When Terry got up, he carried me to the table by my tail and made me sit on the table while he ate breakfast. He is such a messy boy and I got bits of food all over me. Unfortunately, he must have woken up in a bad mood because when his mother asked him to get dressed, he shouted at her and them hit me. So I was very angry and hissed at him. Then he hit me again and I hissed even more. Luckily he left me at home while he was at school and I had a very peaceful time. When he got home he was much happier and was very nice to me. He sat for a long time on the sofa, patting me and saying “Tama, I love you” over and over. I loved it and couldnt stop purring. I wish he were like that all the time. Meanwhile, he has promised to take me to the park tomorrow. I cant wait. 111
