Goodbye (& good riddance) little friend ...

Well ... human got rid of my new little friend.

I'm not really sure what to think about it all.  When I brought him home, I was looking forward to having a little friend to play with, but then when human gave him my kitchen to live in, I wasn't so happy any more.  So really, I was quite pleased when he did eventually move out ... although it took a while to get rid of him.  He obviously liked living with my human almost as much as I do. 

I'm glad my human didn't prefer living with him to me though.  I don't know what I'd have done if she'd evicted me.

She ended up buying him two little homes because he didn't like the first one ... two nights my human gave him almond butter in it, which he ate, but then chose not to stay in his little home. 




I don't blame him really.

It's not very big is it?

And it doesn't even have windows.




So she then bought him a bigger home, which was made of windows.






And clever though my little friend was, he seemed to get a bit confused about this new home.  He could obviously see and smell the almond butter my human put in it for him to make him feel welcome. but he was too stupid to work out how to get in the front door.


And look, the stupid little thing ate a hole in the plastic back door trying to get in.  He obviously got tired thought & gave up!







Bless my human though, because she realised he'd obviously been confused & so she put a little trail of almond butter leading him into the front door, to show him the way in next time.

And this time, he did it.  He went in through the front door.  And he was waiting in there for my human one morning when she got up.

It was odd though, because although she seemed really pleased that he'd found his way in, she also seemed a little bit anxious.

I think, because she is so kind and lovely, that she felt a little bit bad about not letting him live in our kitchen all of the time.  

But he just couldn't have stayed there.  Me & my human couldn't go in there very much, & as I've already told you (in my previous entry), he'd even demanded my food, water & litter tray be removed.  

When I took him home, I didn't realise how demanding he would be & that he would have the power to evict me & my human.  That really wasn't part of my plan.




So I was pleased to see my human carefully & gently pick him up in his little home & take him away.  See again, how lovely she is?  Even though he'd caused so much disruption in our house, she didn't want to hurt him.  

She was away quite a while, so I think she must have taken him a very long way away. I guess she wanted to make sure he wouldn't find his way back.





See; he looked like a nice little thing didn't he?  I'm sure you can see why I thought having him move in with me & my human would be nice.  He looked cute & lots of fun.

Just goes to show though that appearances can be deceptive.

This cute, fun looking little thing proved to have a lot of power in our house.

I'm so glad he's gone.





And look, this is me relaxing with my human, feeling happy & content that we have our house back to ourselves.

My new little friend ...

Human & I have had an interesting week ... I might need to write a couple of blogs to tell you all about it!

It all started last Tuesday night when I found a new little friend.  He'd been living in the yard next door & I felt a little bit sorry for him, living out there in the cold, when I knew how warm & cosy my house was.  And I remembered how lovely & kind my human was when I'd been living outside in the cold & she invited me in ... & let me live with her forever.

I truly thought she'd do the same for my new friend.

And so last Tuesday night, I picked him up ever so gently in my mouth & took him home with me.  I ran straight into the living room & started shouting excitedly at my human, telling her all about the new friend I'd brought home to live with us.

Of course, when I opened my mouth to tell her, my new little friend ran out didn't he?

My human screamed!  Wow!  I've never heard her be that excited before!

And then she jumped up on the back of the sofa?  Wow; she must have been really excited!!

Being the sensible one in the house, I kept an eye on our new little friend to make sure he was okay.  I think my human's scream had scared him & so he'd ran & hid underneath this lovely scratchpost that I have.  See; the chair shaped one in the picture?

And then for some reason, human screamed again!?  I don't know why.

And then she suddenly picked me up & threw me in the bedroom!?

I was having none of it though.  I needed to stay in the living room & keep watch on my new little friend to make sure he was okay.  I don't know what happened to him though; I lost him for a while.

Human later told me that she'd seen him run into our bedroom & she'd thrown me in there to catch him!  I'm not sure whether I believe her or not ...

Anyway, the next day human was still in a bit of a funny mood.  

I think she might have been worried about our new little friend because she didn't know where he was.  I thought it was quite nice of her to be concerned about him like that.

And through the night, I'd told our new little friend about the importance of being clean & tidy when you live in a house.  I didn't want to share my litter tray with him, but I did tell him to use the bath instead.  I think my human appreciated that, because she laughed when she saw his droppings sitting in there the next morning.

And yet despite this laughter, she still didn't seem too happy.


By this time, he'd found a nice cosy little place to live beside the fridge in the kitchen.



This is me making sure he's okay.





I think human then began getting concerned about him because she went out & bought him a little home.

See ....

... a cute little home, & she even put almond butter & chocolate in it for him to eat.  

What I can't understand though is why she's not happy.  And why she's moved my dinner & water ... & litter tray ... into the living room.

She's given my new little friend the whole kitchen for himself, & won't let me go in there to play with him.


I'm tired of eating my dinner off the carpet. 



And I'm even more tired of the indignity of having to use my litter tray in the living room.  That's not right is it?

It seems to me that this plan has backfired somewhat ... 



And oh, I haven't introduced you to my little new friend have I?  The little friend I'm not allowed to play with & who has evicted me from the kitchen ...





This is him ...
