Dear Bloggers, I have to tell you about the little kitten that Neighbour John bought for his children. He was a scrawny white thing with black blobby patches and a Winsome Personality, but he was a proper little Delinquent. He soon found his way to our back door and my Carers, who are suckers for friendly gestures. He would wheedle his way in with dulcet mewling tones, rub up against their legs and all that schmaltzy jazz. They then found that he was eating my grub, which was kept in the kitchen by the back door. So The Carers moved my food (kibble!) up to the first floor landing. Sure enough, the little blighter soon found his way up there too. He was such a friendly little fellow that I didn\u2019t have the heart to hiss him off the premises. In fact, we occasionally used to play \u2013 as long as he observed the rules that I was Boss, otherwise I\u2019d box him round the ears \u2013 so I was quite bereft when he moved away. The Carers weren\u2019t too enamoured of Neighbour John. They once spotted him throwing stones at me \u2013 I was only sitting on the wall overlooking the park, for Chrissake, not actually in his territory. He swore it wasn\u2019t him, but The Carers never trusted him thereafter, although they continued to be hospitable to that thieving little rascal. Here I should expound on the philosophical virtues of Hospitality \u2013 but it\u2019s time to curl up again, so I shall save that for another day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
