Fortnight

Saturday
I have a new title in the house… it's "Jack The
Official Spider Squasher". I know that mum is
scared of big spiders, and dad doesn't like to kill them,
as he hates killing things. So when I saw a massive spider
crawling across the floor in my bedroom I squashed it
with my paw. I think mum was quite grateful, that she
didn't see it moving.
Monday
I
still like playing "Catch the water" in the bathroom sink.
Mum took some pictures of me playing in the sink today.
Tuesday
You can always tell when winter is here, cats find the
warmest place in the house and stay there. I remember
from last year that the warmest place is behind the curtains
in the living room. I spent my first evening there tonight,
warm and toasty. As you know I hate being in a room by
myself… the only trouble with sleeping behind the curtains
is that I can never tell when mum and dad have gone out
of the room and left me… I came out later this evening
and they were gone… I soon found them though, follow the
tapping noise until I get to the computer. I should have
known that they would be there!
Mum was out a long time today. She went out much earlier
than normal and stayed out 'til late afternoon. I was
so lonely on my own. When she came in she gave me a massive
cuddle and lots of playtime. She was telling dad later
that she went to see a friend as their cat was run over
this morning and it didn't survive. Very sad, that one
of my feline sisters lost their young life to a nasty
car. People really should slow down and watch the road
more when they are driving. Cars are the biggest killers
of cats in Britain, did you know that? Please respect
my kitty plea, in being a more careful driver.
Wednesday
Mum made me another bed today with the leftover material
from the last one. I now have a big bed in my bedroom
and a smaller version in the living room, so when they
sit and watch TV I can sit with them on my warm cushion.
It's not as warm as behind the curtains, but I get cuddles
on the cushion, so it wins everytime!
Thursday
I have been cuddling mum today, as she needed cheering
up. She went out and came back with a hurt hand. She fell
over and has hurt the back of her left hand quite badly.
It's a real pain as it means she can't pick me up at the
minute and can only stroke me with one hand.. not nearly
the same as a two-hand "mum" cuddle. But I will take whatever
cuddles I get given!
Friday
Still lacking on the full cuddle front but she does her
best. Spent so much time on the windowsill in the nice
warm blast of the radiator.
Saturday
Traitor!!
Mum and dad went out today and came back smelling of another,
new cat. Not only did mum smell of this cat, but she was
covered in white cat fluff. Did she think I wouldn't notice?
I didn't go near the traitor all night.
Sunday
I forgave mum for her traitorous behaviour and let her
play "Fetch" with me for most of the day. I was bored
so it passed a lot of time for me. They watched a film
this afternoon and mum had to watch whilst we played "fetch".
It's a good job she can still throw my ball. Still struggling
on the cuddle front, but it's the weekend and dad's here
so he's been cuddling me more.
Monday
I have been on a diet now for a week as all the biscuits
I have been eating have made me a fat cat! I mentioned
in the last diary that my bottom was too big to get out
of the box that they made me. Dad cut the hole so it was
bigger and I could get out easier, but a few days later
I got stuck again. So since then I have been given less
biscuits every day. I can now get out of the box without
having to do some manic wriggle dance to free my bottom.
I managed to escape this morning when mum went outside
to empty my litter tray. I didn't realise it was raining
until I got outside. I stayed outside for about 3 minutes
and came inside absolutely drenched. I don't think I will
be making any attempts to get out for a while.
Tuesday
22nd October
A
really sad day for me today. Molly was found dead at the
top of our street, she was either knocked over or poisoned.
I am so sad, she was a good friend and only 18 months
old. I will miss her not calling for me anymore. Henry
looked really lonely today, poor thing has lost his mum.
LONG
LIVE MOLLY - RIP. I'll miss you
Wednesday
Still enjoying playing "Fetch" most evenings. I found
something today that I don't think I'm meant to find.
It was a long thing covered with netting filled with cat
treats and toys. It smells very appetising. Mum took it
off me though and said it was for Christmas, but that's
ages away. What if they forget to give to me at Christmas…
it's so far away they may forget.. I will try to get into
it before then.
I'm
still washing in the sink on a daily basis, it's so much
easier than all the licking. Other cats will have to try
it and I guarantee this new washing technique will take
off big time. I much prefer it.
Friday
Oh
no! I got my scrunchy ball stuck in the stairlift rail.
Mum wasn't too happy with me. It took her ages to get
it out. Now it's covered in grease, they will have to
get me a new ball. No more playing "fetch" for a while
I guess.
