Play And Relaxation

Squeaky Rolling Around.

Relaxation is a top priority for Squeaky, interspersed with spasms of play. While basking in the sun the chilled out furball rolls over one way, then the other. Wheee!

When I’m in the bathroom getting ready for bed, she will start to play with her predecessor’s miniature hand-knitted toys and mini rubber balls. When I hear a jingle (the bell around her collar), and her thumping across the floorboards I yell out, ‘I can hear you!’ With stops and starts the thumping continues.

I then walk into the lounge room and see her in predator mode, encouraging her as she pounces on a 5cm penguin. She bats it twice and it slides under the piano, then an even smaller toy mouse hurtles across the floor with a whack from her right paw. She stops suddenly when she realises I am watching her.

When I chase her around the house or outside, and while playing with her toys she is clearly having fun, zooming along like a wind-up toy.

A Cushion To Support Her Head.

While I’m watching TV, she’ll sit on my lap all night and after a few hours, I struggle to get-up. As I write in my journal in bed, Squeaky will jump up and groom herself. When It’s ‘lights-out’, she curls-up leaning against my lower thigh. I try not to move.

Early morning after having her breakfast and spending a few minutes outside, she’ll join me back on the bed resting her chin across my ankle, staring out the window, while I snooze.

The Human.
