I thought I would send you a little diary of my time so
far in my new home with my new Mummy and Daddy. I’m still trying to settle in
and there are lots of new spaces and noises to get used to. Mummy and Daddy
have been very good with me and even let me sleep on their bed – although I do
like to have a play in the middle of the night, which makes Mummy and Daddy
look like zombies in the morning!
I will write as often as I can but for now, here is a
diary of my first week as a home cat.
Day 1 – My new Mummy and Daddy came to pick me up and
brought me a nice new fluffy blanket and some biscuits. The drive home was very
scary and I had a little accident before I even left the street. I then had
another wee accident when we passed a big scary lorry on the motorway. Mummy
was very good and tried to clean me up but I had another 2 accidents before I
got home and my fur was soaking wet with wee L.
When I got to my new house, the door to my carry box was opened and I was
allowed to roam downstairs. I managed to get wee all over the new floors and it
took Mummy ages to get rid of the smell. I found where my litter tray and
food/water were but was too scared to eat or drink. Daddy tried to clean my wet
fur with a soft cloth and he really helped me out. It took me a while to
finally get my lovely fur all nice and clean again. Once I was okay downstairs,
I was allowed to roam upstairs. I became a little frightened and didn’t want to
go downstairs again. Mummy and Daddy stayed with me for a long time and talked
to me. I was very scared of all the unusual noises and smells. I didn’t eat all
night and could tell Mummy was worried. I was just too scared to eat. Went to
sleep on the top landing but I wasn’t very settled.
Day 2 – Kept Mummy and Daddy up until 2.30am this morning.
I kept calling them to make sure they were still there. I was scared they would
leave me, but they didn’t. I went downstairs while Mummy and Daddy had
breakfast but I didn’t want to eat again. I had a drink of water and used my
litter tray but that was it. I went back upstairs to my safe haven at the top
of the landing. Daddy had to work all day so it was just me and Mummy. She
stayed with me again and gave me lots of cuddles. I ventured into a new room
today and was startled when something made a loud noise. I hid under Mummy and
Daddy’s bed and didn’t come out. Mummy and Daddy had to lift the mattress off
the bed to try and get me out. I eventually came out but I was still scared. I
had my food brought up to me and ate a little bit. I’m still not sure of my
surroundings and will only eat if Mummy and Daddy are with me. They have been
very kind and have given me lots of treats and cuddles. Tonight I stayed
upstairs and didn’t go downstairs until Mummy and Daddy were asleep.
Day 3 – I think I’m in the bad books. I was up playing
until 4.30am this morning and scratched the banister when I tried to jump up
onto it. Mummy and Daddy tried me with new food today and I ate a lot more than
the last two days. I even ate downstairs! Mummy and Daddy registered me with
the vets today and I think they have bought me worming and flea treatments. I
have heard Daddy talking about this to Mummy. I also have little furballs and
have been trying to cough them up. Mummy and Daddy are going to get me medicine
for it. Ventured downstairs a bit more today as I have been feeling brave but
two scary men came to the house to deliver the washing machine and scared me. I
hid under the bed again! Mummy managed to get me out though and I am back
downstairs. Fell asleep on the bedroom floor tonight.
Day 4 - I have been a very good boy and have been going
downstairs a lot more now. I am getting to be a brave boy and have been sitting
on the window sills watching the goings on outside. I will get out there to
explore soon J I
was up again during the night and played for hours. Mummy and Daddy had to get
up a few times as I was dragging myself along the carpet with my claws. Oooops!
Mummy and Daddy are very tired but they love me so I get away with anything J They went out for a
few hours today and I missed them lots. They came back with a huge bag of
goodies for me and lots of yummy food. I am now much more content and even sat
with Mummy on her bed while she worked. I love my new home. There is a new
diffuser in the hallway that is meant to calm me down. I think it is working as
I feel a lot calmer and big noises aren’t so scary any more.
Day 5 – Oooops, I decided to play again last night. I
think bags are appearing under Mummy and Daddy’s eyes but every morning they
get up, bleary eyed, and give me huge cuddles. I think they love me J Daddy is working today
and Mummy had to go out to buy Daddy some Lego but she is home now and I
haven’t left her side. She is working on her science papers and I am right
there with her keeping her company and helping her if she gets stuck. I think I
should’ve been called Einstein! There is lots of noise today as everyone is
having BBQs outside. There are kids shouting, music playing and dogs barking
but nothing is really bothering me today. I am just lazing beside Mummy waiting
on Daddy getting home from work. My eye was starting to look a little sore
yesterday but it looks back to normal today. Something must have irritated it
yesterday. Mummy is also very happy as I have eaten all my breakfast today. I
think she was starting to worry that I wasn’t eating enough but I am ok. Mummy
and Daddy have been playing with me lots and lots and I am having so much fun.
I really enjoy my little catnip mouse and the bird on a string. I am also
getting lots of treats including cold meat, whiskas treats and dreamies. I am
truly being spoiled.
Day 6 – I was up to my old tricks again last night but I
did let Mummy and Daddy sleep until 3am this time. I think that’s a treat for
them. I think I gave Mummy a fright this morning. She came downstairs to feed
me my breakfast and she couldn’t find me. I had managed to climb on top of the
kitchen cabinets and was playing hide and seek. I came down right away when
Mummy called me down though. I have had a bit of an upset tummy and so Mummy
and Daddy will keep an eye on me. I am eating and drinking lots though so I
think it’s just a little bit of an unsettled tummy. Mummy left me this morning
to have a shower and when she came out I made sure her legs were nice and dry.
My Granny and Grandad came to visit me today and I gave them lots of cuddles. I
really like them too. They brought me lots of food and my cupboard is full of
treats and toys. I am now really comfortable with my new home and loud noises
aren’t bothering me anymore. Even Mummies hairdryer doesn’t bother me. I am spending most of my days lying on my
back, with my fluffy belly on show, right on top of Mummy and Daddy’s bed. I am
having lots of fun and look forward to every day. Mummy is back to work
tomorrow so it’s just me and Daddy to cause mischief. Daddy is playing with me
to try and tire me out in the hope I sleep tonight – I may let them lie a
little longer than 3am J
Day 7 – Well I have been in my furever home for a week
now and I am totally settled in already. My Mummy had to go back to work today
and she was away for most of the day. I really missed her and kept looking out
the window to see if she was coming home. She eventually came home though and I
was so happy to see her that I wouldn’t let her even take her shoes off before
I was jumping all over her. Even though I missed my Mummy, I had a brilliant
day with my Daddy. He played with me lots and gave me hundreds of cuddles. I am
really happy here J
