I can’t seem to nap very well, but I
did sleep last night. I’m tired though,
and a little scared.
Well, it actually does exist! We came to the new place to live yesterday. I’m still a little afraid of it and its
strange noises and lots of human voices, but Mom says I will get used to it. Dad’s mother comes here during the day, and I
don’t like that, but at least we can get away from her and hide. Mom fed us before she left, but she was here
for quite a while after she fed us and then I was very hungry. They came this morning, but it was pretty
late, and I was half starved. Mina always
has her dry food in the dish, so she almost never gets hungry.
Mom and Dad found us in the basement
this morning. It is cooler down there,
but they were upset because our paws were so dirty. Why all this concern over dirty paws? I will get them clean. Why isn’t the basement clean, anyway? I don’t get it. My paws would stay very clean if the basement
was clean. However, they say they don’t
want us in the basement. I don’t know
why. It’s a very interesting place. There are lots of things down there that
smell very familiar, lots of boxes with stuff in them. They smell like Mom, so I like it there. Mom comes down to the basement and does stuff
with the things in the boxes. I like it
that she is there, as it is very comforting.
Besides Mom, Dad, and Dad’s mother,
there is another person here. I think
Mom and Dad said that he is Dad’s nephew.
He seems okay, but I’m just not sure yet. Mom gets upset because I hiss at her, but all
this is just so new and frightening. Mom
says that later on Dad, Mina, and I will fly back home. There is that silly delusion about flying! We still have no wings! Very strange ideas that humans get into their
heads!
Dad took me upstairs to eat
breakfast, but I didn’t feel all that hungry.
I ate a little and then went back to the basement. I saw Dad’s mother on the way down, and I
almost turned around to go back up.
However, she just stayed on the couch and didn’t wave any cloth at me,
so I eventually continued on down to the basement. There is a door to go outside on the way
down, but I don’t think I want to go out.
We heard dogs last night, and I think they are always right outside the
door.
We found the litter box. Of course, yesterday Mom let us out of the
carrier right by it, so it wasn’t too hard to find. It’s good to have all the comforts of home; I
just wish we were really home. Mom says
we will go home – I can hardly wait!
Where we are living now is called Office. That seems odd to me, because in the house
called Phoenix, we had a room called Office.
Mom kept her computer and stuff in that room. There is a computer here, but other rooms,
too. It’s confusing. In one room, there is a big couch and a
closet thing, but not much else other than bags and boxes. When we go upstairs from there, there is a
sort of bathroom. Mina says that she
thinks she could use that instead of going down to the litter box, but I don’t
know. There is a big hole in the floor
and I could slip. Lots of water in that
room, too. The room where I hide is sort
of like part of a kitchen. There is what
looks like a counter top, a funny round sink, and some cabinets. Then there is another room where there is a
refrigerator and some cabinets. There
are some windows in that room, but they are up high. Mina will be able to get up there, but I
don’t think I will be able to. There is
also a window in the couch room. That
one I can see out of. The door
downstairs from there was covered from the outside, so we couldn’t see out at
all. This is a pretty strange place.
In the big couch room, there is
something that looks like a chair lying on its back. I’m not sure why it would be like that. It’s much easier to sit on when it is
standing up. I don’t think that Mina and
I can set it up, so we will have to wait and see if Dad or Mom will do it. I think it would be nice to lie on.
Well, Mina is back behind the
cabinets in the part-kitchen room. She
can get out on her own, so no one is worried about her. I’m sure I couldn’t even get down into that
space, let alone get out, so I’m not even going to try. Lying in the cabinet is good enough for me.
I think it is time to take a
nap. I got tired eating and coming back
down to the basement, so I need this nap.
Yours,
Apache
