Fortnight
61
Monday
I ran upstairs this morning and did my usual job of waking
sleepy head mum up. Normally I wake her by miaowing and
rubbing my head on her face. As I got onto the bed for
the usual routine I needed to sneeze. It took me completely
by surprise and as I moved my head close to her to rub
her face, I sneezed three times in her face. I don't think
she was too happy to be woken by cat snot. It was an accident
though; I hope I'm not getting a cold as that means another
trip to the vets.
It was a hot day today and the paddling pool was out in
the garden. I stood with my 2 front paws on the side looking
at the water. I was nearly tempted to jump in, but I am
so nervous of large areas of water. I gave it a good sniff
and then ran away.
Thursday
It's been a hot and humid week and I have spent it asleep
on the bed. It's too hot to sit by the window and too
humid to play so I have been very boring and spent it
asleep. It's what we cats do best!
Saturday
Another
really hot day today. Mum and dad spent it in the lounge
playing on the playstation. I sat and watched the game.
It looked a good game and I was sat right in front of
the TV so I got a better view. They were playing "The
Italian Job", if you sit really close to a big TV
it looks like you are driving the car so I could be involved
in the game… seeing as cats don't have thumbs, I can't
play, but I can watch and learn!
Sunday
Something strange is happening in our house. Mum and dad
spent the afternoon packing stuff out of the cupboards
in the kitchen and I gave them a helping paw. I made sure
that all the boxes were strong by jumping in them, just
as they wanted to put something in there. When they made
me get out, I waited for them to put their stuff in and
then got right back inside to check out what was being
put away. I had great fun, but I don't think I helped
them much. A lot of the cupboards are empty now and there
is a big pile of boxes in the garage. I wonder what will
happen, only time will tell so watch this space.
Monday
I did mum such a big favour this morning. I killed a whopper
of a spider in my bedroom. Mum jumped when she saw it,
even though it was quite squashed and rather dead. I didn't
eat it, I don't like spiders, but I know mum is scared
of them so I made sure I killed it.
Tuesday
Such a beautiful smell, where is it coming from?
Mum did the weekly shop as usual today but when she came
home there was an alluring smell coming from the kitchen.
I spent ages trying to find it and worked out it was coming
from the cooker. At tea time this gorgeous looking chicken
was taken from the cooker, that's what I could smell….
None for me though unfortunately. After their tea I jumped
on the kitchen unit, I'm not allowed to do that but I
had to find where the remainder of the chicken was. I
saw it through the microwave glass but clever mum had
put it out of reach. I can't open the microwave door,
much as I tried it would not open for me.
Thursday
Oh yes! A day to remember!
This is the best day in ages. It was the first day that
I got fed normal biscuits for ages. My diet is over, I
now weigh in at a trim 4Kg exactly. The purrrrfect weight
for a stud of a cat like me! I am no longer on the Hill's
Prescription diet food and am back on normal biscuits.
A smaller ration than I used to have but they are so much
nicer. I ate my food so quickly that I sat there burping
for a few minutes after. You don't hear cats burp that
often, but I did a rip roaring one that would make cats'
world wide jealous of my talents!
The
cleaner came again this morning, and I spent the morning
guarding my food bowl. Not having her steal any of my
precious biscuits. They are ALL mine! She
will insist on putting all my toys on my bed cushion…
does she not realise that cats don't have hands and I
therefore can't get them off to clear my bed. It took
mum 2 days last time to realise and clear my bed for me.
I did have a try at moving the toys but I soon gave it
up as a useless job. Dad did it for me though so I can
at least sleep on my cushion tonight.
