Back to normal

Well, my two servants are back which I'm very pleased about. However, I spent the first two hours making it very plain that I didn't like them being away. I sat with my back to them and miaowed crossly every time they tried to speak to me. These servants need teaching a lesson or two.

Mind you, it was fairly cushy being looked after by the Animal Aunt. She stayed in bed until about 10am every day and ALLOWED ME ON THE BED!! I must admit I played her up a bit. You see, the weather was rather nice and I wanted to stay out longer in the evenings, so I'd prance just out of her reach whenever she tried to grab me.

The weather is still lovely, so it's one long round of sunbathing for me....

Fun and games

Although I'm having a fun time with my Animal Aunt, I do miss my two servants. Mrs Servant in particular, because she likes to play games with me. There are two I like best of all. One is where I chase round after a silver chain. I'm quite good at jumping up and catching it. The other game I really enjoy is attacking a long feather that she wiggles around under my sack. I can play with that for hours. I pretend it's a mouse and pounce on it. Then I run into the sack and hide inside it.

Going on holiday

I thought as much. My servants have got their suitcases out of the cupboard, so they are definitely going away. And the fact they were going around tidying up suggests an Animal Aunt is coming to look after me.

I wonder which one it will be this time? They're all nice, of course, but I especially liked the lady with the bicycle. She spent ages stroking and brushing me.

Of course, I'm going around looking upset with that 'why are you going away again' expression on my face but secretly I'm looking forward to being pampered by the Animal Aunt.

Why I like my Animal Aunt

When my two servants go on their summer holiday, a nice Animal Aunt comes to stay. It's not always the same one but, without exception, they are all v. nice.

They spend hours brushing my coat and stroking me and generally making a big FUSS of me. I reward them by jumping on their laps and being very affectionate and friendly. Of course, I do miss my two servants when they are away, but I always look forward to the Animal Aunt coming.

I hate it when my servants go away for the weekend because I'm shut in the flat the whole time. Granted, a friendly man comes to feed me and play with me twice a day but it's not quite the same as having an Animal Aunt lavishing attention on me all day long.

Mmm, come to think of it, my servants are due a holiday any time now as they always go away in June. I just hope they choose a week away and not a series of weekend breaks...
