Fortnight

Saturday
Mum
and dad were out looking at stars again tonight and I
fell off the big wall at the back of the garden, which
was quite painful…. In the dark you can't see where it
ends and I fell off where the gate starts…. I tried to
look cool when I landed on the garden but it's hard to
look cool with all your legs flopping in the air over
your head……
Sunday
The
weather is getting warmer now and I was playing in the
garden before. I was looking at the new addition to the
patio, a watering can. It looked so interesting that I
decided to see what was inside…. A good idea I thought,
but I got stuck. My head was at the bottom, one of my
back paws was in the handle, one of my front paws was
in the spout and the other was under my body. Mum came
out in the garden and called my name. I miaowed but she
walked past me…. She saw me then and tried to pull me
out by pulling me by the hips. It hurt a bit and it took
her a while but I got out… I will not be looking in there
any more! I got loads of cuddles for that so maybe if
you get hurt you get cuddles… will have to try that in
the future, but with something less painful than the watering
can.
Tuesday
You
know that cats are supposed to kill animals… everyone
says that they do it, well, last night I got an excellent
catch. I left it on the front doorstep for dad to find
when he went to work. I left it upside down so he saw
a square piece of wood with a tail and 4 paws sticking
out. When he turned it over I had bought him a mouse in
a mouse trap! I bet the bloke up the road is wondering
how he mouse managed to run away whilst in the trap! I
thought it was really clever of me! Dad was amazed… he
even told the vet when I went for a visit, they thought
I was a clever little kitten!
Thursday
I
still like playing with my mouse toy I am earning vital
skills to help me catch my own one day. I bought home
a little bird for mum this morning. I don't think she
wants me bringing her presents and she put this awful
collar on me today with a bell on it. It's very hard to
sneak up on things when your neck tinkles!
Friday
I
have found a new game. In the day time I stay in the house
and sleep. Mum plays on the computer and sometimes I sit
on her knee. There is this pointer thing on the screen
that she calls a mouse. I try to chase it… it's harder
than catching a real mouse - there is hard glass in-between.
Are you supposed to catch this mouse or not? I also like
typing by walking along the keyboard. It feels strange
under the paws but it's nice after a while….
Sunday
I
have lost my collar. I carefully managed to snag it on
a hedge on the cricket pitch where mum or dad will never
find it. I hope that they don't get me a new one. To celebrate
I went out trying to catch breakfast. I finally managed
to catch my first mouse. I was so proud but then Ban took
it off me. I do not know what he did with it, but I never
saw it again.
Monday
Ban
and I have been getting on better in the last few weeks.
I think that his stress tablets are working because he
has been a lot nicer to me. We play games together but
sometimes when I bite him he bites me back. I have had
to go to the vets for tablets as he bit me the other day
and my paw is all swollen up. Apparently I have an abscess
from his mouth. I will get him back, he never gets a vet
trip off me biting him….
Wednesday
Since
the new bedroom has arrived they keep the door shut, but
I managed to get in again today. I had another look in
the mirror… the cat that was there was smiling back at
me… I'm still not sure if it is me or not… It's very quiet
the cat in the mirror, and I am definitely not a quiet
cat!
Friday
I
mentioned earlier in the diaries that the miaow has uses…
to get food, to go out, to come in, to play with me..
well a few more uses are:
Warning
other cats I am here
The
car miaow is when you are in the car and it moves. Mioaw
in the basket and mum and dad talk to me….
To
get Ban or other cats to play with me
To get attention if you are stuck somewhere…. That's how
they find you!
I
got in the toilet paper cupboard again today. It still
tastes nice. I wonder why they keep the cupboard shut…
Why is it so important that I don't eat it all?
