September 2007

We’re in Varenna, Italy — on Lake Como — and posting a lot more photos.  Jeff is frustrated that I haven’t uploaded any with him yet!  I’m still on August, before his arrival…

Hi Mom & Dad,

I’m having fun. I really like the sliding door.
Sometimes it is just a screen and i can listen to
the sounds of the birds in the trees for hours.
I spend most of my time there.

Occasionally an airplane comes over and i have to
go back to my the nice warm dark hideyhole in the
bedroom. I spend a lot of time there. I like it.
When the weather was still hot there was no blanket
on the bed and i could crouch and peer out under the
bed. But now there is a blanket blocking the view.
It makes my hideyhole more cozy though.

I’ve been missing you. I keep asking the weird guy
who i’m taking care of where you are, but he hasn’t
told me anything i understand yet. I talked to the
weird guy a lot for a few days and when i realized that
you were going to be gone a long time i spent three
whole days under the bed.

I don’t miss my bully little brother though! It’s so
nice to have the whole place to myself, i’m really
enjoying being in charge of the whole house. That’s fun.
And i can eat my food all day. That’s great!
Ok i do kind of miss him a little. Sometimes i forget
and look around to see where he is. I call to him
but he doesn’t answer, then i remember that he’s gone
and i’m a little sad.

Each morning i get a big hunk of wet food and new water.
The weird guy hasn’t forgotten even once, although sometimes
i remind him as soon as he is out of bed, just to be sure!

The carpet here is more comfortable than my bed, so i
don’t use it. I have fun with the scratching post!!
I like strutting around, it’s a comfortable place, but
of course the weird guy sometimes gets in the way and i
have to go back to the bed.

Adam from downstairs comes to visit every few days and i
said hello to him this week…. from across the room, of
course.

This weekend Julie stopped by quite a lot. She gave me my
food in the morning and in the evening she sat and read.
I peeked out at her, but then she tried to pet me so i
decided to leave.

This morning i was very excited that the weird guy was back.
I think i like having him as a pet. So i was running fast
circles around the house. Of course when he walked over to
my food bowl i had to run to the bed again, but i came back
soon. I like spending time by the balcony door more than
in the hideyhole these days.

He has some strange toys that he plays with, i think he
wants me to play with him and sometimes i play a little
just to make him happy, but i’m not really very interested.

I hope you’re having a lots of fun. I’m doing really good
and i like my new place but i will be happy to see you
when you get back.

Meow!!!

Jasmine
