leaving home

My daily fight to leave the house gets more ridiculous every day. The moment he hears me jingling the keys he sits in front of the door. At first I just left quickly. Then I rolled a ball along the corridor and he would jump after it. Now I have to throw a toy really fast and quite long, throw out my bags (I usually carry too) and try to jump after them slamming the door shut before the streak of black lightning whooshes out the door, between my legs and up the staircase.

christmas in the year of the cat

My baubles and candles are under glass.  Open fire is out.  And the silver shine comes from the aluminium wrapping of the furniture (which I’ve been told would prevent Henry from scratching the wood).

PS: Henry eats aluminium.

I’m usually not quick enough to catch Henry at his pranks. This morning I found him hugging and battling and scratching the roll of kitchen towels.
