Haiku

Dan person wrote some Japanese poems all about me, they are called haikus.

In the morning sun
She sits grooming her dark fur
Beautiful Scratchy

My little shadow
Puss of black fur and whiskers
I love her dearly

Yuuuummmm!

I've discovered a great new food. POPCORN! Recently, I've been having a great variety of vegan foods in addition to my usual feline fare. I love baked beans on tast - that's my favourite, and Veganpet cat food - I got a whole big bag for Dan's birthday and last night I discovered yummy, warm, crispy, salty popcorn. Dan recently has been doing lots of baking and cooking and buyng of treats. To tell you the truth, I'm a little worried about her, are humans meant to eat that much? - and she thinks I'M getting fat. You see that black and white drawing of me? Roni-person made it, she's a special visitor-friend. When Dan went to Melbourne, Roni moved in and I watched over her and looked after her until Dan came back. Anyway, Roni thinks I'm getting fat, that's why she drew such an unflattering picture of me, but I know not to take it personally, she's just jealous cos she doesnt have a winter coat like mine! Just below Ronis drawing is a lovely picture of me wearing my winter coat. I didn't know the photo was being taken, so I didn't have time to do my fur nicely and consequently look a bit messy, but certainly not FAT!

Helping to Help

While my human is away at work , I have been SO busy! I'm helping her to settle into her new home.

We moved into a new house. Dan-person must have chosen it especially for me because it has a huge sunny balcony where I can roll around. It also has lots of dark places for hiding from humans, and lots of thouroughfares and entrance-ways for sprawling across and getting in the way. In fact, the place has so many hidey-holes, I'm a little worried Dan-person might forget I am here, so I am busy grooming out as much of my fur as I can and leaving tufts about the place for her to find, you know, just to remind her I am here. I know she must love it when I do this because she has a special machine called a vacuum to gather it all up. She must be collecting it and storing it away somewhere, probably 'cos she doesn't have her own fur. You know, I am busy leaving cat furs anywhere I can reach!

I'm helping in other ways too. Dan-person has some great furniture, so I am helping out with some minor upholstery adjustments and detailing, just to add texture and definition. It must be so hard for her to do without the benefit of claws, so I don't mind helping out.

Anyway, she will be home soon, and I still have lots to do. There are some boxes stacked in the corner, filled with newspaper...I wonder if they need unpacking!

Friends

I've made friends with some lovely catster kittys! This makes me feel very special because I've just moved into a new neighbourhood where the cats are not so friendly. So I am very pleased to introduce my new catster friends, Riley [he's my real-life feline cousin] and Molly, Mitzi, Holly and Charlie and also Luna Daisy. I wonder if they'd be interested in staring in a sit-com with me? We could call it 'buddies' or 'mates' or something like that!!
