Mi Casa, Su Casa

This week, Molly has shown Henry how to play 'paper'. We have this game whereby we make a tent out of a sheet of newspaper and then either pull a ribbon through it, or poke a feather through holes we have made in it. Molly loves this, she goes mad hiding in the paper and tearing it up. Henry watched this performance and made a half hearted attempt to jump on the paper. The next day, however, he had got the idea ( he must have been practising) and was as enthusiastic as Molly. He has also taken over one of her favourite toys which he rolls on and makes a fuss of. Now Molly has decided that the idea of my house is your house, maybe not that good so she is trying to discourage him from playing with her stuff by tapping him on the head from the safety of the top of her scratching post. Henry, of course, has no idea that he is outstaying his welcome and carries on washing himself and generally not taking much notice.We bumped into our neighbour who told us that, yesterday, Molly went on an extended visit to her house to see Pussy'Little Mama' Willow as she has always looked after her when she needs comforting while Henry, slept on in ours.

  1. Oh yes, 'newspapers' is a fine game which is played in this house too!

    It can all get a bit wild and out of hand though - the place ends up looking like a tickertape parade has taken place!
