We’ve got a new kitten! Seriously! As if three kittens weren’t enough for anyone, my mum and dad have now rescued a fourth. Her name is Sooty, apparently, and guess where she gets to live? That’s right, in my mum and dad’s bedroom! And where does she sleep? You guessed it: on the bed!
Why? you may well ask. Well, this is what my mum and dad told me:
You see, Josie, Sooty is not yet two month’s old, and she doesn’t have a mum or a home, and if she hadn’t come to live with us then she would have gone to a place where…well, never mind what might have happened. Now she’s safe, just as you’re safe, and the reason she’s going to live in our bedroom for a while is that she’s too small to be with the other kittens, at least for now. And, we’re sorry that means you can’t be in the bedroom at the moment but you might frighten or even hurt her, even though you wouldn’t mean to…
Moi hurt her? Even if she does look like a tasty one-bite snack?

Oh, well. I’ll just have to grin and bear it and hope that Sooty will grow up to be my friend.
This is the view from my mum and dad’s bedroom window that I no longer get to see. Sigh!
