Hungry Cat

Weddlesdy

Smile Lady brought numnums again. Just for me!!! Didn’t even have to share with Half Ear or Piss Off. They were hunting the other alley nests for big nummies. But numnums just for me is better than aaall the big nummies in the Orb.

Tursdy

Smile Lady gave me rubbies while I ate more numnums. Don’t normally like fingies giving rubbies, but Smile Lady wasn’t slappy, just rubby behind my ears. She even made care to avoid my whiskers. I am Smile Cat.

Freedy

More numnums, more rubbies! Smile Lady made the chatty chats today. It was nice. Not at all like when Growl Man howls at me, chases me from his bread nest. Some of the Peeple lapping the brown drink inside howl back at Growl Man for scaring me, say I just want numnums and they’ll stop coming to his bread nest if he keeps being mean to me. 

Satty 

No Smile Lady today. Had to fight for Piss Off’s rat scraps.

Sundy

Smile Lady must be gone like ma. No rat scraps today. Just face scratch from Half Ear. I am Growl Cat today.

Mundy

Smile Lady back. Wanted to be Hiss Cat and make face scratch but she had extra nummies and made sorry chats. Said she only walks my way when she has to roam to the concrete box with windows so she can afford my numnums!

Toosdy

Numnums. Rubrubs. Good good good! Always wonder why Smile Lady’s Man Shadow never joins in. Maybe he doesn’t want to lose his game of hidey go peep?

Weddlesdy

Numnums and rubrubs but Smile Lady was a Frown Lady today. Her face had two black lines of peepers rain rolling down her face. She chat-chattied like before but I could tell she was very Frowny. Off-putting to my meal.

Tursdy

Man Shadow much closer today. Smile Lady was a Shaky Lady. Spilled my numnums on the soppy cobbles. Her chatties was shaky too. I can’t speak Peeple but it seems a Scary Peeple is snaky snaking inside her nest when Smile Lady is doing roams at her concrete box. Shaky Lady is scared of Scary Peeple. I meowed that she should be careful! A snaky snake in the nest is how Half Ear became Half Ear and maybe Man Shadow can help her with the Scary Peeple?

Freedy

Lots lots lots of peepers rain from Smile Lady. She can’t give numnums anymore. Scary Peeple is spying on her very muchly and she has to trick him so he won’t track her anymore. She must leave her nest and find a new one. I’d let her stay in my nest but Piss Off would make face scratch on her and she has no claws to scratch him back, so it wouldn’t be fair. Man Shadow has a big shiny slicer with him all the time so maybe she could borrow that to scratch back?

Satty

No Lady – Smiley or Frowny. So no rubbies or nummies. But Half Ear got lots of the flaky tasty bread from Growl Man’s bread nest and we nommed all night. 

Sundy

I will now call Smile Lady “Surprise Lady.” I’d just come back to the soppy alley nest from my roams with Piss Off, and… Surprise! Smile Lady was there leaking face rain and cuddling behind our bins. But it’s Sundy! I jumped on her lap and gave snuggies, but she had no numnums and was too shaky for rubrubs. I jumped off and went roaming with Half Ear instead. Passed Man Shadow and his Shiny Slicer on the way out. He was no good for numnums or rubbies either. Mrwah! Peeple!

Mundy

Smile Lady still in my alley having big nappies! Smile Lady should be “Lazy Lady.” But she laid out some looovely nummies for us though. Everyone was nibbling and pecking and buzz buzz buzzing at the numnums peeping out from her tumtums! And all this lovely red drink to laplap! A feast from heaven. Her hands were too sticks and freezy for rubbies which made me Frowny Cat. 

Toosdy

Blue Peeple chased us away to snaky snake our nest for themselves and decorated it with yellow ribbons and more Blue Peeple in white masks and slippers carried Smile Lady away on a lazy throne. Never knew she was a queen! Nest is gone but saw Man Shadow downtown, he was playing hidey go peep now with a Pretty Lady. Maybe Pretty Lady will have lovely red numnums for me too?
