James has complained to me that my blog posts have been skipping about between past and present recently, and he finds it confusing. So no more retrospective blogs for now, even though there were lots of other pleasant happenings in October, not least a couple of trips to Dundee to visit David and Chanel.
So now it’s back to three of us in the house - James, Ally and me. Or should I say five, including Tom and Floof. Ally has started his first graduate job as a trainee solicitor and I am very proud of him.
Floof still annoys Tom when she wants to play with him while he is having a nap, but Tom definitely seems more comfortable around her - he looks less horrified by her antics. Floof just loves Tom and hopefully will be a good companion for him. She is so funny and currently specialises in leaping high into the air and is a bit bitey and scratchy. She has been to the vet for her first jag and is healthy and gaining weight. She is very vocal and has a strange wee voice - a hoarse shout. Ally told us that he said “Meow” to her and she replied “Baaaa” like a sheep! Our first three cats, Tess, Jack and Jill, all knew how to meow beautifully - but Tom and Ruby just say / said “Eeeee!” and now Floof has her weird bleat! She also has a quite alarming and loud scream that she uses when she is over-excited, which is quite often. She watches Tom going out and in through the cat flap and I’m sure that she would love to go outside but she will have to wait a few more months. However Tom has brought in two dead mice for her this week (at least they were dead when I found them, poor wee things!) Floof was enjoying playing with them and was absolutely furious when I took them away from her!
