CATS & CO.

Today dad suggested building an adventure playground for Toffee.
So I started emptying cardboard boxes, cutting and sticking bits together.
I hung a threaded paper curtain underneath a small chair, where Toffee would go through, making a tunnel.
He would come out under my little table covered with a cloth. Inside there's a string attached to the top with a newspaper ball hanging on it so Toffee can hit it.
After that he would go through a box and then over a bridge (a box lid) ; ending up in a "swimming pool" with little bouncy balls in it!
At the beginning Toffee didn't like the idea of going through the tunnels, but when I put a trail of nibblets inside for him to follow, and a plate with some tuna paste at the end of the trail as a "treasure", he didn't hesitate going in!

MIAOWY CHRISTMAS!

Miaowy Christmas!
This is my first Christmas and I LOVE playing on the tree and climbing it, but they don't like me playing with the coloured balls and decorations.
I don't know why they made ME wear this silly Santa Clause hat that makes me look ridiculous.
For Christmas I want a new toy.
Hurry up Santa! I can't wait!

Toffee

TOFFEE IS NOW 5 MONTHS OLD!

2007-09-30T04:42:00.000-07:00

Notice the difference?
His much bigger and heavier now. His ears and face have changed.
His fur is of a different colour.
He's grown so quickly from when he first came here,
but he's still a rascal!!!

TOFFEE ON THE TERRACE

2007-09-07T00:51:00.000-07:00

A week ago, Toffee had his first trip on the terrace.
At the beginning he was a bit frightened but he soon grew confident and trotted into the next door neighbour's roof garden.
The gate was closed so we couldn't go in to get him. We tried to make him come out by bouncing his favourite little ball but he wouldn't come back.

I was getting more and more worried but dad just kept saying that he would come back.
Suddenly I realised that maybe I could wriggle under the gate. I told daddy my idea and he agreed.
So that's what I did, I wriggled my way under the gate and very slowly I crept around and spotted Toffee behind a tub munching on some grass. I picked him up and took him back to daddy. We went back home and told everything to mum.

Toffee was exhausted after that exciting adventure, so he laid on the couch and fell asleep.
We thought that we could write a book about Toffee in the neighbour's roof garden called
TOFFEE'S ADVENTURES IN THE SECRET GARDEN.

TOFFEE IS 3 MONTHS OLD

2007-07-31T10:45:00.000-07:00

Now Toffee is 3 months old but still cute as ever.
He likes playing with paper balls, balloons, his toy mice and my hair bands.

TOFFEE IS HERE

2007-07-25T01:35:00.000-07:00

Toffee is the best thing that ever happened to me! He is the most beautiful kitten in the whole world! He likes it when I pick him up and scratch his neck. Sometimes in the morning he runs so fast that you can't see him and trip over him but he doesn't seem to mind. Sometimes he jumps on the chair and then on the table. Of course, he isn't aloud there and we try to stop him but he still does it. He does some funny things too: he tumbles while he's playing with his little ball, he jumps up and down when I hold his little pretend mouse and tries to catch it, that's the funniest thing he does! When he falls asleep he is so cute!!! Everyone who has seen Toffee likes him too! I am proud to have a kitten like Toffee!

MY KITTEN

2007-07-11T01:16:00.000-07:00

This is my kitten.
He is cute and cuddly. He is 2 months old. He was born on the 1st of May.
I chose him when we went to Torriglia with Simona, our friend, to her friend's house. They had him and another kitten that was female. She was a bit more lively than him.
She jumped everywhere and when I picked her up she crawled away so I chose him instead. I had to wait 2 WHOLE weeks to bring him home, of course I DIDN'T want to wait that long, but I just HAD to!!!
So I waited and waited and waited but the time went slowly and I couldn't make it go any faster!!! I was too impatient to wait that long!!! I am still here waiting but in exactly 2 days I will be patting him again and picking him up again but this time not in Torriglia but here, at home, MY home!!! I CAN'T wait!!!!!!!!!!
