It's been a while since I've posted because the holidays really got me down. While my humans were galavanting around eating like pigs, I was left at the mercy of the neighbourhood bully and the lady next door. While I approve of the fact that she gives me 3 times more food than my female human does, she's not nearly as cuddly. Plus, when my humans are away I can't sleep on the bed or the sofa, my two favourite spots. Instead I have to fight with Cosmo over the cushion at the top of the stairs.
I don't like it at all when my humans go away though because I always wonder if it will be like last time when I had humans and a mummy to feed me and then suddenly I was living rough. I promised myself that if they came back for me that I'd be extra nice to them and I was glad to see them but then they went away a second time and I was alone again while fireworks were going off! But they're back now and they don't appear to want to go away again anytime soon.
Mostly though I've been worrying for the last couple of weeks what would happen if they did go away forever and I don't like that idea at all. It's made me want to listen to sad music, music about being alone. I particularly like Tresspassers William because they're named after Piglet's father and my female human likes to call me "Pig." When they sing "...something you'll run back in for when the house burns down" I wonder if my humans miss me when they aren't here?

They also have a dreamy quality that helps me feel calmer. I listen to "Different Stars" and I wonder where my mummy is and if the humans from the house where I was born are somewhere exotic and whether when my humans look up outside if it looks different or smells differerent and what the cats are like where they go. I wonder if I would find different sorts of mice to chase or whether they have different types of food to taste. Mostly I wonder if the toilet swirls differently there.
