Valentine's Day

 

        Hi! This is Barnaby. I'm a handsome, fluffy, white and orange cat. I want to write about how much I love my humans.

        My humans are Sophie and C. They are very good to me. I love them very much.

        They have a lot of toys for Willow and me. I like to play with the toys. My favourite toy is this ball that rolls all by itself. It has a tail that I can chase. Sometimes I grab the tail. It runs on batteries and sometimes needs to be plugged in. One of the things I like about it is that it stops when I get tired of playing with it. I was playing with it a few weeks ago and it stopped, but I can't find it and neither can my humans. I hope we find it toon. I miss it.

        I have other toys to play with. I like balls and springs. Every morning I bring a ball to Sophie so she can throw it to me. The rule is I have to bring the ball back to her and set it on the couch if I want her to throw it again. I try to do it most of the time, but sometimes the ball falls out of my mouth and onto the floor. She has to pick it up from the floor. I have a box with a bunch of holes in it. It has balls and springs in it. I can pick the one I want to play with and get it out of the box. It's very handy for keeping them all in one place.

        My humans give us good food. We get cereal most of the time and wet food two days a week. C gives us Churu every day. Willow makes sure that we get our Churu. C serves it to us in our own bowls and we sit on the kitchen chairs to eat it. It's my favourite part of the day. I like to look at the food the humans eat. While I like my food, theirs looks more interesting. Sometimes as a treat we will get a little pumpkin or yogurt. Both are very good. 

        The best things are the cuddles. Sophie gives good cuddles and head scratches. They make me feel good. I like to be petted a lot. Sometimes if  Sophie is in the kitchen I'll try to jump on her so she will pay attention to me. I've put holes on a couple of her shirts and she gets a little mad. If I'm patient she'll put me on her shoulder and carry me around while she's doing things in the house. I don't do that for very long though. Too much to see and do.

        I don't like it when she trims my claws or brushes my fur. I'm told that both are necessary so I don't tear up the furniture and get hair all over it. I don't see the problem with fur on the furniture. I have nice while fur. My orange looks like copper in the sunlight. It looks good on me and would look good anywhere. Fortunately, we do get treats after claw trimmings so I guess it isn't too bad.

        It's time for me to go sit in the cat tree, another reason why I love my humans. We have two cat trees with comfortable places to sit. One of them even had a cat cave so we can sleep undisturbed.

        Bye!
