The Birthday Cake

Mumu's birthday. Oscar must have known we'd be going over to visit her today and he'd be left alone. He obviously decided to get his revenge in first by waking me at 4.30 am by pirouetting from a great height onto my groin area.

I sat up, tears in my eyes, pain in my groin and the need for vengeance in my heart. It was agony. I got up very gingerly, and walking like a horseless John Wayne, made my way to the kitchen.

I thought about applying a frozen pack of peas to the affected area and rapidly decided against it in view of the already lowered winter temperature. Oscar was eating from a small dish of food left out by Grizelda. Oh, the temptation to bin it and stick my tongue out at him was great, but I managed to restrain myself.

I was sitting in the lounge with a cup of tea when Oscar sauntered in and settled on my lap as though he belonged there. With only a swift glance up at my face he fell asleep, and I, fool that I am, started stroking him. The pain receded and I started to feel better.

I must have nodded off too as I woke with a start when Lady J came through with a coffee. “I didn't realise you were up David” she said, “As you didn't bring me a drink through.”

“I didn't want to disturb Oscar dear” I tried, and felt very foolish when I realised he's gone.
