Day 22
Today I woke up with a real bounce in my paws. 6am, time to wake Maid up with a massage on her wobbly tummy and a good loud purr. I know that she appreciates the attention even though she pretends to be asleep. Eventually I am rewarded with my bowl of kibbles.
I then followed Maid round until she finally cottoned on that I wanted to play, something I haven’t bothered to do for some time. We played ‘sploshes’, my favourite game. Maid waggles a peacock feather over sheet on newspaper and I put my ears back, my eyes go large as I lunge forward over the paper making a great noise with my paws as I pat at the feather. Half an hour later, and I was quite exhausted, my paws were almost on fire from galloping over the carpet.
I then took up residence on the basket of laundry, still warm from the tumble dryer. I was just nodding off when Manservant caught me and scufted me off. So back to my duvet for a few more kibbles and a snooze.

Another day where Dumpty seems full of energy. I was woken early by claws picking at my tummy as Madam had a glazed look on her eyes purring away as she padded on my tummy. I kept my eyes closed in case she stopped doing it. After kibbles she followed my into the lounge and started playing with a peacock feather. I was impressed by her pelt which is looking quite silky and in good condition and her energy.
