Life has been so unpredictable and busy I haven’t had a chance to fill you in on what’s been happening. Peyton told you that Mandy and Sam brought the tiniest person I’ve ever seen into our home. I tried hard to protect her when she would kick me from Mandy’s tummy, but now I’m not so sure what I think. She is noisy, and takes all of Mandy’s time. Peyton has become rather protective of the tiny person and Mandy, but I tend to stay as far away as possible.
Last week, Mandy was really sick. She slept on the couch and Sam had to help her out. I’ve never seen Mandy so sick, but thankfully she is doing better now. I did come out and sleep with Mandy, snuggling her to keep her warm. It was all I could do to help Mandy feel better.
This weekend, Opa and Elly were here. They’ve been here before, and I don’t think Opa cares for cats much, so he leaves us alone. Elly is concerned that I’d bother her yarn, but I’ve never really played with yarn, so I don’t think I’d bother hers. They do offer us bites of food, so that is nice.
After Opa and Elly left, I did some deep soul searching. I came to a decision that was hard for me to make, but one I felt that needed to be made. I decided to look for a new home. No one ever plays with me, and Mandy and Sam are always busy with that tiny person. So I decided to make a break for it by breaking through the screen by the big tub one afternoon when Mandy left the windows open for us. Peyton stayed behind, claiming that Mandy and Sam do play with us and care for us. Peyton said I was being crazy by not counting my blessings, but I thought maybe I could fend for myself. I played in the brush behind the house, and went on a big adventure. I will never admit how far I wandered, or if I wandered from home at all, but I was free! Mandy came out back looking for me a few times, but I stayed hidden away so she couldn’t see me. Peyton told her I was hidden in the closet where I normally sleep. When Sam came home from work, he went out back, and I hid from him and I watched him water the tiny tree Opa bought for the tiny person.
After a while, it got dark and I started to get hungry. Being free wasn’t all it was suppose to be. Sam started looking for me and I came running! I guess I don’t want to fend for myself after all. Some attention is better than living out in the wild. I guess I will just have to accept that tiny person no matter what it means to my play time with Mandy. I will just have to count my blessings. Mandy does look for me, and she love me. She even plays with me at times and gives me treats. Both Sam and Mandy feed us, and my box is cleaned daily. I even play with the toys Mandy leaves out for me. At night when she feeds that tiny person I can sit with her and attempt to keep her awake. I can also keep her spot warm so when she comes back to bed it’s warm for her. Mandy always loves me when I come out to see her even if she is holding that tiny person. So, I guess I do have a lot to be thankful for, and have decided not to run away again—tiny person or no.
Well, it was cold today so Mandy did not open the windows for us. Sam has closed up the hole I made in the screen, but I have no interest in breaking free. Life is comfortable here, and I rather enjoy my warm bed.
