Play It Again

Did I tell you about those fabulous mice I got off grand dad for Christmas? they are brilliant all ropey and chewy at the base and then they've got all these feathers out the top. I love them. I throw them up in the air by the feathers and chase them all round the room

I have found a great place to hide then too. under the TV. It's so cool. I put them there while they are watching something then I fish them out and throw them about and push them back under. the two legs get all cross and shout at me not to go under the TV but it's a good game.

Anyway the other morning around 5 o'clock I got bored. Max and Sebastian aren't early risers and the two legs don't get up early when it is dark mornings. So I went and got my mice and brought them upstairs. I jumped on the bed with a couple and dropped them by the male two legs. he sleeps very soundly and snores like Sebastian. I tapped hima few times and he woke up. Silly sausage thought I wanted a cuddle. Anyway I laid down with him for a few seconds to make him feel better and then I pawed to him where the mouse was.

I half expected to get told to take it away and not play in the bedroom but to my surprise he reached out and picked up the mouse and hurled it off the bed and onto the landing.

I ran after it. Picked it up turned round. ran back. jumped on the bed and gave it to him.

He was so happy. He called me clever and thanked me for bringing it and threw it again. We did this for ages. He really seemed to like doing it and I didn't want to spoil his fun even though it was tiring jumping on and off that bed.

In the end Sebastian came in and said I had disrupted his sleep and would I mind shutting up. I said I was playing with two legs but it didn't make any difference to Sebastian. he wanted his sleep. Sebastian can be very determined when he wants. beneath that gentle exterior he is a lion at heart.

I shall be having early morning games with two legs for a while now.
