Just We Two - Are Things Getting Better?


Naps are my life right now.  That’s about all we can do, since we are stuck in two rooms.

               I must say, though, that things are getting better.  Even though we have just two rooms, the food is good – Dad cooked it, and the closet is comfortable.  Mom complains about fur on the suitcases, but why is that a problem?  Anyway, both Mina and I are feeling better about everything.  Even the litter is good.  It does not smell at all like the stuff we had at home.  It doesn’t smell at all, so I never feel bad about stepping in it.  There are no lumps or anything to get in the way.

               I have been feeling a lot better recently.  My legs do not hurt so much.  Mom says she is putting something in my food to help.  I guess it is working.  She put stuff in the food at home, but it did not work as well.  Dad said he paid a lot for it, so he is very glad it is working so well.

               There are other cats around.  We can smell them and sometimes hear them outside the windows.  A little while ago, Mina and I were allowed out of our rooms, and we explored.  Mom said we could go outside in the garden, but we didn’t feel very secure about that.  It was a hot day, so I went down into the basement.  It was very dark and cool there, and I could smell the other cats, but they weren’t there when I went down.  I stayed down for a while, and Mom was really mad when I came up.  She said I was very, very dirty and she made me take a shower.  Oh, how I hated that.  After the shower, she said I was still very dirty.  I don’t like her saying that.  I take great pride in my appearance.  She still says it, but also says that I am getting cleaner.

               Mina was gone all day and into the darkness.  Mom and Dad were calling for her all over.  They were afraid that she had panicked and run far away and was unable to find her way back.  Personally, I think it would be good riddance!  Anyway, they all were sitting at the table out front, on what Mom calls the front porch when evidently Mina showed her face.  Instead of the basement, she had spent all day in the attic.  It was dirty up there, too, but she didn’t have to take a shower.  Mom said she was dirty, but not as bad as I was.  I’ll bet!  The little sneak!  Because of the basement and the attic, we are no longer allowed out of our rooms, and we really don’t want to go out.  Too much happens then.

Mom tried to take me outside one day, but I got away and went up to the attic and got dusty.  She chased me out and down the stairs.  After that, the door was accidently left open, and Mina ran up to the attic.  Dad was angry, but he got her down pretty soon.  At least it’s quiet in our rooms and nothing bad happens.  We also haven’t been in the car for a long time, so that’s a good thing.

               Mina is feeling a lot better now.  She is eating more (actually, quite a lot), and she has been playing at night.  Last night, I did a little playing and explored up in the cupboard in Mom’s room.  She heard me jiggle the glass things and woke up.  She was blaming Mina until she turned on the light and saw that it was me.  I’m so glad I feel better.  It’s very possible that now I can do stuff and Mina will be blamed.  That sounds like fun!

               One thing that we don’t like here is the vacuum cleaner.  I thought the one at home was bad, but this one is very big and very loud.  I hate it when Mom or Dad uses it.  Mom says we keep getting fur and stuff on the rugs.  That’s it, blame us!  She gets stuff on the rug, too.  We aren’t the only ones.

               Today, I threw up on one of the rugs.  Just a little bit on the rug and a lot on the cardboard under our food dishes.  Dad cleaned it up.  He is very nice and does a lot of things for Mom, and she really appreciates it.

               Well, it’s still daylight, time for another nap.  I wouldn’t want to waste the daylight.  I also must get ready for the night!

Yours,

Apache
