Fortnight

Tuesday
Dad
went away again today and it was a quiet day. Mum had
some broken biscuits that she decided to throw away today.
She put them in a bag and whilst she was doing something
she put the bag on the floor… I just HAD to stick my nose
in to see what smelt so lovely… when I came out of the
bag trying not to lick my lips so she could see!! She
started laughing at me.. apparently I had biscuit crumbs
all over my face, whiskers, and head. They were bits that
I was saving for later..!!!! She cleaned them off me and
robbed me of my supper!
Dad made me a new toy yesterday. It is a long Pringles
tube with a hole cut in the lid and then stuck back on
the tube with sticky tape. Before he stuck the lid down
he pushed the squidgy ball into the tube and I had to
get it out. I spent all Easter Monday trying but with
no luck. When they went to bed they moved the tube out
of reach on the porch windowsill because it makes such
a noise when I smash it into something! Well anyway, mum
was on the computer AGAIN, and I managed to jump up and
push the tube off the windowsill. When mum came down I
had got the ball out of the tube and killed it on the
carpet. I don't think that she was too happy with me.
She had to clean it up and get all the fluff off me as
well… a clever ploy for an extra cuddle I think!
Thursday
Foiled
again! She stopped me jumping out of the window again
today. One day I will manage it, it's a promise I made
to myself. Mum has been quiet all week, working on a new
project on the computer and I have been left to keep myself
amused. I have spent ages playing with the Pringles box
(now it has a new ball inside) and my other toys. I am
a bit bored though… too hot to sleep and play so I just
pace around for a while.
Friday
Hee! Hee! Hee! I played a trick on mum last night and
she looked so worried. Dad is still away and when she
told me it was bedtime I ran upstairs so I could not be
shut in my bedroom. For a special treat I got to sleep
on the big bed upstairs! I had been restless all night
and when she got into bed I was dead rigid, head in the
air wobbling a bit, paws dead straight and pointing out
and breathing really fast. She looked so worried, I think
she thought I had caught some secondary infection with
the Feline Aids in my system. She sat up cuddling me until
3am when I couldn't keep it up anymore and fell asleep.
What a cool way to get lots of dedicated attention. I
was fine this morning but she looked a bit worse for wear..
I wonder if I will be allowed to sleep on the bed tonight?
Sunday
I
had another 2 fit things today. Not good. I guess I will
get dragged to the vets tomorrow!
Monday
Yep - I was right! I got dragged to the vets this morning.
The vet was in the back of the surgery and I was exploring
the room. I got a bit bored and opened mum's handbag by
pushing my head in the flap and pushing it open. I managed
to get some stuff out and stuck my head right in and tried
to crawl in and hide. I managed to get my head and shoulders
in before the vet came back into the room. They think
I may have epilepsy. I hope not. They have given me some
tablets for it.
Wednesday
Mum has not given me any of the tablets yet, she said
to dad that she is waiting to see if I have another fit,
so looks like I may have got away with it. I feel OK now,
much better, it could have been an infection.
Mum left the cat food bag open today. We get big 5K bags
of food, and I crawled inside the bag and ate as much
as I wanted. When I came out, my head and body were covered
in bits of cat food dust. For the rest of the night I
got a free meal when I had a wash! How cool is that?
Mum
was doing some sewing today and there was lots of new,
strange smelling material on the floor. I had a good sniff
and then curled up and fell asleep in it. It now smells
of me and I can accept it into my house!
Friday
Still
OK on the fit front, so maybe it wasn't epilepsy after
all. Spent the last few days sleeping and playing with
my squidgy ball. I had lost it for a few days. I kept
standing by the boiler trying to give mum a hint. After
2 days she eventually cottoned on and looked in the boiler
case, bless her; she pulled out 4 squidgy balls. 2 blue
ones, one pink and a green one. I am in Kitty heaven!!!
On
the window front I am still trying. Every time I go into
a room I jump onto the windowsill and get on my back legs.
I can then see if the top window is open. If it is I try
to jump out. Mum has got wise to this and now she has
started to close the windows in the rooms I go into...
how cruel is she? I will manage to get out soon though.
