Coming out of hiding

I asked Mummy if I could write in my diary, because everybody gets to write in their diaries except me, and it's not fair! Although I must admit not much happens to me except constantly getting chased by the Alphacat Orkney and the 2IC bully Zephyr. Zephyr scared me so badly the other day I hissed myself into an attack of wheezing, but most of the time she leaves me alone now and I am free to roll around the bed next to Mummy's head. I love to lie on my back with my hind legs up and dare Mummy to pat my tummy for longer than two seconds. And she loves to push down on my legs and I push back to see who can push the hardest before it all degenerates into kangaroo kicks. In fact, I am the most playful of all of us, and the most talkative. Zephyr says I make stupid noises, but it's better than the feeble little squeaks she utters, and only if she sees food does she say anything, which figures.

Clash of the Titans

As you may know, Orkney and Zephyr like to pick on me. I was minding my own business last night when they both decided to give me some stick simultaneously. Naturally I hissed my head off and dashed into the nearest hiding place. Thwarted of their fun, the two bullies decided to assault one another. Boy, you should have heard the screaming (teeheehee). Mummy chucked them both outside to cool off (double teehehee!). I lost a bit of fur at the start of the melee but it was worth it to see them get each other into trouble. MOL, MOL, snicker snicker.

A Hollow Victory?

After having the Funky Hollow in our home for over 2 years, I have finally been brave enough to climb on it! It's great because I can see the other cats coming and get ready to make a dash for it. I love it! Hooray for me! Mummy has posted a couple of pics of me on it. Like most pics of me, they're pretty average. Mummy says this is because I am so dark and I only come out when the light is dim. Whenever I can I tend to lie on dark things so I'm camouflaged, which really doesn't help. Of course, one day she may actually work out how to use her new digital camera and put some DECENT photos on. MOL!

Tagged!

Our dear friend Puddles from Texas has tagged all of us, even me! So I get to have a diary of my very own and tell 5 things about me.

1. I'm not related to the other four cats in the house.
2. I am the most timid of all of us, but surprisingly the most playful and vocal (expecially at 3 am).
3. Mummy looked at every single adult cat at the RSPCA before she saw me hiding in my cardboard box. My previous owners had been evicted from their house and had to surrender me.
4. My fur is black at the tip and arctic white underneath.
5. No-one can pick me up without being shredded, not even Mummy.

Now I am passing on to Orkney to tag 5 more kitties for us.
