Max & Me

Just lately me and Max have been getting along really well. He likes to play with me sometimes and I love it when he sits down and tells me stories about his past and the things he did. He is a very cool dude and despite being very old, he still has fun and mischief in him.

One of the things he loves to do to annoy the two legs concerns climbing fences. He always pretends to be a bit simple and not to understand anything but he's really sharp and clever. He climbs up the big fence and sits on top and pretends he can't get down. The two legs get all upset and come out for him and talk to him to coax him down but he stays resolute. In the end they have to get a step stool and reach up to lift him down. He loves it when he gets wet too. They always like to dry us off in the big soft fluffy towel but Max says No. He runs round the house dodging them and putting his dirty paw prints everywhere and finally he stops and lets them wrap him up and dry him. he told me he likes the towel really but has to make a bit of a show!

The other night he got caught out though. It was pouring with rain and he climbed up on the fence and ahd to stay there. I think the two legs forgot he was out and he got wetter and wetter. In the end I told the male two legs to go out and empty my litter tray and Max called to him from on top of the side gate. I was watching the fun.

The male two legs said just a minute and I thought he was going to get the camera. They like taking pictures all the time do two legs. He went and got instead the big fluffy towel and lifted Max off straight into the towel and dried him off. Max was a bit put out he had been forgotten and a bit put out that he hadn't had his towel chase but he forgave them once he had had his turkey and liver pate. I can't eat that sort of thing - just tuna and cream for me but Max has a strong constitution,

I found a way to worry them going out just like Max. I told you about my tunnel. Well I go and lay in that for hours so they can't see me and don't know where I am. it is funny when they open the door and call me and I klay perfectly still and they go away again and come back soon and call again. I said Max could coome and hide in there with me but he prefers his own games.

I suppose when you get older you can please yourself what you want to do which is a good thing - I think
