Hi everyone – it’s Allegra! So, last time I wrote, I told you about my two jobs: sheet changer assistant, and Assistant Reiki Practitioner Trainee. Since then, I’ve gotten so much more mature that I’m now helping Mom with her chores, too!
I’m particularly good at helping her clean the house, if I do say so myself. I help her clean the bathroom by jumping on the vanity and supervising as she wipes the mirror clean. Then, when she’s finished, I get really close and press my nose against it to make sure she really got every little streak wiped away. I don’t understand why she doesn’t think it’s helpful to have my noseprint on the newly cleaned mirrow as a kitten seal of approval – I think it looks rather cute! When she’s done with the bathroom, it’s time to dust. This is my favorite part of cleaning the house! Mom uses this fierce-looking thing on a stick that she says is called a lambswool duster. I jump and try to catch it as she moves it around, and when I do, boy, do I beat that beast into submission! Wee!!!
When that’s all done, we get to the part about cleaning the house that I’m not all that crazy about. Mom gets out “The Monster.” There’s just no other word for it. It’s a huge, scary looking contraption and I don’t like anything about it. It has a long grey snake attached to it that moves around, and when I try to attack it, it doesn’t back down at all. And it’s really loud! Mom moves “The Monster” all over the house, and I try to be brave and stare it down, but I won’t let it get too close. It might eat me! It seems to eat everything else in its path. I don’t understand why Mom needs to bring “The Monster” out once a week, I think our house looks just fine as it is. However, it is kind of interesting how smooth the carpet looks after Mom puts “The Monster” away. I can pounce around on it and my paws leave really fun patterns! Wee!!!
By the way, Mom says to tell you that because of me, she uses cleaning products that are safe for me even if I do rub my nose in them like I do when I check the mirror. I love her for always making sure things are good for me.
That’s all for today. I hear my favorite mousie calling.
She turns into a wild woman around the duster, Layla!
Allegra, you look like a fierce huntress with the duster.
Mason, I don’t know too many kitties who like “The Monster.”
Max, aren’t dusters fun?
It sounds like you’re really good at cleaning. You can come help HH clean around here…. We have a neat duster too.
Oh Allegra, it’s always fun to catch up with what’s going on. I think you make a fine assistant in the household cleaning. As for ‘The Monster,’ Gum Drop and Little One both dislike it too. They usually go off into another room from where ‘The Monster’ is. Have fun with the lambswool duster, don’t let it win. 🙂
