Bless Me

Excuse me while I sneeze.

Those daft two legs were washing up this morning. I have to go and sit beside them on the draining board to ensure they do a proper job - particularly when he is doing it. he tends to cut corners and unless I am there to tap his hand when he puts up a half cleaned cup I am sure they would be living in squalor.

Well I was seated there - not too comfortably it has to be said. Those draining boards tend to very cold on my bum and if he hasn't dried it properly before I sit down - the draining board that is not my bum! - then I have a wet botty all day. I was watching him deal with the teaspoons they had used for their boiled eggs. I have noticed they get very caked with the egg and need a good scrub. He was in a bit of a careless mood - I know he's coughing with a cold but that doesn't excuse slapdash behaviour. I was just about to tap him with my paw to remind him to clean right into the hilt of the spoon when he fluffed the scouring pad right on my nose.

Really thought that was funny he did. Stood there laughing and coughing - highly amused. I had a big blob of soap on my nose and it made me sneeze. I have been sneezing all day as a result of that. Think I have got them a bit worried now because he keeps coming and giving me a cuddle and rubbing my nose. Actually I now know how to do those pretend sneezes but it still works and he comes over and rubs me. Hold on.

Yes caught him again - this is getting to be fun!

Which Weigh?

Did I tell you about the two legs obsession with weighing themselves? They are always jumping on the scales in the bathroom and saying things like "Oh no I've put on 2 pounds!" or "Good I lost a pound last week".

I don't know what they find so clever about losing money like that. If I had a wallet I could have money and I could lose it quicker than them. trouble is where could I carry a wallet? so I don;t bother with money at all. Sebastian said we are like royalty - apparently they don't use money either.

Anyway they started on Max, Seb and me with this weighing stuff.

"Oh Max you're a little thing - only 9 pounds!" - personally I wouldn't give 2 pounds for him even if I had the money. He is very sulky at times.

"Sebastian, you have to stop eating you're twenty pounds now!" - now that is some money but I'm not sure about stopping eating - that sounds a bit dangerous to me.

When it came to my turn I put up a bit of a fight but I know when I am beaten and eventually gave in to the scales. "Fourteen pounds! that's disgraceful. Look at your fat belly!" Well that did it. I didn't come down to be insulted like that so I immediately shot back upstairs and under the bed where they couldn't find me. When I did come down my biscuits had been put away and I am starving.

Could some of you send me some food to stop me from fading away please

Apologies

Sorry I haven't written for a little while but they have been very busy at mine and I couldn't get the two legs off the machine to write to you.

It seems one of their relatives died and they have been doing all sorts of organising and stuff. made me realise how lucky we cats are not to have all that baggage and nonsense to leave behind when we go. They go off early in the morning and come back late at night with a load of stuff in their car and then they sort through it and throw stuff away and keep other stuff and send stuff to other two legs - it's all very bemusing to watch.

It seems that they even have to clear out where they lived and then sell that to another two legs and all those clothes and stuff they put on has to go to people to sell. I said to Seb I hope he wasn't planning on leaving a whole load of stuff for me to sort out. He was quite dismissive of me and said I should show respect. I was only being honest.

Anyway they now have this big thing called a funeral where they all go and say goodbye and then they go to eat somewhere. I thought we might get taken but I don't think so. I was keeping a watch to see if they bought any extra fish for me but I haven't seen any yet.

Anyway I'm now off for a quick lie down and then I must pop out and wait for Percy pigeon to come by. he said he's going to show me some new tricks. Sebastian just laughed but I thought it was nice of Percy to think of me.
