Tom on Tuesday: New Family Member

Mama's been bad. She went out to Ikea and brought back an unwelcome creature. We already have a hard time trying to assimilate cats from two continents but now there's another species in the house. The girls went all "eeeuuuwww" upon seeing it while the boys....hmmm.....strangely they seem to like it. Especially me. Weird, I admit but I like its plush body.

I was minding my own business on the study desk when....

....suddenly a squeaky voice said: Hi Tom. May I be your friend?

Hey...don't bite my tail if you wanna be my friend, I said.

OK, I won't bite your tail but I can climb you, right? the squeaky thing added.

Oooohhh...I love you my new friend, said I. I love you too, Tom, it reciprocated.

He ain't heavy...he's my nip mousie....
