Today is all about daddy, it’s his special day, a day just for him. I love my daddy.
He always lays out his damp towel on the bed for us to lie on, it’s one of our favourite places to sit, specially when the weather is warm. If mummy has to go out to work and comes back late daddy will make sure we’ve been fed and he’ll clean up our poop 💩 so that mummy has time to take me out for walkies (sometimes an extra long one if she’s been gone a long time).
Daddy is always there for us no matter what. Whilst mummy and daddy have been working at home and not going out it’s given daddy and I time to bond and develop our relationship. He always sat back and let me and meowmy be best buddies and let me and mummy do everything together. Now though daddy and I play a lot more, I’ve taught him the damp hands game and we play this at least twice a day and I love it. Whenever I hear the tap going I go running to him meowing and he rubs me all over with his wet hands as I run around the flat meowing with joy. Very occasionally I sit on his lap or sometimes when mummy’s not here I sit next to him so we can keep each other company and he can rub my chin.
Oi! Wait! Get your paws off Angelin, I’m writing about daddy.
I know Jenny but I wanna write something, daddy is my most favourite and I loves him so much I wanna tell everybody.
Well, ok I suppose you can write something, here you go but don’t mess it up.
Hey everybody, Angelin here. I just wanna tell everyone how special my daddy is, he’s my bestest friend and I loves him lots and lots. I know mummy and Jenny have a special bond and go out walkies together but daddy and I have a special bond too. He’s my hero, I loves him loads and I follow him around wherever he goes, he makes me so happy my tail goes big and fluffy all by itself. He calls me his little puppycat and gives me loves and strokes and head rubs whenever I want. If I climb up high he’s the one who comes and rescues me and makes sure I’m not scared, sometimes I even stand on him when he gets me down! He talks to me to make sure I’m ok and says that it’s ok I can’t get down by myself yet and that I have other beautiful and special qualities. When he goes under the waterfall in the bathroom, I like to sit with him to keep him company and make sure he is properly clean and wait for him when he comes out, just in case he gets lonely without me. When I’m tired I back up to his lap and point my bottom at him, that’s his cue to lift me up and gently put me on his lap. He gives me a full body massage then I snuggle down to sleep on his warm cosy lap. Once I’ve snuggled down he doesn’t move at all, not at all, not even for coffee or a drink or anything. He stays there all still so I can have a good sleep. Daddy also makes the perfect bed and when he’s sleeping at night I climb up onto him and snuggle into his legs or his bottom and we sleep together all night long. Happy you day daddy, love your little shadow, your little puppycat Angelin.
Right I’m back now. Hey Millie! Stop pawing at me, I might be blind but I know it’s your giant paws tapping me on the head!
Well, if Angelin gets to write something then I want to write something too. Come on Jenny, you gotta share, he’s my daddy too.
I’d just got a great idea of what to write but you’ve spoilt it now, that head tapping tapped the idea right out of my mind. Typical Millie, always gotta jump right in all three feet first! You’re such a ginger! Ok, fine, here you go, have your turn but don’t be too long, I’ve got deadlines to meet.
Millie here, hi everyone. Daddy is just the best, he plays my favourite nobbly ball games with me and bounces them all over the flat. He taught me that the best bouncing spot was on the small table where I can sit and give the balls a really good swat back. Mine and daddy’s favourite place though is when he sits on the white chair in the bathroom, I love to keep him company. He used to read paper books but that’s no fun so now I keep him company, sit on his lap, climb in his trousers and of course play fetch with the nobbly balls. I love bathroom time with daddy, it’s just me and him, our special time. I’m pretty sure sometimes he goes and sits in there just so we can have some fun time together, just us two. We don’t just play in the bathroom, we play all over the flat, with me running around, up and down the corridor. Lots of exercise helps to keep ‘mental Millie’ at bay but he always makes sure that I have some playtime that I can do sitting down so my back leg doesn’t get too tired. During the day I always get lots of little cuddles, belly rubs and head massages which I just love, the more attention the better for me daddy. We always have a play before bed and sometimes he even lets me attack his feet under the bed covers. I love to curl up in his lap but now Angelin’s always there so I don’t do it as much but I’m working on that. Thanks daddy for being my nobbly play buddy and for playing with me like I’m not different to the others. Oh! I nearly forgot, he always, always shares his human food with us but it’s me that always get first offers on any leftovers. Love you daddy, Millie.
Right, that’s enough Millie, you’ve written loads now, it’s my blog not yours, you’re always so jealous of everything.
Angelin! stop shoving me, you’ve had your turn already, you can’t go again. Get off!
Girls, girls, girls, that’s enough! Why do I always have to stop you squabbling? Honestly who’d have sisfurs! It’s none of your turns, it’s my turn now, I’ve known daddy the longest so I get to have my say too.
Ok then Peppar, here you go. We were only fooling around, honest, they’re just so annoying and it’s my blog and I didn’t get to finish what I was saying.
You can have it back in a minute Jenny and you can have the last say as always but now it’s my turn.
What more can I say other than for 14 years you’ve been there for me. You didn’t even mind when as a tiny kitten I left a chocolate drop 💩 on your arm by mistake. We’ve got through some tough times and I was a right scaredy cat all those years ago. Now, thanks to you (and mummy) Im just a chilled out boy trying to keep these girls in their place and find a quite place to have a nap. I always love my night sleeps on mummy’s pillow but your lap (when Angelin and Millie aren’t hogging it) makes the perfect evening nap spot to stretch out on and watch the tv, us boys have got to stick together after all. I’m sorry that I stand on your crotch before curl up on you but it takes a while these days to get these old bones comfortable. Love you lots, your old boy Peppar.
Ok, so back to me now right? No one else got anything to say? No, ok then. Now where was I? Oh! I can’t remember now with all those interruptions, I’ve lost my train of thought. Oh well, never mind all I have really got left to say is thank you for always making me look pretty when I’m out on walkies with mummy, you always choose the purrfect bandana or bow tie for me to wear. It makes me feel like you’re with me on walkies every day. Oh and thank you for always being the one that says to mummy “shall we tuna them tonight?”.
