Energies

Funny little thing that TYK. Can now get in and out of the kitchen thanks to Her brick on the step though most times it lets Myself go first. Presumably from an innate politeness but could also be so Myself can check All Is Safe. It was gloriously happy yesterday afternoon chasing cherry tree leaves (in short bursts of energy) until a few drops of rain. Whereupon it panicked mightily and ran all over the place. Bumped into things then tripped up, rolled bumpily down the rockery and hid under a big stone near the bottom. Took Myself a long time to coax it back out and when it finally emerged its tail was all puffed up like a lavatory brush. Went back indoors and curled up inside its snuggle basket.

OLAHF is trying incredibly hard to moderate its exuberant activities to TYK's smallness. (Takes nothing at all to knock it over.) With the result that when TYK is not around OLAHF goes mentally and physically ballistic with all the pent up energy. Had a fight with a totally innocent leaf which involved leaping up with a hairy twisting motion and landing back where it started from, leaf clutched between its front paws. Backed away and waited until the leaf caught the wind and then annihilated it again. Only stopped when it misjudged the position of a garden fork.

Tail still extremely sore.
