My Favourite Chair and other things...

I'm so glad the weather is sunny again. It means I can lounge around outside to my heart's content. I just come inside for my meals and nip out again.

The other thing I'm glad about is Mr and Mrs Servant are back from their week away. This time, I had an Animal UNCLE come to look after me. He was very kind, but I'm sure Mrs Servant told him to shut me in the kitchen at night, because I had a whole week when I wasn't able to roam about the flat at night or jump on the bed whenever I felt like it.

Also, Mr and Mrs Servant lock their office door when they go away so I can't sit on my favourite chair. Now that they are back, I've been making the most of sitting on My Favourite Chair - even when Mr Servant is trying to sit on it. I make myself comfy and he has to perch on the edge....

Stuck up a tree - again

Hooray - this weekend was sunny, so I was able to resume my favourite pastime of sunbathing. Yesterday, Mr and Mrs Servant sat in the park so I was able to spend the afternoon there with them. I like the park because there's lots of juicy grass to chew on. However, it's too scary to go there on my own as I get chased by dogs. It's much safer if Mr and Mrs Servant are there.

But I heard that nasty dog, Taz, walking along the path so I shot up the nearest tree. That was a lucky move on my part because, no sooner was he gone, than a labrador and a spaniel came snooping along. I was able to spy on them from my lofty look out post, undetected.

It did mean I had to be rescued by Mr Servant because I was too high to jump down by myself.

Having my fur brushed

Here am I with Mrs Servant who is brushing my fur. Even though it's a scratchy wire brush, I really like it when she does this.

I don't like it though when Mr Servant brushes me - he always is too rough and makes a point of focusing on the bits of fur with knots in it. It really hurts, so I miaow crossly at him and then I scratch him if he doesn't pay heed to my warning.

Then he gets cross with me and I'm the one who gets told off. Sometimes life is so unfair.

Where is the sunshine?

I'm getting fed up with this wet weather. My favourite pastime is sunbathing and I've done precious little of it this summer. Here is a rare shot of me enjoying the sun. Soon, it will be chilly again and I will be forced to lie by the radiator.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live somewhere warmer. I know I have a lovely fur coat but , as far as I'm concerned, the sunnier the better.

Punishment

Mrs Servant is now back, I'm happy to say. However, I made sure I was displeased with her disappearance so I decided to ignore her. I wouldn't let her pick me up, I ran off if she tried to stroke me and I hid behind the sofa until bedtime.

The thing is, if the person who feeds me goes off, how am I to know where my next meal is coming from? I can't be sure Mr Servant will give me food me in her absence, because he isn't my feeder usually. It's all very unsettling for a cat.

Anyhow, it's a relief that things are back to normal.
