Thank You Missi

Dear Missi,





Without you, I would not have written to Your Cat magazine and had the photograph published.





Without you I would not have written some poetry.





Without you for company when I have felt low I would not have got through them. You seem to sense when I am feeling ill at ease and come up on my knee for a cuddle.





You greet me each time I walk in through the door with a loud miaow even if you still have food in your bowl.





You have given me so much. All I can do is give you love and affection, feed you and clean up your mess.





Without you in our lives I don't know where we would have been. With you I am now fulfilling my dreams.





Half of this prize should be yours. Thank you so much Missi.



I love you.

What is this for?

What on earth have they bought me now?

What am I meant to do with this?

I know it is cold outside but this is a furry igloo.

Don't they realise cats are meant to lie on sofas, beds, blankets anywhere but in this thing?

I know it has a lovely warm cosy pad in the bottom of it as if that is meant to entice me into the thing.

I think not, especially when they are around.

We will see who wins this battle.

Miaow from Missi

Scared

I thought the television companies were to ensure that the volume on the advertisements was the same as it was during the programmes.

Unfortunately tonight this didn't happen and an advert using a kettle boiling made me jump out of my skin like the sound of a firework sizzing before it goes off.

Now I am hiding under a blanket by the settee not even a piece of ham will coax me out.

Mum is worried as when I get scared it takes a few hours to get me out of hiding.

At least I am snug and warm where I am at present.

Happy New Year to all from Missi.

Your Cat Magazine

Well she has done it.

My "mum" wrote a letter to Your Cat Magazine attaching a photo by email and it has been published today showing "Yours Truly" lying on my scratching post complete with toys.

It is worth doing these things as there may be some treats coming my way.

Best wishes

Missi

When is it going to end

For the last few weeks I have been hiding at night due to the fireworks going off. Tonight there are so many loud bangs I am in hiding again.

I wish people would be considerate and let my owners know that this is going to happen and they can look after me during this frightening time as I am completely confused as to what the noise is or why the bangs are so loud.

There is no point giving me a cuddle I don't understand my surroundings and everything seems different and weird.

I just wish for some consideration and the duration of time these bangs will go on.

I am now totally fed up as this has been happening for well over six weeks. How much more has my little heart got to endure.

I just want to play and purr.

Bangs and Flashes

Last night there were bangs and flashes going off at random intervals. Mum tried to find me, Dad went out and left the door open (WHOOPS). Mum shut it before I had a chance to escape.

They searched high and lo for me but couldn't find me. Mum was frantic calling me, I stayed in my hiding place. Once Dad returned Mum told him off about the door.

When they were looking for me in a different direction I slunk up the stairs. They followed me reassuring me all the time.

I then slunk downstairs stuck my nose in my food bowl and ate some food.

Another flash and bang, I shot under the sofa and refused to come out. Eventually peace came. The television was turned off and it was time for bed. Thought I could stay hidden under the sofa. Mum was having none of it.

Dad lifted the sofa up and mum picked me up reassuring me all the time. I nestled in her arms for a bit then hissed, to calm me Mum got my brush and started to brush me, I hissed and snarled, I was scared but wasn't going to do any harm. Mum realised this and kept brushing me. Eventually I crept into the bedroom and lay on the floor unsure of where the next bang was going to come from.

Mum told Dad to fetch my food bowl which had some ham torn into pieces in it. They put it in front of my nose, I sniffed but was unsure of what to expect. The ham aroma soon got me on my feet. At last I ate.

A loud purr emerged, mum was relieved. After I had eaten my fill. Dad took the bowl back downstairs. Mum stayed with me, stroking and reassuring me all the time, I jumped on the bed purring loudly. Mum started to look relieved.

I managed to sneak onto the bed in the night and stay sound asleep until 4.30 am I tried to beg for food but they were having none of it. I knew I would get fed later so sat on the bedroom windowsill looking out watching dawn break.

At least the bangs and flashes have gone for now.

Not my Day

I mewed to go out this morning. I really wish I hadn't as there was wet damp stuff in the air. I set foot outside determined to explore. Oh dear the wet damp stuff got all in my fur. I really don't like it, but I wanted fresh air.

A couple of minutes out in the cold in the damp was enough for me. I have decided I don't like the damp wet stuff dripping from the sky. Now I know when they say it is raining you won't like they are right. I am now sulking on the top of my scratching post trying to dry out. YUCK.

I think if I was to try and get on mum's knee it wouldn't be very comfortable and I would make her wet too. So I am going to sulk until I feel better. GRRR.

At least the house is warm and I am safe now.
