I have not written for long. My time passed by so swiftly because of Alfie, our first kitten. When I accepted a colleague’s offer of having a kitten, the first thing in my mind was my partner. He had been dreaming to have at least a cat or a dog in this country and I grabbed this opportunity straight away, it would mean a dream come true for him. Never had it occurred to me that Alfie would be more than a fulfilled dream, Alfie is a blessing from heaven. He is an absolute ‘Joy’!
Alfie does things that make my partner and I so happy every day. He is full of fun and energy. What really makes us laugh is when he plays his small balls like a football player. One day as we were watching him I came up with an idea of calling him a.k.a. David Beckham and the more we laughed with the thought of it. There are so many antics and writing them down would make them sound overrated rather than when you’re watching them in action so I would like to avoid that. Maybe a video cam would be a good idea, my partner and I have agreed.
So far there are two most significant things other than my career that I am blessed with when I arrived in this country. One is when I met my partner who has made me changed my lifestyle from spending beyond my means, meaning that I can afford not to work too many hours and only if I choose to and two is Alfie who has brought out that hidden child in me. There has not been a boring day with Alfie and I have been playing with him since day one. With this happiness in mind I remembered my dearest cousin, Terry Deblois, the first person in my life whom I‘ve known to love cats so much. We grew up together and I could see her in my imagination, kissing her cats. That was so absurd to me considering my obsessive compulsive nature. Only to realise now what I have missed.
Our precious Alfie is such a beautiful creature and having his joyful and soulful company is one of the best things that ever happened to us this year, 2011. If only I could I would never live without Alfie or a cat again.
In fact as I am writing this blog Alfie’s dozing on my lap with his head resting on my right lower arm, quiet hard to type but he is so sweet, he can get away from it as a cat always do. That thought alone makes me laugh.
This blog is dedicated to my dearest partner,Las and my cousin,Titz, my two lovely and beloved children, Tj and Pau, my gorgeous grandchildren, Ice and Lester, and most of all to our precious little Alfie. Last but not least to my beautiful and kind colleague, Sonya who gifted Alfie to us.
