Fortnight
32
Sunday
Another boring weekend. Didn't do much… same as humans
really. Sleep and eat and a bit of play. An easy life!
Monday
My ears have been really annoying me over the last few
days. Very itchy and really annoying. Mum brought out
the cat basket this afternoon so I guess it means that
I am going to the vets for him to look at them for me.
Ooooooooh no! I think I am in trouble now! On the
way back from the vets I managed to tip over the carrier
in the boot of the car. It made me feel really ill though,
stood in the basket that had flipped through 90 degrees.
Just as mum turned in to the top of our street I was really
sick. I couldn't help it… when she stopped the car and
opened the boot she didn't look too happy. I was stood
in the basket on its side with sick all over the inside
of the basket and me! The worst part was that the basket
has holes down each side and because the basket was on
its side all the sick was dripping through the holes onto
the carpet in the car. Mum opened the basket and let me
out in the garden to clean myself off and she washed the
inside of the car and then the basket. When she let me
in the house soon after she put drops in my ear… as if
I haven't been through enough today! I shook my head and
left little waxy drops all over dad and the wallpaper.
Don't think that they were too impressed, but they didn't
put any more in!
Tuesday
I think that the ear drops are a regular thing for a while
as I got some more put in today. I don't mind it though
as they are not as itchy as they have been for a while….
After all this time mum has finally learnt how to throw
fishy how I like it. I stand a bit away from her and she
flicks it into the air so I can jump up for it. We spent
ages playing tonight. I think it was a "sorry"
for the eardrops!
Wednesday
Dad has been away for the last day and mum and I have
been playing lots. I have even started sitting on her
knee whilst she watches TV. I haven't done that since
I became an indoor cat. I had forgot how nice it is to
sit there and get continuous cuddles! Mum is a bit upset
today as someone in the street heard someone talking and
thinks that mum has been reported for animal cruelty as
I spend so long hanging out of the window in the bedroom.
How can she be reported for cruelty? I am spoilt rotten
and definitely never hurt.
Friday
I jumped out of the office window this morning and was
reviewing life on the street from the top of the garage,
with mum trying to coax me down, when 2 strange men arrived
at our house. I jumped down to see who they were and mum
picked me up. I lay there stretched out in her arms purring
and the men introduced themselves… they were here to look
into the animal cruelty report. They came into our house
and were really surprised at how many toys I have around
the house and that I stay in mum's arms purring for so
long. Once they knew that I was a special cat as I am
FIV+ and can't go outside but am still adapting to the
indoor only thing they were OK. They said I looked really
healthy *GRIN*, and obviously not abused as I am
so loving and not nervous of mum at all. I played with
them for a while and they played back, although they didn't
know how I like fishy to be thrown… I took it to mum for
her to show them… if they are going to play - they may
as well get it right!!!!
They
are not pressing any charges and I get to stay here which
is really excellent. Spent the afternoon sat on mum's
knee as she watched TV… it's such a hard life!
Sunday
Not much has happened this weekend. Spent last night playing
in the cider box with fishy, and, today I have been moving
from window ledge to window ledge watching other people
moving around the street. I am so nosey! If I lie in the
lounge window then I can see all the people and the birds
as well… so maybe I may get to catch one.. if it will
fly near enough the window when it is open. I know that
it is a small chance but you can never give up hope can
you?
Monday
It has rained all day today and I have spent it asleep
on the windowsill in the bedroom. Don't even want to try
and get outside in weather like this. Mum is still putting
eardrops in my ear, as apparently it is still dirty. I
hate having them put in and try to shake them across the
room hitting as much furniture and wallpaper as possible…
but she has devised a way so that none gets sprayed across
the room - foiled again! She puts in the drops and then
gently holds down the tip of my ear and rubs it against
the base of the ear so the liquid gloops down into the
ear before I get a chance to shake and distribute it over
the room!
Wednesday
Not much happened today. It is still raining and I spent
the majority of the day sleeping on mum and dad's bed.
Mum got me a new squidgy ball today and I spent ages playing
fetch tonight. I haven't had a new ball for ages, so I
enjoyed playing fetch tonight.
Thursday
Mum put new covers on the settees in the front room today.
The covers are massive and when she pulled the old one's
off it landed on me and I couldn't find my way back out!
I had fun playing inside the cover for a while. After
she had done the covers she sat outside for a while in
the garden and let me go out for a play. I spent about
10 minutes in the garden. I ate a bit of grass and went
round smelling the other cat's markings in the garden.
There are lots of new smells out there and it was so exciting
being able to play in the garden. When I got bored I went
inside and lay under the table on my bed. It was a nice
change to be in the garden for a while.
Friday
Every morning dad comes down on his way to work and gives
me a cuddle and then shuts me back in the room until mum
comes down a bit later. This morning I left a large and
smelly deposit in the litter tray and the room smelt really
bad, I couldn't wait for dad to come down and let me out!
He opened the door and emptied the tray into a bag to
put in the bin. He shut the door so I couldn't get out
and went to put the bag in the bin. There was NO
WAY I was staying in that room because it smelt,
so I managed to open the door. As dad opened the front
door to go to the bin I shot out and ran into the front
garden. He was running late so he couldn't catch me to
put me back inside, and he went to work. The only problem
is I didn't see that it is raining really heavily. When
mum came down an hour or so later she went into my room
and the door was open. I could see she was really confused.
I was miaowing but she couldn't see me, as she turned
round I grabbed onto the windowsill so she could see my
wet head in the window and she let me in. I was SOAKED!
I had forgot what it was like to be so wet. My fur was
stuck up like a punk and my feet were soaking, not much
fun. I ran upstairs and rolled around on their bed to
remove the excess water, she will be mad when she sees
the muddy patch on the duvet! It was nice to spend an
hour or so in the outside world, didn't get to see Molly
though, unfortunately.
