![]() She’d made up for it when the snow thawed, spending most of her Christmas money from Grandma on cat toys. It had been the snowiest Christmas for twenty years, so Ella hadn’t been able to go out and buy Fluff a Christmas present. She had a feeling that Ella and her dad had gone a bit over the top in the pet shop.Īfter Fluff had run away from the farm to escape being taken home by a horrible boy who wanted to feed her to next door’s German shepherd dog, Ella and her family had finally found her again a couple of days before Christmas. The basket was huge! Fluff liked to lie up against one edge of it, to make it seem a bit smaller. You’ll get too big for your basket.įluff delicately nibbled the prawn-flavoured treat out of Mum’s hand, and pranced back to her basket. Fluff sprang out of her basket in half a second, standing on tiptoe with her paws against the cupboard door, scrabbling to get closer. She reached for the packet of cat treats on the counter. Ella’s mum stroked the silky fur on Fluff ’s tummy, and laughed. Fluff purred at the attention, and waved her paws idly. Now she fussed over Fluff almost as much as Ella did. She would have liked one.) But when she’d seen how upset Ella was, and understood that she really was old enough to look after a kitten properly, she’d changed her mind. (Fluff was a little sad that Ella didn’t have a goldfish, actually. When she and Ella first met Fluff at the farm where she’d been born, Mum had called Fluff a dirty, scruffy little kitten, and told Ella she could have a goldfish instead. ![]() She hadn’t wanted Ella to have a cat at first. Was there any chance of a snack? Ella’s mum reached down to tickle her behind the ears. She needed to keep her energy up, after all, for when Ella got home from school and wanted to play.Įlla’s mum walked past, and Fluff opened one eye thoughtfully. She was planning to spend as much of the afternoon as possible like this. The basket was in a patch of winter sunshine, and it was deliciously cosy. Fluff was getting bigger, just not very fast. Her little body only took up one corner of the basket. She wasn’t deeply asleep, just dozing, with her paws tucked under her chin. Fluff the kitten was lying in her basket on her back, showing off her furry tummy and snoring a little.
