Hi Fiona,
Thought I would send you an email and let you know how I’m going since you sent me to live with my new human parents Andrew and Bree in April.
I’ve got them wrapped around my little paw so bad. As soon as I look at them with my eyes as round as they can go and make my cutest meow which I’ve decided goes like this “ehh oww!” they’ll give me whatever I want. Whether it’s food off their plate, paper they are throwing away (I love the sound it makes when they scrunch it up) or sleeping in their bed.
They already had other fur babies but not like me. Baxter is a total push over, he’s my favourite. We play chasings and then we fight but he’s so fat that he never wins! I have my suspicions that he lets me win but he tells me doesn’t. It took me awhile to like the girls Suki and Gizmo. They are really rude, they would follow me around the house ALL the time like they needed to know where I was.
I understand the humans have called me Fergus. I heard them talking about my name for ages because they weren’t sure what to call me. It’s nice to have a name because when they yell out ‘Fergus dinner!’ I know that I have to go running.
One thing I have found out about living with these humans is that they don’t like it when I burp if I’m sitting on them. Sometimes I can’t help it though. Also they do use my name a lot and most of the time its not yelling to tell me dinner is ready. Sometimes the girl one (Bree) will say “No Fergus” when I pull her underwear off the clothes horse or when I drink out of the glass of water on the table. (yes it is hers but we share sometimes although I’m not sure if she knows about that… oh well). The boy one (Andrew) he is the sucker I can do whatever I like with him he taught me how to retrieve things for him, like paper, toys. The humans eat on the couch so I bring my dinner piece by piece to eat with him, and then he makes strange noises when I drop the meat onto his paws I don’t think this is as fun for him as it is for me because he takes them back to my bowl… but I go and get it and bring it back, persistence is the key. I also like to sleep on Andrews neck, this is where I feel we are both comfortable. I’d sleep on his face but I’m not that mean I’d like him be able to breathe or I wouldn’t get away with as much as I do. There is also a room in the house that I’m not allowed in so when they open the door I sneak in and hide although the girl one always finds me and tells me that I’m not as sneaky as I think I am but I just think that maybe I under estimated her and she’s smarter than I first thought. The boy one lets me into the forbidden room with him because its where we go to do stuff in the gym. I help him by sitting on his chest when he lifts the heavy things into the air. I like to help.
Well that’s it from me hope you are well
Love from Fergus
(Kind regards Andrew and Bree)
