A Day in the Life of Orient the Cat 

6.00am 

- Orient comes into my room and drinks from the cup that was specifically for myself to drink when i wake up in the night. He looks up at me asleep in bed and sniggers. He turns to leave walking straight past his water bowl that seems specifically designed to gather dust.

6.26am
After scoffing his jellied slop in his bowl he decides it's time to pay me a visit. That this visit is in the middle of the pillows where my face is pointed is purely coincidental and not a ploy to wake me up. 
8.50am 

After trying and failing to wake me up he deploys the "noshing" on his lower regions tactic which wakes me up to a satisfied cat grin 20cm away from my face.

11am


Orient Meows for the 30th time today whilst i try and figure out what it is he's asking for. "I've just fed him, he's got a clean tray, he's got water" I think. I open the back door for him and he immediately makes his way for the table at the end of the garden and begins sun worshiping. (We like to call the back table his office, part of a complicated work life that we have made up over time. That'll have to be told on another post though.)

1.21pm 
Crisp and ripe, Orient returns from the sun to go and visit his tray (not before meowing and running round the house telling us all of his impending poop.) Satisfied he's told everyone he makes his way to the tray. Afterwards he goes back to his spot in the sun, content that even though he has the whole garden and the side of the house where there is plentiful grass and hiding places he chose to leave his deposit in the house. Orient takes a deep inhale of breath, savoring it's freshness. His owners arn't so lucky.


3.30pm
Orient goes on a hunt of treats around this time starting with the ferret food, he quickly shrugs off the idea due to the food being too high up and the idea of climbing the side of the cage past the jaws of the ferret wasn't worth the chicken flavoured brown pellets. Rats food is not an option as flat peas and maize mixed in with the occasionally okay rat nuggets also wasn't worth the effort of picking through them, although the Rat nuggets bag alone may be worth a pop at later, JACKPOT is on top of the dresser. Now, whilst he is a regular visitor of the china figures, he can't reach the top, so starts to meow avidly and angrily until someone comes along and gives in. He FNARS then goes to his office at the end of the garden feeling king like.

3.53pm 


"ACCHOOO" "MOWWW" ... "Sorry Orient" "MOWWWW" "I said sorry" ""MOW" "I SAID I'M SORRY!" *incoherent meowgrumble* This happens on every occasion where a sneeze is within 6 meters of Orient. With every Meow they become smaller, even more annoyed and angry until it's just an incohent noise. It's like he must have the last word. I imagine those words to be "SHUT UP","SHUT UP" ... "Shut up" ... "Shhhhh" and ...."fool"

5.40pm 
Orient loves to chew on bags. Whilst a quite disturbing habit it's also one that his humans actively discourage, especially when you go to the local Tesco to find your bags have kitty slob and some form of foam which makes you shudder to your inner core. I'm sure he only does this activity so that new bags come in the house. It's not really Tesco or Sainsburys bags he goes for though. He likes the cheapest nastiest thinnest bags you can only find in a crappy cheap shop or a late night offie. The ones with the most dreadful smell of rubber seem to please him to point of no return. Has decided that my cat is a kinky MP.

5.45pm
Has been told by human that he is a kinky MP

7pm
Hovers over dinner plates and gets told to get down so proceeds to complain by calling everyone wankers.

10.52pm 
Watches Beauty ( The older Cat ) walk in. Orient takes a whiff of the back end telling her "it's okay i know what i'm doing i'm a vet" then does his "open mouthed stare into nowhere high on crack" face. Orient follows her to the kitchen.

3.31am 
Jumps up with Beauty on the bookshelf and dreams a dream of cats bums and all you can eat Applaws cat food. Thinking to himself, it wont be long before i need a drink of water from my lovely humans cup that she left for me beside her bed. *snigger*

"They see him Rollin' they hatin'"
