King of The Castle

It was my best mate Lucy's fourth birthday yesterday. Now Lucy is a little two legs who lives with my sister Bluebelle. Bluebelle says she is nice and looks after my sister and talks to her. I told Bluebelle she has to be careful and remember the vow of silence in the cat community but I trust her and Lucy comes round to see me sometimes. I love to tease her and run away and pretend to hide so she can't find me but I am watching all the time.

Anyway it was her birthday and I heard all this noise in the garden so I went to investigate. Well would you believe it they had built this castle for her. It was all bright and clean and shiny and so colourful. I heard them call Lucy into the garden and she shrieked with joy when she saw it. I guess she must be a princess now she's old and that's why they built the castle.

There were other little two legs about and other bigger two legs so I scurried back to tell Max and Sebastian.Sebastian was asleep so I never got to tell him and Max said castles were cold dark places with dungeons and cellars and you shouldn't go in them unless you are hunting rats and mice. I thought he was being a bit silly but I just agreed with him to keep the peace.

I wanted to see Lucy's castle close up so I waited until night and went up the fence to have another look. Gosh it was big and really looked nice.Bluebelle was sitting in the corner of the garden and called to me

"Come on over Casper. We can curl up in there." pointing at the castle.

"Max said there might be mice and rats in the dungeons but I'm not afraid" I blazened to her.

She smiled her sweet little smile and beckoned me over. I jumped off the fence and decided to land straight in the castle. Mistake! I landed on a lovely soft floor - not like any dungeon floor I had seen - but then! I was hurled back into the air my legs and tail straight up. I came back down on the floor and immediately took off into space again. It was frightening but  quite enjoyable at the same time. I was going to shout out but I saw Bluebelle watching out of the corner of  my eye and I smiled at her as I made my third involuntary trip into space.

"You're good at that. Have you been on a bouncy castle before?" she asked seemingly impressed at my gymnastic display.

"Errr yes. Like the trampoline thing really. Come and join me" I was bluffing!

Bluebelle climbed the fence and jumped down just like i had and we were both soon bouncing up and down laughing with each other. It was so cool.

When I began to feel a bit sick I said we should stop and I went back home and told Max and Sebastian. They weren't impressed but later I saw Max creep out and climb up the fence. I bet he ahd a go at Lucy's castle too.
