1: Horrible, horrible, horrible!

OKAY, OKAY! SO run off sobbing, but I did not kill that moth on purpose. It was not my fault. I do agree that I reached out to biff it once or twice. But it was annoying me, flapping round and round my face.

And Im not sure that its dead anyway I mean I saw it sort of flapping off - photo 3

And Im not sure that its dead anyway. I mean, I saw it sort of flapping off, looking a bit lopsided. But after that it disappeared. For all I know, the things still somewhere in the house, minding its own business and mucking about wherever it wants.

Unlike me, locked in this garage in disgrace, after a horrible Christmas.

So go on ask me Dear dear Tuffy why was your Christmas so horrible And Ill - photo 4

So go on ask me Dear dear Tuffy why was your Christmas so horrible And Ill - photo 5

So go on, ask me. Dear, dear Tuffy, why was your Christmas so horrible?

And Ill explain: because it is a festival that wasnt made for cats. Just think about it. Theres a tree were not allowed to climb.

And there are tempting dangly decorations were not allowed to touch.

And there are glorious glittering strands of bright, bright tinsel hung far too high for us to reach. Shiny wrapped presents we have to keep our paws off.

And, if were really unlucky, horrible cold white snow all over the garden.

No. Not my favourite time of year.

So go on. Ask the next question. But, Tuffy, what on earth happened? How come youve ended up locked in the garage?

Ill tell you It was because this Christmas was even worse than usual This - photo 6

Ill tell you. It was because this Christmas was even worse than usual. This Christmas was terrible.

Frightful.

Awful.

Miserable.

All wrong.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Thats what it was.

Ill tell you the whole story.

2: Oh, goody gumdrops! Hoppers!

THE CAR DREW up outside and out they all spilled, as usual. Our Christmas visitors. Thats Ellies Aunt Ann, her husband, Brian, and the soppy twins.

I hate having visitors. They park their bottoms in the comfiest chairs. They dump their suitcases in all my favourite corners. They rattle their clothes around in the cupboards I like to use to take a quiet nap. Their stupid great feet keep stumbling over my food dish.

But Ellie loves company. She couldnt wait to rush out of the house to greet her cousins. Lucilla! Lancelot! Oh, Im so glad youre here!

She might have been glad they were here. I have a forkful of brain inside my head so I wasnt quite so keen. As she ran one way, I sneaked off the other to find somewhere good to hide.

I heard them wheel their suitcases inside. Wheres Tuffy? We must say hello to darling, darling Tuffy!

They searched the house But I was stretched out flat on top of the cupboard in - photo 7

They searched the house. But I was stretched out flat on top of the cupboard in the hall. They couldnt find me, so they finally gave up.

Forget Tuffy for a moment, said Lancelot. Lets do something else. Lets play on the bouncy hoppers.

Oh, goody gumdrops! Hoppers!

The three of them rushed off. Phew! I jumped down from the cupboard and went upstairs. The bathroom window was ajar, so I crept out and spent a quiet half hour on the garage roof, secretly watching the three of them bounce up and down the drive, clutching the sticky-up ears. It was a laugh. Ellie kept falling off. But then Lucilla started to sing some half-baked bouncing song that shed made up about sweet little mousies in housies.

It got on my nerves, so I took off. I picked my way along the tree branch and jumped down on the fence.

Lucilla saw me. Tuff-eee! Tuff-eee!

She bounced towards the fence so hard she couldnt stop. Is it my fault the fence is wobbly? I didnt mean to stick my sharp little claws out quite so far to get a grip as I swayed this way and that.

Or keep them out when I fell off the fence, on to her hopper.

Poooooooooooooooooooooof

Okay okay So pump me up with air and tie a knot in me I clawed a hole in - photo 9

Okay, okay! So pump me up with air, and tie a knot in me. I clawed a hole in her hopper. For heavens sake, it was an accident! How was it my fault that it sort of shrivelled under her, and she fell off?
