Day 70

Good afternoon everyone.

I’m a bit cross today. They keep calling me “Simma”.  It may be better than “Simbo” but my name is SimBA”.  I would like to be called Simba.

Oh rattail! That doesn’t bode well for the rest of the day, does it? Personally, I call him the White Delight.

Rattail?  That’s different. No I’m not in a good mood today.  The wrong treats were bought for us.  We like Lily’s Kitchen but didn’t realise Lily cooked for Dogs as well. That’s a big mistake on her part.  I shiver when I think I might have eaten one.

You didn’t though, did you? They were given away unopened. And you have eaten dog food before and it didn’t kill you. They are carnivores so it may taste disgusting but it is meat (probably).

I don’t suppose there is an actual Lily who cooks in her kitchen.

Why not?  I thought Lily was rather nice, like her food. Well, you’ll have to tell Waitrose then.

What would I have to tell Waitrose?

We identify as FelinesAnyone who looks at us and thinks we’re canines is as mad as a cornered vole!

Love Leo and Simba x

Day 69

Hello Everyone.

I’m worried. very worried!

Yes. What’s new?

There are BIG holes in our garden

Yes, that is new.

They are being made by aliens aren’t they?

Oh my giddy paw!  My day, as always is getting worse, and it’s only just started. Aliens do not exist.

They do! You said so. You told me Johnathan de Freitas was an alien – you remember him, he used to come into our previous garden?

Of course I remember Jonathan de Freitas. He is an oddly named cat, not an alien. I meant he was alien to our garden. He should not have been there.

Like Maud, you mean

NO. NOT like Maud. I gave Maud permission to enter.  Don’t be inflammatory. As a White Delight you don’t always delight me. We will have to find out why those holes are there and what is making them.

Actually they’re not much use are they? They are much too big to use. You could fall in.

No one. Absolutely no one wants to know about your hole using habits.

Well I do. I’m very fastidious. It’s the only way I can keep myself so white. Anyway, how are we going to find out what is making those holes?

You’re going to have to get your paws dirty, fastidious or not! The only way to find out what is happening in our garden is to sit and watch. You are good at that.

Oh. I might get cold

You’ve got a fur coat. I’d better go with you to make sure you really go.

This is what he does, you know.  I go out. He ventures to the door, making sure it can’t be closed and goes back in again, leaving me outside.

It’s the only way I can make sure he really goes out.

Problem solved. They’re putting up new scratching posts for us – much better than the ones we have already.

Love, Leo and Simba xxxx
