Lyra’s 182t福利 – Chapter 2

Here I am dreaming of a computer mouse
鈥淲ell, another really funny thing happened to me last week. I have been itching to tell you all about it, but聽she聽said I had to live quietly for a few days and not get over excited. I of course took no notice of聽her, jumped up onto the counter, ran around like a demented creature and led Dave in the Lodge a merry dance by hiding in the cupboard while he searched every inch of the quad with a torch in his hand and tears in his eyes (he does love me so).
鈥淚 had a lovely sleep until Hannah found me and spoiled my ruse.聽Anyway, I had to get back into the car, yes the awful Skoda again, but I did go to see my lovely friend Ms Eleanor!聽She鈥檚 so lovely to me. But imagine my surprise when聽she聽left me there.聽Well, it turned out I was on a sleep-over!

With Ms Eleanor
鈥淲hile I was there it was a good idea to make sure I was treated so that I couldn鈥檛 have any kittens. I don鈥檛 go out at the moment, but I might in future and I won鈥檛 always be a kitten myself so best to be safe.聽Ms Eleanor was very insistent that it was done early, before I was 16 weeks old.聽Many kittens are left too late and end up having kittens while they are still kittens themselves which is a really bad thing. It seems that because of this there are places where there are lots of unwanted cats!聽I don鈥檛 believe such places can exist can they?

I love getting cuddles at the Lodge!
鈥淚鈥檓 so lucky to have all of the people at Univ and Ms Eleanor think of these things for me and keep me safe.聽I also had my microchip fitted so if I do get lost I can be found and taken 182t福利.聽After hiding in the cupboard I heard聽her聽ask the Head Porter to buy me a cat tracker.聽I suppose it will save Dave鈥檚 tears so I will agree, just this once.
鈥淚鈥檝e had such a lovely term so far at College and I鈥檓 sooooo happy to get all of the cuddles from students and staff. Apparently it will be something called Christmas soon, which sounds very, very exciting鈥︹
