Scaredycats

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

It was a debacle of a day today. We were getting a 2nd heat pump installed upstairs. 

This is because our upstairs gets too cold in winter and too hot in summer, so we need something to keep the primary bedroom* at a pleasant temperature. 

Of course, that is also Punky's "safe place" and he did not care for all the tradies coming around. So we had to lock the cats downstairs and I had to keep moving because of all the drilling and banging interrupting meetings. I even had one meeting while sitting on the stairs.

I also tried to meet with some people while sitting at the garden table. Jasper decided to kick off, meowing and meowing and meowing to the point where the other participants commented that I was being attacked by my cat. 

Punky, meanwhile, hid under a blanket in the living room all day.

And in other news, I have started a story for Hani and Zay about Cutie the red panda going to "Rumblecat Island" with his friends for a trip. I see nothing wrong with stealing events from my own life to amuse children.

In the story, Lemon the magic bear calms down excitable kittens by magicking up a relaxing tune. This also causes Captain Dave to fall asleep and they get lost. But other than that, it's all based on fact.

* Caro pointed out to me that people have started using this term instead of "master bedroom". This is the sort of thing that causes rabid right-wingers to scream "WOKE!" and poo their pants. So I've started using it too.
