But no worries, I have teeth, something I’ve demonstrated to the human. Twice.
I’ve settled in quickly, having made a nest, tried the food and water, and chewed the paper lining the new stripy see through home. The paper is from the Guardian, so not a total loss. I’ve also discovered that the round thing in my cage moves when I do, so I have decided to use it for my exercise regime. At least the physical part.
The mental exercise comes in the form of trying to “escape” and scaring the life out of the human. I’ve been here two days and I’ve disappeared twice. I’m actually a little disappointed in how easy it is. Seems the human has some concentration problems. Though, I have discovered that the sofa is full of tasty crumbs and that the door out of the main room doesn’t shut properly. All good information.
So this is my life now, away from the busy hustle of the “pet” shop and into the quieter day to day activities of a human house. The music isn’t great, and the human is semi-nocturnal so I don’t get as much time to plan world saving initiatives as before, but still, I do get to run around in a the round thing a lot so, I’m willing to stick around for a bit.
