Shhh. The monkeys went away and left me, so I’m hiding out behind the green sitting bench. Hee hee! The monkey lady couldn’t find me this morning because my hiding skills are so effective. I guess she was pretty frantic; I don’t know, I was asleep under this flap thing at the back of the bench. It’s like a green cave back there. I’m invisible unless the flap gets lifted up, like she did after looking back there 3 other times.

She seemed pretty happy to see me, though. Which is only right and proper, because I am the cat of the house now. She fed me some extra food and took care of my “business.” Of course. Kept repeating my name a lot again, too. It’s like a mania with her. Except now, my name’s a little longer. Weird.

Last night I was graciously accepting all the attention and so forth, and of course giving plenty in return. Then the monkeys turned all the lights off. It was nice and cuddly, but a little warm. I was restless, and not wishing to disturb them further, I went down the stairs thing to explore quietly some more.

This morning, there was more rapturous snuggling. I hopped up to see what they were doing and to ask what time I might expect my breakfast. They seemed to like that best of all! And then I got some nice food from the monkey lady. The monkey man made a big noise and went away, which is when I ran and hid so well. Then some more snuggling and this weird flashy thing kept going off right in my face, which was not so great. But there are lots of windows here that look outside, so I think that’ll keep me occupied for a while.

Then the monkey lady made a big noise and went away, too. So now’s my chance to investigate my new environs thoroughly. I’ve prepared one or two little surprises for when the monkeys return to punish them for leaving me alone, however. That’ll teach them to respect Riley Gibbs from now on.
