Hello Dougal,
We just finished reading When We Were Kittens, because we loved your Diary and didnt realise you had a website until Mum went to see if she could find Man so we could say thank you.It's Way cool for a cat to have a website. Love your books, will you be writing another one about what's happening to you know your more grown up? Happy walks from Anna and Jack
Hello Anna and Jack: lovely to hear from you. I have to get Man to type for me because paws are no good on keypads, but he speaks Cat reasonably well so he can translate for us. It's very pleasing to hear from p[eople who like my books. I never expected to write more than one, so it's possible there may be more. The main thing with WWWK was to make it so we thought it was better being grown-up cats. Mind you, we were only two at the time. Now we are three I suppose we're REALLY grown up. So maybe we will look at the world differently again later.
Thanks for chatting. I have to go and guard the house again. There is a very rude new cat down the street and I have to explain The Rules to her. Best wishes
Dougal
Dear Jack and Anna
you said somewhere else:
" it is a bit sad that the girl cats are mostly snooty or naughty."
That is a fair point, but the books are from my point of view after all. Shadow says I am a bit overbearing and she may well be right. WHat I hope you picked up from WWWK is that Belladonna behaves like an older woman does. She has no time for being soppy but she gives me good advice when I really need it. And she was so kind to me when I was feeling really sad. I am so grateful for that. She is a good, kind cat and it is a pleasure to protect her. Maybe boy cats are soppy and emotional and girl cats are sensible and loving. SO don't think i don't love both my girl cats. They are very loveable!
