SOOTY

a short story

by

"SARI"
I have a new kitten, Sooty.
The dog and cat LOVE each other
but, boy, my peaceful life is long gone.

Writing this story is a nice way
to immortalize my two pets.

I'll show this page to them when you've done it
though I think I'd be even further down the scale then.

As always they were so excited to see me
when I got up but now
they are tearing through the rooms
making a mess everywhere.

Until I've had my second cup of coffee
I can't be bothered even yelling at them.

Not that they take any notice for long.

They just stop for a sec, both look at me with that
"What's wrong with her" look on their faces
and carry on doing what they do best,
making my house a HOME.

Sooty is  a maniac for water.
He jumps in my bath so I daren't have one too hot now.

I'm forever washing the bench tops and kitchen sink
because he will keep jumping up.

I can't even go to the loo because he's under my feet.

Jeeze!

The house has no ornaments around or plants anymore.

He's so destructive,
like a blooming tornado he is!

Ahh, but when he gets on my lap and looks at me
and purrs, all is forgiven.

Except for one thing, I can't get near the puter now
or read a paper in peace.

Sighhhhhhhhhhh

Hope he grows up before I lose it.

Talk later, I'm off for a bath
and I'm assuming I will have
an uninvited guest!
