Fortnight 165
Sunday
Another day of Formula 1, so I stayed upstairs out of the way. Ozzy spent the race asleep on mum’s knee. I think he is mad as he seems to like the motor racing!
Tuesday
Dad is still on annual leave and today they both went out for the afternoon. I was sunbathing on the patio until they came home and Ozzy was locked in the kitchen.
This evening I had a nap on the cushion next to dad, whilst Ozzy slept in the dining room. Once again tonight I decided to eat Ozzy’s food.
Wednesday
Mum was playing with Ozzy and the cat charmer tonight. I was on the sofa next to dad and Ozzy was on the floor. When she flicked it one way I get to play with it for a bit, then she flicks it the other way and Ozzy plays with it for a bit, and so it went on for a while. It was nice us both playing with mum at the same time, don’t think I would play with Ozzy without mum as well though.
Friday
I watched as Ozzy was taken off in the cat carrier this afternoon, I guess he is off to the vets.. ha! When they came home I was asleep on the bed upstairs and Ozzy came up next to me and went to sleep too.
Saturday
I was sat on the back garden today watching the birds in the trees and I got a real shock as Ozzy was let out of the doors and joined me in the garden. I guess he is allowed out now, I jumped backwards in shock as I wasn’t expecting him to come outside. He was running around the garden smelling stuff, he seemed to like the Rosemary bush which is OK as I hate the smell of it. He is too small to jump onto the fence at the minute, so I went into the woods at the back of the garden and left him to play in the back garden. He soon realised he can jump onto the BBQ and then onto the wall, so I didn't get much time to myself today! He was outside for about an hour and then went in for a long nap. He was nervous of everything and was really jumpy, he must have tired himself out!
Monday
I was on the fence today watching mum put out the washing and Ozzy came along the fence from the front garden with a large mouse hanging from his mouth, he looked really proud of himself. I was surprised that he had caught something on his second time outside. He proudly dropped it at mum’s feet, I think she was surprised as well! Within 15 minutes he brought another mouse home and instead of leaving it outside, he neatly laid it on top of the wicker basket that mum keeps all our food in. I wonder if he wanted it for his tea instead of biscuits!
We both had duck flavour pouches for tea. I had adult cat ones, and he had kitten ones but I ate his and he ate mine so we both got a different meal for a change, although they were the same flavour!
Wednesday
I spent last night outside as I wouldn’t come in when they called me. As dad went to work this morning I missed the door opening, so I didn't get let in until mum came downstairs. I was really unhappy as the bedroom window was open and I could hear Ozzy in the bedroom getting a cuddle from mum. Wednesday mornings are MY time with mum on the bed, I have been cheated!
Friday
Mum and dad got a new camera today and both Ozzy and I had our pictures taken many times today. I think by bedtime we were both seeing red lights in front of our eyes. Tonight I slept on the sofa by dad and Ozzy had a play with the laser pen and then went to sleep on the other sofa. We have each found our place in the household order and are happy with each other now.
