Dear Diary,
Mommy is busy cleaning the kitchen, so I snuck onto her iPad so I can update what’s been happening. I’m doing great. The sickies are all gone finally. I’ve been playing with my sister and all the little mice in my toy box. And mommy says she’s happy to hear me purring again.
I think I gave my germs to mommy because she’s the one who is coughing a lot now. But she tells me it is only allergies.
I’m still sticking close to mommy. I like to take my naps on the sofa next to her. My sister, Fergie, sneaks up sometimes and then mommy has to be at the far end of the sofa to make room for both of us. Fergie sleeps stretched out, but I like to curl up and put my head on the pillow.
Fergie and I both like the window bed above mommy’s desk. It’s big enough that both of us can sleep there, but Fergie won’t share with me. I try.
I’d like to play wrestle with her, but she always runs under the futon. So then we play slap at each other. I’m always gentle and never open my claws but she always bites at me. Mommy says that’s because her previous mommy had all her claws removed, even from her back feet. I can’t imagine having such a thing done. But I’m always gentle with her.
Last week a lady came to visit mommy and she brought her baby. Oh, how I loved that baby. The little ones are my favorites. When she started to cry before they left, I wanted to help. I didn’t get too close, but I was concerned and watched to make sure the lady didn’t hurt her. I hope they come back again.
A couple days ago, I was sitting in front of the storm door watching a lady walk her dog. When she saw me, she stopped and took a picture of me. I’m so handsome nobody can resist loving me. Mommy says I’m conceited. I don’t know what the word means, but I’m sure it means I’m very special.
Well, gotta go. I have things to do and toys to play with.
Love, Finnegan
