U is for Understanding




I FEAR I do not sufficiently understand the human race. In an effort to get into the head of the old woman in order to more fully understand the human brain, I sat on her chest while she was asleep in bed and stared. She awoke and pushed me off. 

When she fell back asleep I sat on her chest again and resumed my staring. This happened five or six times until the alarm went off.

‘I’ve hardly slept a wink,’ she told the old man in the morning. ‘That cat’s been creeping me out.’

‘The staring?’ he asked. She nodded.

‘I know,’ he replied. ‘Sometimes She’s like a character out of Nightmare On Elm Street.’

Nightmare On Elm Street? I don't remember seeing a stunning babe of a ginger cat in that. I thought I was more like the cat in the old Disney film The Three Lives of Thomasina, based on the Paul Gallico book Thomasina: The Cat Who Thought She Was God

Oh, that's a good idea for a film. Toffee: The Cat Who WAS a God.

Take note, Disney.

Well, I've finally done it. I have written my no-holds-barred exposé of my life. Prepare to be AMAZED, prepare to be SHOCKED, prepare to be ENTHRALLED blah, blah, blah. Left is the paperback, right is the Kindle version.

  1. A little bit creepy! So, does staring helps for getting into the hoomans head?

  2. hahahah Lucy likes to sleep on me in the early morning...it's like a pre-breakfasts wake up call which I studiously ignore and promptly go back to snore. 90 minutes or so I will get up and feed her majesty! Cheers and have a happy healthy day!

  3. Oh, I LOVED Thomasina when I was little! Your people should take a tip from me, lock cats out of the bedroom at night!
