So that was Christmas!

Well, so that was Christmas! It lived up to expectations, I must say. There was lots of food and lots of paper. I liked the paper a lot. There were toys wrapped in it. Some came from our friend Chloe, a lilac burmese who lives in Florida. I think her mum Suzanne sent them to us 'cos Chloe can't reach the postbox. We sent some toys to her too but mum had to get them at a show and she was late for Christmas - sorry Chloe! There was a green furry mouse with a bell on the end of its tail. I like carrying that around. Pickle likes the soft furry ball but it doesn't do much - perfect for him now he's getting old LOL! The rest of the gang left most of the unwrapping to me - I think they did that 'cos they haven't got the energy like I have.



Mummy Gill went to her mum and dad for the day so we were on our own but we had the Christmas tree to play with and there're a few balls on it which I managed to knock down so I had something to play with. Mum was a bit cross but I think she forgave me because when she'd picked them up she gave us all our pressies. And food of course! We had mum's parents to visit on Boxing Day and there was lots of nice food to eat... I ate ham for the first time, and pork. Mum made a chocolate cake but I didn't like that. Funny, 'cos I like butter a lot....


On Saturday I was running around with mummy Sassy and chasing her all over the house. She rushed out through the cat flap and I was going so fast after her I just went straight out too. I was really scary to start with because all of a sudden I went from somewhere really warm to somewhere really cold. The ground was hard and there were bits of green waving around. Sassy ran straight along a closed-in tunnel but I could still see out through the sides. I went a bit more slowly 'cos I wasn't sure about this new stuff. Then I came to a really bright area which was a bit warmer so I sat there for a bit. Mum said I was sitting in the sun. I liked the sun. She came into the garden and watched me. She said that she needed to make sure I was safe and couldn't get out. Further down the tunnel it opened into a big area, lots of green stuff called grass, and things to climb and ledges to sit on. I loved it! I ran all round and jumped on the ledges and chewed some of the grass but I didn't like that much so I spat it out again. My feet and ears got really cold after a while so I went back up the tunnel and indoors again. Mum cuddled me a lot and warmed my toes. But now I know what outside is like, I go there all the time. I don't like it when it's dark so I just go out in the day time. I can get so much closer to the birds and they don't see me 'cos I hide behind the grass and watch them. But I can't catch them - when I try I just bump into the wire that keeps them the other side. I like being outside! And there's loads of space for me to run and jump and climb.
Apparently it's something called New Year soon. I wonder what that will be like? Hope all my brothers and sisters have had as much fun for Christmas as I did and that they will have a good New Year too. (I think that's something the humans say.)
