Progress Report...

I thought I ought to write to you and let you know how things are going at my new home. Well, things are pretty good actually. The best news is I don't have to use the garden for the toilet all the time! This is great news because the weather has been awful! It turns out that if I don't feel like going in the garden then I can just use the carpet or the floor in my room! Mummy and Daddy just clean it up! Now that is what I call service! I did hear them curse a little and I fear that they might have some ridiculous idea that I am going to go outside everytime. I DON'T THINK SO! I haven't noticed them stooping in the garden - treat or no treat!

I am prepared to compromise, and have split the number ones pretty much 50/50 garden and house, but as for the number twos, well I think one a day outside is plenty!

Enough about toilets - the rest of life here in Colchester is pretty good. I am allowed to sleep in Mummy and Daddy's bedroom (although not on the bed) AND I am allowed an afternoon snooze on the sofa - lovely!

The cats pose something of a threat. Have you seen the claws on those boys! The shifty looking black one (see video below) has got razors for claws! Now, my claws are pretty handy, but compared to Max's they are practically blunt. The big fluffy one is not to be messed with either! I had a closer look at him today. Harry is enormous - it's not all fluff as I first thought. He has definitely been in a few scraps in his time. He's got a tooth missing, one of his ears has a great big clip in it and one of his eyes has got a scar on. I know from my description that he probably sounds like an ugly fella, but he's as handsome as they come - he carries his war wounds proudly and definitely has the look of 'you ought to see the state of the other guy'!

After giving the boys a bit of a chase yesterday to test the water, I have decided to give them a wide berth at the moment. Although I have nicked loads of their food when they were out of the kitchen. I tell you, cat food is the business, much nicer than my food AND their water tastes better too!

I don't think I have anything else to tell you about tonight - I'm off to bed in a minute. I hope Lewis doesn't cry so much tonight and that Daddy doesn't snore quite so loudly - a dog needs her sleep...
