Well, today was a surprise because the humans came in and just opened our door and left it standing wide open! I was first out the door, but I stood there for a moment looking back at Mum. She got up, stretched, and decided she'd better come too. Then we all started off down the long narrow room.

I sniffed at the door that had been open the other day, but it was shut and I couldn't push it open. One of the other rooms further down had an open door, though. So we all gathered round the opening and looked into the room. Stripy One slowly walked in and we followed him. The floor was smooth, like the smooth bit in our room, and there were all sorts of exciting smells. I'm sure I could smell food. But it was a hot smell and I thought it was wonderful.

Maybe if we Play Cute they might offer us some of it. I was sure I could smell meat, but it was hot and that did strange things to the scent. Then one of the humans (the man) took out a little white ball and bounced it along the floor. We all jumped on it and batted it around the room and almost forgot the delicious smells. And Mum just sat at the side looking at us. She seemed happy enough and we were having fun.

The humans did offer us little bits of warm meat and it was the most wonderful thing I have ever tasted. And they put us back in our room and we fell asleep almost immediately. We wanted to suckle from Mum but she didn't let us this time. That was OK because we really weren't hungry, so we just curled up in a big ball of kittens like we used to when we were little. We aren't so little now. We must be growing bigger. Even Black Kitten.
