Finnegan Gets a New Tunnel (Finnegan’s Diary)

I’m so glad it is Wednesday and I’m able to tell you about my week. But first something new is coming. Mommy and I both like to type our words on this iPad, but it does sit kind of low and my face is right up against it as you can see. So mommy ordered a stand that will raise it a little higher. She says it is coming today. So, this one last time, I’ll work up my diary post to share from this position.

Okay, last week mommy did something that makes my sleepy time so comfy. My favorite window bed was becoming uncomfortable because my legs would hang off the edge and sometimes when I changed positions, I’d fall off. I let her think I did it on purpose, but I don’t think she believed it. Anyway, she moved the bolster from the window side and put it on the outside. I don’t know how she did it, but it’s wonderful. She also took the little yellow flannel blanket Cat Welfare sent home with me and rolled it up like a bolster and put it on the window ledge behind the bed. Now I can curl up inside and it is warm and cozy. My mommy is the best!

So one morning last week while I was snoozing and mommy was working, there was a big, bright strike of lightning followed by a loud crash of thunder! It made me look to see what was happening. I could tell mommy didn’t like it. She said it was time to go in the other room. She turned off the computers and the light, but I just yawned and went back to sleep. The storm didn’t bother me because I know inside my home nothing can hurt me if my mommy is here. After the storm ended she petted me, kissed me and told me I was a very brave boy. I guess I am.

Maybe that impressed her because when she left to run errands she brought me home a new tunnel! Now I have two!! This one is different. It has three openings. I decided to try rolling in it and it got stuck against my other tunnel. Took a few seconds, but I figured out how to roll the other way. Tunnels are so much fun!

I have so much fun with all my toys and tunnels and especially when mommy gets the feather thing and I have to jump to reach it. I can play with mommy like that for a long time and then I need to rest. I kind of think she does, too. She often says, “Finnegan, you wore me out.” I think that means she needs to rest.

I have fun when mommy looks for me. I have such cool places to hide. My favorite is behind the jungle tree. She walks past me and starts looking in the bedroom, then in my cat tree cave, and she even peeks into the bathroom to see if I’m in the litter. Tee hee! And then I jump out! She always laughs. I like it when mommy laughs.

I can’t think of anything else I need to tell you, so I’d better let mommy take over this keyboard. She’s faster than me on the keys. Do you know she doesn’t even need to look at them! My mommy is smart, just like me. See you next Wednesday! Bye!
