Just We Two - What Next?

I have been sleeping and napping a lot.  Both Mina and I now spend a lot of time on Mom and Dad’s bed.  Mr. Purr and Millie almost never come into that room, so we are pretty safe there.

Mr. Purr keeps playing boss, and he and I get into some big fights.  Mina is terrified of him, so tries to stay out of his way.  She tries to boss Millie around, and so do I.  Things are beginning to calm down a little now, and sometimes Millie even teases us somewhat, so that we will come after her.  Toys are appearing for Mina to play with, and that makes her happy.  She also watches the birds from the windows.  There are a lot of windows here, and they are easy to get to.  Lots of birds and other things to see and hear.

Sometimes I sleep in the tower that we brought from home.  It makes me feel a little safe.  In the evening, sometimes I will lie on the couch beside Mom or Dad.  The others will never bother me there.  Ha!  Both Mom and Dad are bigger than Mr. Purr, so he won’t try to fight with them.  I miss home.

Will we ever see home again?  I am beginning to think that we will never be there again, but maybe we will have a new home.  Are we there now?  Probably not.  Dad keeps talking about going to live in a turkey.  What?  Why does turkey play such a large part in our lives?  We eat turkey at Thanksgiving, and I suspect that humans come from turkeys, as I have mentioned previously, but now we are all going to live in one?  This is very puzzling to me.  I have talked to Mina about it, and she is even more confused than I am.  Dad talks about flying into the turkey, but none of us has wings.  Also, are there different sized turkeys?  The one we eat at Thanksgiving isn’t big enough for even just me to get into.  Now we are all going to live in one?  This is going to take a lot of thought on my part.  Mina, too.  Will it be cold in this turkey?  Will it be hot in this turkey?  Can we eat it if we get hungry?  Very strange!  Life appears to be full of surprises and little lessons to be learned.

In the meantime, we need to survive living with these other cats.  Millie is pretty docile and tries to stay out of our way.  Mina insists on going after Millie, and then Mom has to yell at her.  I guess Mina just wants to be the boss of somebody.  I keep telling her to just forget about it and get along, but she doesn’t listen very well.  Breakfast and supper are getting easier.  They give Mr. Purr some of the wet food and move his dish a little way from ours, and Mina’s is moved away, too.  Millie usually doesn’t partake of meals with the rest of us, preferring to just snack throughout the day, or when no one else is there.  She misses out on the wet food most of the time, but I don’t think she really minds very much.  If she is there when it is served, then she gets some.  If not, she doesn’t get any.

Mom has not been making food for us for a long time.  That’s another thing that makes me think we are not yet in our new home.  I miss that food.  It was very delicious!  Maybe someday she will make it again, and we will all be happy together again.  In a turkey???  Lots to think about!

I guess I will take a nap now so that I can think.  I do my best thinking while I am napping.

Yours,
