In the living room, there’s a big green chair which my Girl Human likes to sit on while I’m out of the cage. Sometimes she lets me sit on her legs, but she never lets me climb over her computer and give my input in her emails and message boards, and she never lets me climb up onto the arms of the chair.

Just the same, Boy Human used to let me on the couch until I started exploring over the edge. These two pieces of furniture are next to each other; behind the chair is a big empty space which I’ve never had the opportunity to explore. Obviously there’s something very exciting over there which the humans want to keep secret from me!

So it’s been my quest to find a way to the other side of the chair. They don’t let me on the couch anymore, but I think that’s more because I tend to get really excited about my proximity to the mysterious Behind The Chair and poop everywhere. I’ve lately been scurrying underneath the chair. At first I just laid down and basked in my dark hole, content enough that I had a little corner to get away and hide in. Then it dawned on me that I could probably burrow through the walls of the Underneath to get to the Back!

It was a very exciting discovery, so I tried. Every time they allowed me out of the cage, I’d run straight to my place Underneath and made more progress digging. I couldn’t let them think I was plotting anything, so I’d only spend about fifteen minutes of my time down there. (Afterwards, I’d continue my regular routine.)

At last! I’d found a way through. Unfortunately I can’t take the credit; I didn’t dig an opening. It was already there, but I hadn’t noticed it before. It wasn’t big enough, though, so I spent the next few days trying to stretch it out a bit. Seemed to be a piece of fabric loosely attached to the wood that holds the chair up. It didn’t seem too difficult…

…Until I went back down there and found that it had been taped shut. Curses!

I spent the whole time out trying to fix it. They tried to lure me with something orange, but it was too sweet for me. I didn’t like it at all. (I do like that leafy green stuff they used to give me, though.)

Today, though, today’s the kicker. Today I know that it’s not by accident that my opening was taped shut, inaccessible, after all my hard work. Today there is a large piece of cardboard in the way, and I can’t even get to the Underneath! I tried tearing it up, thinking perhaps my humans had implemented an obstacle course for me (knowing how much I like those), but no - it’s impenetrable. They did this on purpose!

I was upset with them for a short while, pretty huffy at that, but I suppose that it must be either a today-only thing, or they really don’t want me back there. Maybe that’s where they keep my green leafy things, though. Going to try again tomorrow.
