The weather forecast is good and Lynette suggests we might like to spend the day checking out some nearby venues so Otto can recuperate after such a long trip. Otto is younger than me or Freya. In my opinion he looks pretty fit and can take care of himself.
Lynette seems very concerned about his welfare. ‘How long did you spend on the carpet, dear Otto?’ she asks several times, along with questions about how stable the carpet was and did he get enough to eat when travelling. ‘I hope you kept up your liquids, Otto,’ she asks. ‘It’s most important to keep well hydrated.’
I tell her we’ll eat at a local café for lunch, so we won’t need much to eat at night.
She says, ‘That’s fine, beloved cat. Dear Sasha. Whatever makes you and your little friends happy!’ Then she gives me a big hug in front of the other two cats, which is undignified, to say the least. Freya walks up to Lynette and permits her to gently stroke her furs. Lynette looks really happy. It doesn’t take much to please a human.
We only have a short walk to the shops. Otto and Freya want to look at a toy shop first.
I have many toys at home, which I play with occasionally to amuse Lynette. Cat toys are a bit juvenile, but they are enough to amuse most humans. Mine loves to play with them. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy pleasing my human.
Please turn on the sound to watch these videos.
The shop assistant thought we had broken the rules.
But he didn’t interfere with this one. It was fun, but not up to our usual standard. Otto and I are experienced, so this is mere kitten play for us. I must say Otto is pretty competitive!
I don’t know who won. Maybe we could regard it as a tie. Freya looked on with a great deal of interest and then praised both of us for our sharp moves.
