i had a small taste of freedom today before graybeard grabbed me and put me back in the firebox room. Calico had gone off to the wool room and i could see her from one of my window perches. I tried to get her attention by taking paper out of that machine she uses when she tap tap taps on the flat board but she could care less.
So I had to take desperate measures. they had blocked off my roomtop shortcut with something soft and beige but I thought if a gurl is persistent and kept scratching at it , it might open up. When I was a baby calico tried bunched up silvery stuff to block a room and i found a way to burrow under it. then they got those blasting things that hissed and spit air at me everytime i came near it and i wasn't going anyway near them again.
but i didn't see any blasters so i kept poking and scratching and bang I was through. the white doors were closed and i could hear some animals in there and smell something interesting.
I went looking for calico when grey beard found me and carried me in to the wool room asking if Cal had let me free. yep you guessed it, they found my narrow opening and block it up again.
If she hadn't started wearing her fur again I might have been able to stay alone. when its warm she must shave all over to stay cool but when the weather gets cooler she starts sprouting lots of fur. the odd thing is that it's different colors on different days. Like yesterday she was blue with big fluffy balls dangling down the front. and yoday she is pink with holes in her fur just large enough for my hands. Her green fur is my favorite. It's really long and covers her paws and sometimes I can even stick my hands in it and snuggle up close.
Tomorrow I am going to try something else. I really HAVE TO see what's going on in my old sleeping box.
