It’s Day 88 of the South African lockdown. Today, at long last, Trixie the Melville Kitten (who is actually not a kitten anymore) makes her blogging debut.
From Trixie:
Hello! Hi it’s Trixie! I’m blogging I’m blogging I’m blogging.

I wanted to blog for a long time. Heather said I’m too little. I said I’m two! Big Brother said I’m not smart enough but that’s wrong. I asked asked asked, I said please! They said no no no.
But today Heather said she doesn’t have ideas to blog. Big Brother says he’s cold. He’s at the fire.

Heather said today I can blog. I’m blogging I’m blogging I’m blogging!

Heather says it is lock-down. It has been lock-down for a lot of days. I love lock-down, Heather is here all the time. She feeds me and plays with my string and stays in bed with the hot bottle and I sleep where it’s warm. Lock-down is nice!
Outside I love to climb. I climb in the tree high high high! Heather stands under, she says don’t fall. I don’t fall. I climb and I roll roll roll on the ground. I sneak in the grass and the leaves.

I run in the bathtub and lick the water. I jump in the box. I crawl in the blanket. I creep through the door, the small door only for cats. I eat the yummy food. I run. I run I run I run.
I jump on Big Brother. I want to play! But he won’t. Big Brother is old. I love Big Brother a lot.

I’m tired sometimes. I lay in the sun. I look in the window. I sleep, I have a scary dream! I wake up I’m scared I meow I jump. I run I run I run.

Such a cute cat. I seem to be talking to my cats a lot more during lockdown.
Thank you, yes I am very cute!
Hi Trixie! I have been waiting for your debut! You did very well with your first post.
It’s good that you like the lockdown and that you get to play with Heather a lot. She doesn’t like the lockdown much, but she likes playing with you. So keep up the string-game with her!
Thank you! I love Heather! I love you Catrina!
So glad that Trixie has made her debut ????
Thank you Kyra!
I can’t believe Heather made you wait so long! Your post was delightful.
I love you Autumn ????
Ditto, Trixie.
Loved your post Trixie, but I must say Big Brother is looking rather grumpy today. It must be the cold weather.
He is always grumpy! But I love him.
Trixie, you are a beautiful cat. And you in your box – something reminds me of a lion …
Thank you thank you Margaret.
Trixie, you have found your voice and you are really good at blogging. I love you.
I love you too Di!
