More about my brother, Ten
I’ve mentioned Ten in an earlier post, so I guess I should tell you some more about him.
Ten is a big fluffy ginger cat. He’s about eleven years old now, but isn’t showing many signs of age apart from a slightly sagging belly (though usually it’s too full to sag much).
Mum got him from a pet shop. She normally takes in boarders from the local shelters, but she had her heart set on a ginger cat and couldn’t resist Ten when she saw him. She says now, however, that is was the biggest mistake of her life.
Ten is a bit of a bully, though generally he and I get along well. He bosses poor Jennie around and steals her food. He steals mine too, but I don’t mind too much because I can usually manage to get Mum to share hers with me.
Most people think Ten is very cute. That’s because he’s on his best behaviour when they come to visit. But those of us who have to live with him all the time know the truth. He digs holes in the furniture, scratches the bedpost in the early hours of the morning demanding to be fed, and puts great big gobs of cat fur all over the place. And he snores!
We’ve voted him out several times now, but he won’t go. We can’t even get his number one fan to take him–he always gives us lame excuses about not being home enough to look after Ten.
If you want him, get in touch with us. Mum says to tell you we’ll even pay for shipping overseas.
