This morning I had to stand under a neighbour’s tree for 20 minutes quietly encouraging Jasper to COME THE HELL DOWN FROM THAT TREE with such niceties as IF YOU FALL AND BREAK YOUR LEG DON’T COME RUNNING TO ME . . . and IF YOU DIE I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!
The stupid cat had decided to climb the highest tree in the whole development and got himself well and truly stuck. I really think had I not been there to talk him down, he may have stayed there all day, crying pitifully. Perhaps remembering the time he fell from an open upstairs bathroom window with a FFFFUMMMMBT, landing on his feet right beside me, scaring the living daylights out of me. Oh, did I never tell you about that? Sorry. Been unable to talk about it without tears up to now!
Jasper is my main man though – he is the most loving of the kittens and well worth making me late for work to make sure he was ok. He sleeps on the kitchen table in the evenings while I work there and manages to have his body on the table but front paws and head on my chest – usually with a gap under him. And I defy you to find a purrier kitten. Yes, that is a word. I just made it up.
In other news, look at me – my first animated gif! And it worked too! Seriously – how clever am I????
