Changing days

Every day seems different, one day it’s warm and sunny and the next it’s cold and the suns hiding behind the clouds. What’s going on?

Either way at night it seems to be getting extra cold for it being springtime but that’s ok, I still love sitting out on our balcony for hours and hours, just listening to the world go by beneath me. Listening to the foxes scurrying about, the noises of the river in the distance and people going about their evenings in their homes. Sometimes Angelin joins me and we sit there together quietly, just keeping each other company, she fluffs up her fur to keep herself warm. She’s short furred like me but her fur is much silkier and thicker than mine so she can keep herself extra warm. The cold doesn’t bother me though and I’ll happily sit outside for hours. Millie on the other hand rarely goes out when it’s cold or windy, which as the floofiest she should be the one who is best suited to colder weather but no, if it’s too cold she refuses to go out but wherever there is a sun spot that’s where you’ll find Millie.

I don’t know what to wear on walkies, a bandana to keep my chest warm or a bow tie to celebrate the sunshine. Sometimes mummy is wrapped up warm in her furry coat and winter boots, other days she leaves her coat behind and has her summer shoes on. I can tell what she’s wearing from the noises she makes, her coat makes a gentle swish as she moves and it feels different on my paws when I climb down her arm from the trees and her boots are clompy as she walks about but her summer shoes are quiet and just make a gentle squish noise.

When the weather is colder I love to run around and chase things, darting this way and that, it really gets the blood flowing and the muscles warmed up. Then one big run around the grass at full speed and then a quick turn and I’m heading straight for my favourite tree. Just when mummy thinks I’m going to run head first into it up I go, clearing the first bit of the tree trunk in one big jump and then scurrying up and up until, I get to the point that spoil sport mummy won’t let me go any further and I feel the pull of the lead stopping me from reaching the top. “That’s far enough Jenny” she says, but mummy I meow I want to go all he way up, right to the top.

When it’s warm and sunny and I’m out there on the balcony soaking up the sun I always try to get in a bit of exercise, I need to keep my muscles in tip top shape for all the climbing and adventuring that I do.

Then when it’s colder there’s nothing better than being in the snuggle bed, warm and cosy, purrfect for a cosy nap. Oh but actually, there is something better, being in there with Millie and snuggling up with all her long floof making my nap extra cosy. Ok so you might get a paw in the face or a tail up your nose or sat on. Of course I pretend to mind her taking all the space or sitting right on me but I don’t really. Sometimes I even give Millie a free washing session as a thank you for keeping me warm and cosy. It’s always handy to have someone wash those places you can’t quite reach properly yourself.

I really hope that springtime comes properly soon so I can spend the warmer weather sitting outside all the time (or as long as mummy and daddy will let me). Maybe mummy might even take me for extra daytime walkies at the weekend too if I’m a really good girl. Imagine that double weekend walkies, that would be pawesome, I could sit with mummy in the sun and stalk the birdies and chase insects or just chill in my tree and listen to the world go by. Maybe I could even make some new furriends too.
