher the subtext of a tail wag. Her office is a cozy corner of the garden, where she meticulously examines clues, a stray feather, a suspicious paw print, or the telltale scent of tuna on a rival detective’s tail.

Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Ruby remains humble. She enjoys the simple pleasures in life: chasing the occasional laser pointer, batting at imaginary foes, and demanding belly rubs from unsuspecting humans.

Motto: “If you see a crime, don’t just sit there, investigate! But mostly, nap.”

Known Enemies: The mailman (a constant threat), the vacuum cleaner (pure evil), and squirrels (those fluffy thieves).

Fun Fact: Ruby once solved a cold case involving a missing garden gnome. The gnome was found hiding under a rhododendron, thoroughly embarrassed.
