Peanut is the One
hi i peanut i little but i old.
granmar sez it my turna write a story but i don’t know how so i write de truf.
one time der was a cat who lived alone inna upstairs. one day de food lady opened de door at de bottom of de stairs so other cats could come up.
de other cats sniffed around, but de one cat hid an dey couldn’t find her. lafflafflaff
de one cat only came out when de other cats were away an she didn’t like de smell of other cats in her place it made her scared an sad.
so granmar i mean de food lady put de other cats downstairs an closed de door again an de one cat came out and was happy again.
after dat, de one cat went to de door at de bottom of de stairs an de other cats smelled her an one of dem growled an hissed and hit de door an de one cat did too an de one cat went back upstairs and laid down in her own room an was happy.
an dat’s all

May 3, 2026 at 9:16pmI have to admit I really like Peanut. I feel for her but she’s also a feisty little one when…there’s a door in the way. 😀 But the fact that she ‘fought’ back is a good sign. Do you know who was the aggressor on the other side of the door? Anyway, if Peanut is happy, that’s all that matters. 🙂

May 4, 2026 at 7:58amThe aggressor was either Chickie or Adi. Both of them came into view from that direction, but I don’t know if one or both of them was after Peanut, or if one was after her and the second one smacked the first one out of habit or what. As you say, Peanut is happy. Peanut is over the moon! She’s been ten times happier since then. I can hear her galloping all over the upstairs, and I can see her chilling in the middle of her playroom floor. I wish I could scoop her up and love on her, but she doesn’t crave that, so I have to do without. The other cats make up for it. The other morning, I woke up with Tipper on my left, licking my left arm, and Chickie on my right, licking my left arm. Adi was just waiting for me to get up and sit down so she could smother my legs. 😀
