Fortnight

Saturday
Nick
came again today and we played for a while. Then I crept
upstairs whilst no-one was looking and fell asleep on
the spare bed. Everyone went out and left me asleep upstairs.
I spent the night asleep on the cat centre. I am so tired
lately. I think it is the new tablets that I am taking
for my bad leg. It is still hurting me and I have been
limping badly today. Ban also spent the day inside which
is really unusual for him, he was asleep for ages as well.
I think it may be because we are both ill. We both seem
to be sleeping in a lot lately, but we didn't know we
were so poorly. Mum and dad have been really quiet today
and keep giving us loads of hugs and cuddles. I think
that something is really wrong. We always get cuddles,
but they don't usually look so upset when they do it.
Sunday
Mum
and dad had guests all day today and I spent the days
getting cuddles from them, between naps of course. They
had pizza for tea and it smelt so lovely. We never get
to eat any but it did smell nice. We got tuna again today
- twice in one week, very unusual it's normally a treat
tea. I am getting really good at taking my tablet now,
in the morning mum tries to give it to me and I sit there
and put my head back for her and miaow, when my mouth
is open she just drops it in and I swallow it. I am so
helpful! She always struggles when she has to give Ban
tablets and he usually bites her as well… I would never
do that… what's that saying again - "Never bite the
hand that feeds you….. !" - I take that literally,
and would never bite mum!
Monday
It's
washing day today and mum left the laundry basket in front
of the washing machine. She knows I love sitting in the
basket, and, I also love chasing the washing in the machine.
Today I got the best of both worlds. I took the new squidgy
ball into the laundry basket and sat in there and chased
the washing. When I got bored chasing the washing I play
with the squidgy ball and alternate between the two. A
very happy morning was spent in the kitchen helping the
washing machine do it's job! Lunchtime was spent playing
fetch up and down the stairs which was such fun. It's
one of my favourite pastimes but I get tired quickly so
I can only do it for about 20 minutes…. This afternoon
was sleep time and I spent it on the duvet cover under
the radiator in our room… a room full of cat toys and
baskets for us to play and sleep in. It was lovely and
warm and I was dreaming of playing in the field at the
back. Mum was laughing at me coz my feet kept moving and
I was miaowing in my sleep! Cute, does not cover the words
used to describe me!
Thursday
I have been inside all week. Mum spends ages playing with
me and I keep myself occupied with my squidgy ball. I
don't understand why I am not allowed outside, but I don't
mind all the extra attention. I spent ages sleeping behind
the curtains in the bedroom today. You get an excellent
view of the street and when it's sunny you get really
warm as well! Dual benefits! I'm still taking my tablets
every day and my leg is getting much better.
Friday
Another
trip to the vet today. Both Ban and I were put in our
travel baskets and taken to the vet. We were both given
more tablets for our aches and pains! My leg is still
not better and Ban has a big yellow scab on his head where
he has been bitten, so he is now on tablets as well! He
is so grumpy…. When we got home both Ban and I were really
sick and mum and dad had to clean it all up. They weren't
very happy with us! They didn't get our blood test results
so they are still stressed out about it… but it's cool
because we both get extra cuddles!
Sunday
I spent the day playing fetch with dad. I got loads of
exercise running up and down the stairs catching the ball.
I just know I looked so cute! Ban has been inside sleeping
a lot but he won't play with me. I have so much extra
energy as I can't go outside, I am jumping and pouncing
on Ban but he hisses at me and I run away… He never plays
with me…. It's not fair!
Monday
I
spent ages watching TV tonight. I was sat on the unit
at the side watching whales and fish. Mum and dad were
watching "The Blue Planet" which is a wildlife program
on the sea. It was fascinating. I have seen it before
and both times it made me want whale for tea!! Instead
I got tuna for tea, so it was still nice! Every day now
I spend hours playing "fetch" with mum. I always get the
ball, no matter where it lands. I love playing, but mum
thinks it makes me like a dog as cats aren't supposed
to play fetch! A few weeks ago mum and dad watched the
film "The Matrix" on DVD and I watched a bit of it too.
I have been practicing and now I can run around the wall.
I stand on something (like the TV) as a starting point,
and put my front paw on the wall and then run. It looks
cool and allows me to reach new places in the house. I
am Jack the Supercat!

Wednesday
I
managed to get outside today. Mum was emptying the litter
tray and dad was upstairs as he wasn't feeling well and
when mum was outside I made a run for it. I met Molly
(previously known as fleabag) and we had a play in the
garden for a while. The fence panels have blown over as
it has been really windy here and we were trying to walk
over them without them falling over, such fun! I wasn't
out for long, but it was a good play session! Molly normally
comes to the window and we rub noses through the glass,
I have missed playing with her. Ban is on tablets this
week and he has bitten and scratched mum every day. She
has given up with the tablets now and puts them in his
food so she does not get scratched, he is SOOOOOO
moody!
Friday
Still no test results. Mum and dad are really stressed
by it. They said it will be next week now. It doesn't
bother me, as I don't understand what it is all about
and spent the day playing. I killed my squidgy ball by
accident tonight. Dad put it in the rollabout toy… it's
a box with holes in each side and 2 balls inside to play
with. So there were the 2 balls that were meant to be
in there and my squidgy ball and as I tried to get it
out with my claws I ripped a bit of the stuff out of the
ball. I got it out of the toy but then as I played with
it more stuff came out and after about 10 minutes there
was nothing left. I pined on the cushion for my ball for
ages and then mum got me another one out of the cupboard.
My hero!
