'Il y a une puce' loose about the hoose

I was relatively well-behaved in the night but my owner awoke at 3.05 am and went downstairs for a trip to the toilet where she discovered a fine specimen of cat flea sucking on her leg.  Upon returning upstairs she inspected my head and found an even larger example making merry amongst my fur.  My owner tried to catch it with her thumb and forefinger but my fur is too thick and it quickly disappeared amongst my snowy white pelt.  I must admit I am finding these creatures most aggravating but I do not help matters as I struggle for freedom when the flea treatment is applied and a large amount of it tends to land on my fur and not on the skin on the back of my neck.

My owner is continuing with the de-stoning of her front border.  However, now that the majority of gravel has gone one of the neighbourhood cats has taken it upon itself to adopt it as a new cat latrine much to my owner's disgust.  It isn't me, I refuse to use the outside facilities and prefer to make use of indoor facilities that befit my high status.

    Oh you are lucky, I do miss my fleas. My owner did not appreciate them. She is unreasonable. This morning for instance she was cross. All I did was:
    1. Bring in a mouse as a thoughtful bedtime treat for her. When she would not allow me to lay it on her pillow I batted it around in the hall for twenty minutes before CRUNCHing it LoUDLY. Yum.
    2. Because she did not like the mouse I woke her up with a nice chaffinch. When she would not let me deposit it in her bed I threw it around the hall before SQuelCHing it down. Top Yum.
    3. Then as no-one saw fit to feed me I entered the kitchen bin and ate the butter lid.Excellent yum.

    No idea why she was cross. There is no pleasing some people.
    Yours

    1. Oh no, bad Augustus. Thou shalt not eat chaffinches or other pretty birds.

  2. Dear Moses, you are very well-behaved compared to that awful Gus who has no manners. All know that the slaying of chaffinches is frightfully poor form and that what he really ought to be after is a nice furry bat to leave on her pillow instead. I have left a couple of these for my owners. Imagine their cries of delight. I not am quite sure but rather think that a civic honour may be forthcoming as I distinctly heard the words 'notify the authorities' when they came upon them.

    Yours in admiration

    Miss Copter
