It's nearly Christmas!


It's been a busy time since I last wrote. Mum went away for a few days and we had a nice man come in twice a day to look after us. Iwasn't very naughty because I didn't think it was fair on him. He stayed with us a bit each time and played with me.

Last weekend I went to a Show. I wasn't allowed to say before because apparently it's supposed to be a secret, in case any of the Judges read my blog and know it's me. Suki went too. She told me all about it. I had to sit in a pen all day and lots of people kept looking at me and saying how cute I was. I was very good and slept a lot. Actually it was all a bit boring. Mum put a litter tray in for me but there was no way I was going to use it in front of all those people.

Anyway, I got a big Red Rosette which had First Open on it. Mum was very pleased and she took me out of the pen and gave me lots of cuddles. I got some smaller rosettes too - another red one and a blue one and a couple of yellow ones. All the judges were nice - at first I thought they were the vet again 'cos they all wore white coats, but they just cuddled me and held me up in the air so I could see all round the hall. (Actually my vet wears a blue or green coat!) There were loads of other cats - some weren't as good as me though. Suki got lots of posh rosettes but she's older than me and been doing shows a long time. She got something called an Imperial and a Best of Breed. I didn't get those but mum said I was the best kitten even if the judges didn't realise it.

Then on Sunday mum put a tree up in the lounge! It looks just like the ones outside. I thought about climbing it but mum wasn't very pleased when I chewed the branches so I thought maybe she'd be even more cross if I climbed up. Maybe I'll do that when she's not at home. Later on she put lots of sparkly lights and glittery string and dangly things all over it. It's so clearly designed for me to play with that I don't understand why she gets cross if I try to bat the dangly things across the room. She says it's for Christmas. I think I'm going to like Christmas. Mum's been getting boxes out and wrapping them in paper. The others tell me that the paper all comes off again and they get to play with it. Sometimes they get to tear the paper off and keep the thing inside. I wonder if I'll get to do that? Apparently Christmas isn't too many days away now. I'm getting so excited! Maybe I'll celebrate by going outside!

Hope all my bothers and sisters are having fun Christmasses in their houses too. Lots of purrs to them all!
