Fortnight

Saturday
Life
is slowing down for winter and I would like to announce
that I am going into Hibernation. I believe other animals
do it, I certainly sleep enough to do it so I am going
to give it a try. See you in the spring!!!
Sunday
Damn
and Blast!
Ban
thought I was stupid doing the hibernation thing. Apparently
cats don't do this. He told all the other cats on the
street and today they are all laughing at me. Can't a
kitten do anything new without getting laughed at?
The
bedroom is now finally finished and all the furniture
is back. Mum and dad are sleeping in their room again
so the back bed is free for me, which is good news for
me! It's not as comfy sleeping on the stairs, and I didn't
manage to trip anyone up…..
Monday
I'm getting really good at the "Fetch" game now. I nearly
always drop the ball in mum's hand and she throws it again.
Sometimes I drop it on the way back but she never goes
to get it for me… she waits until I realise that it is
not in the right place, I get it and she throws it again.
Ban never plays, as he is boring! I rolled down the stairs
this afternoon when I was playing and they laughed!
Tuesday
The running on the window trick to get let in is working
a treat. The only thing is that mum gets cross with me
for leaving muddy paw prints down the new French windows.
Does she not realise that a cat has to do these things
to get let in?? I think it's a better method than miaowing
for ages and getting a sore throat!
Thursday
There
is a new kitten on the street. She is always following
me around and today she came into our house and followed
me around for ages. I think she has fallen in love with
me. She is doing my head in!! I wish she would leave me
alone. If you want to see what she looks like she is featured
in the pet gallery.
Mum and dad have nicknamed her fleabag as she has fleas
and has given them to both Ban and me. We had to go to
the vet to get some flea treatment, which was not pleasant
at all.
Friday
Fleabag spent all day asleep on our front doormat. Every
time the front door was opened she ran in the house. She
was playing with my toys and had the nerve to eat my lunch…
does she think that she lives here or something? I am
NOT impressed!
Saturday
There has been lots of bangs and stuff in the evenings
and mum and dad have been looking at the lights through
the window… They tell me that they are fireworks. Ban
and I stay inside during the loud times, as they are frightening
for kitties. My friend Nick (dad's son) stayed with us
today and last night and he took my place on the spare
bed… so I snuggled up with him when I was scared. We cuddled
each other in comfort!
Monday
There were SO many bangs tonight. Ban and I stayed in
and hid under the big bed. I think it was something called
Bonfire Night. Even the kitten came and hid with us as
her mum and dad were out and she was scared outside. Dad
was away tonight and mum watched the firework display
at the cricket pitch behind our house from the back window.
They had a big fire as well, which set fire to part of
our back garden, which was bad luck! Mum went out and
sorted it and we all stayed hidden under the bed!
Wednesday
I have been doing the "Concertina Cat" impression at nights
lately. Mum tries to put me outside at bedtime, but it's
been so cold. I put my front feet by the door and move
my back feet up so they touch my front feet with my back
arched… not an angry arch, just an "I really don't
want to go out tonight mum" arch! Sometimes she lets
me stay in.
Friday
I
have given up trying to beat the record for the largest
number of mice caught by a cat. I have decided that I
am far too lazy and catching mice requires far too much
energy and I decided to give up. I spend so long each
day asleep under the radiator that it doesn't leave me
much time for mousing, and to be quite honest, I can't
be bothered anymore! I still like climbing trees though
as you get some good views and I love scaring the birds.
I saw a weird thing in the tree yesterday though; I think
it was a squirrel. It was massive, a big fat one, I was
amazed that he didn't fall out of the tree! I chased him
over a couple of branches but he jumped to another tree….
I tried to follow but my jump was not quite as good and
I fell out! I landed on the floor, but I'm OK….. Mum saw
me fall and she ran out but I just pushed my face against
her face for a cuddle.
