This and That

My goodness, what a bad start to the day. I heard the alarm go off at 6.30 and made my way to the dining area and guess what .. not a servant to be seen. They do say patience is a virtue but this particular morning my patience was stretched to the limit and I had to make my way to the Servants Quarters where I found that they had both overslept but I soon sorted that out simply by jumping on the bed and walking all over the Woman ….  that gave her a shock I can tell you and she jumped out of bed, highly embarrassed and apologetic and prepared my breakfast.

After my breakfast was served, she boiled the kettle and whilst the tea was drawing, I got my morning brushing after which I invariably need a bowel movement so I chirrup at the Woman Servant who seems to know exactly what I want and she goes downstairs to open the door to my earth-closet in the basement as I don’t seem to be able to use the cat flap in the early morning. Only after all this does the Man Servant get his morning cup of tea …… and quite rightly so! Although the Woman does spoil him by giving it to him in bed!!

The other day the Woman Servant put some celery in a bowl of lightly salted water to soak and I must admit that that water is really delicious and tastes a lot better than the filtered water in my own bowl.

The Butler left the Radio and TV guide on the floor and of course I had to run at it like a kitten and shred it to show who is boss.

Last Monday THAT WOMAN had the effrontery to put me in a basket and haul me off to the vet.   He turned out to be a jumped up young German whipper-snapper who without so much as a bye-your-leave inspected my teeth and had the cheek to say that I was missing a few.    He then stuck a needle in me for my inoculation, which for some reason the authority’s insist upon, fortunately the Woman Servant remembered my instructions and made sure he gave it to me in two parts so that I wasn’t poorly and tomorrow I go again to have the next one done.  With any luck it won’t be the German Vet, the sooner he is back over the channel the better, as far as I am concerned!
