Unsettled

Mum has been busy rearranging the house so I have become a bit unsettled. It didn't help either that I had to put with two adult strangers and a 15 month old.

Mum worried about me and the baby. She needn't have done I behaved myself. I could have pulled on the travel cot mesh but was more interested in watching the small wriggling mass, who cried rather than talked.

"OW OW" he kept saying at me. I mewed back. He sat on the floor, I sat on the floor too wondering what he was going to do. I decided to clean myself as my head went up and down so did his. He was nodding so I just carried on nodding as I cleaned myself.

The visitors only stayed two days now the house seems empty. Where is the little one who made all the noise, where has he gone? I keep looking and mewing but he hasn't come back.

It was lovely having small company who got attention too. Each time the little one got attention I got some. Now he has gone.

At least I have more space. Mum has moved the rug but I know where it is and I put my claws in it still.

I have been around most of the furniture and rubbed my neck up and down it to ensure it smells familiar to me.

Today the house is very quiet so I am having a nap. If I am quiet mum will think I am upstairs but no I am sat right behind her.

I love company and knowing where everyone is. My usual vantage point is the top of the stairs that way I can see the postman arriving, any visitors, or if the fridge is going to be opened as I can see it all.

I am so lucky in my new home. I can do as I please.

I just wish mum would let me out late at night but I am only 3 years old so I suppose she is worried about me especially with the other cats around.

Mum spoilt my fun the other night I was trying to say hello to two cats. One was my previous encounter with the neighbour's cat, I was determined to get the better of. Mum intervened by gently patting my behind to which I turned and shouted at her.

As I turned around so fast little did I realise I ended up by the front door that was it, mum patted me again and in I went. Safe at last behind closed doors.

Now I plan to stay asleep on top of the sofa. Mum doesn't seem to mind. I can see out of the window too. So nothing is going to disturb me.

Mind the mess Missi

In the middle of painting Missi crept downstairs avoiding the open lids facing upwards to ensure her paws did not touch any paint.

After a while she decided to go back upstairs she had been on my lap on the sofa while I was having a coffee break. She leapt from the sofa to the bannisters wandered half way up the bannisters ensuring she was well past the protective sheet on the stairs to protect the carpet and then jumped off.

It just shows some cats can be clever.

Hopefully it won't be long before all the painting is done.

A month in my new home already

It is four weeks ago today when I was collected in my pet carrier from the RSPCA centre and what a month this has been. I have been really good and I think my new parents are proud and happy with me.

I have all the comforts I put possibly want plus my lovely new toy which I sleep on mostly. My favourite game is to lie across the stairs and see whether I can bop them with my paws.

My other favourite place to sleep is right across the bedroom doorway. Here I can see everything that is going on including the post arriving.

Today mum let me out for the first time since I arrived. I think she was more worried than I. I crept slowly to the front door then lifted my paws over the doorway and turned to the left where a lovely neighbour lives. I didn't stay out for long and ventured back in again.

This afternoon after the stair carpet had been fitted I begged to go out. I really wish I hadn't I came across a neighbour's cat. So I drew myself up as large as I could to intimidate her. She was submissive and I ventured forth to say hello. She mewed at me so I ventured closer. She took no notice so I turned my back to head home. That was a big mistake. She chased me to the front door along with her claws digging in my side. Luckily mum had left the door open for me and was waiting for my return. As soon as she saw the other cat she shooed her from the front door so I felt protected once more.

So I sat on the stairs licking my sides which are a little bit sore. Mum has tended to me very well. I have already been fed and now I am off to sleep in my favourite spot. The second layer of my new toy.

Boo

I can now see what you are all doing. So beware this cat has attitude and is aware of all that you are doing.

Quick I am going to make a phone call.

(I wonder who to?)

Well I have just been reading the newspaper and this is what I have done. I have spoken to the Editor.

(Well done says mum)

Looks like this cat is going to have a good career.

Its me Missi

My mum has gone off to bed. Bless her looking after me and doing all she can for various charities to ensure life is better for everyone else that follows her horrid journey and experiences.

Now she turns her attention to me and look what she has achieved so far. You can slowly see me appearing through the tapestry. Watch out I am going to get you with my long teeth and claws. I am not really nasty I just love playing but not too sure how far I need to retract my claws into my paws.

She adores me and I know that but I really play her up at 2am in the morning when I play for at least half an hour. This is the reason I have my lovely large new toy. I know I destroyed my old scratching post by pulling off the rope. Mum forgave me and bought me another to suit my needs much better.

I love my new home and my "parents" they are good to me.

It is a shame I am so fussy but my name is Missi!!!

Anyway I am off now to sharpen my claws so that I can get my little pesky mouse which keeps hiding in its little hidey hole. I think it must be on elastic because one twang as I let go back it goes into its hole.

Anyway must paw off now in case she catches me on the laptop lets hope I don't do what her previous cats did which was erase one law assignment except for two words. I think they got away with it as she had a back up of it in handwritten form.
