I overheard a familiar voice on the phone last night. I remembered it from last year when I went to stay with ‘Aunty Pam and my younger sister Katinka.’ I sat there on the rug with my most mournful expression, but Lynettea didn’t seem to notice. I wonder if she bothers about me at all!
I told her previously that I don’t want to go to any cat holiday camps or cat holiday hotels.
I am on the alert now to see if she tries to get me into the cat carrier. Her suitcase is standing around and there are piles of assorted objects that look as if they are to be packed. No amount of her saying, ‘You will be really well looked after, Diamond,’ or, ‘Well, I can’t leave you alone here while I am away, Diamond,’ will pacify me.
Maybe I should give her some sharp swipes with my paws so she can see I mean business this time. I don’t mind staying here by myself as long as there is plenty of my special food left out for me.
