When David met
Myhr
(mum's comments in
brackets).
I first saw Myhr in the
lift and he said, "hi I'm Jamie" and I was too scared to say
anything.
Then I saw him again when
mummy was selling books. I found a table with little bowls
of brown and white sugar cubes and I was eating them when
Myhr crept up on me and made me jump when he tapped me on
the shoulder and I ran off.
When we were at the
auction he was walking about and I kept trying to trip him
up and he kept meowing every time that he saw me.
He came with us when we
went to the caves and when we were going I showed him my
watch that my brother John has got now for when he goes
fishing. Before we went to the caves Myhr went outside of
the hotel and went for a walk on his own and everyone
wondered where he had gone. Then when we went to the caves
Gwen thought he was at the front of the people, but mummy
said he wasn't and Gwen ran outside to find him and he was
just coming. We all thought he had got lost.
Mummy asked Myhr how old
he was and he told her he was eleven and she said that he
would have to find himself a mate so that he could have some
kittens to follow in his footsteps. He said, 'No, no, no.' I
don't know why 'cos I think kittens are sweet.
In the caves I held the
torch so that every one could see everything.
Myhr asked me asked how
old I was and I said I was five and he told me that he was
five too but he was only joking.
Then later he was right
at the front of the seats and I ran through the middle and
tapped him on the shoulder when he was bent down and I said
to him I bet your eyes are hurting from wearing that mask
all day.
And he said that they
were.
And on Sunday he crept up
on me at breakfast and said meow in my ear.
That night at the buffet
I was running and skidding on the dance floor and he grabbed
me and threw me into the air until I was upside down, and my
tee shirt fell down and everyone could see my tummy and I
screamed.
When I went back to
school no one would believe me, and mummy said she would
give me a photograph of him to take to school but she never
did. (Oops - thought I had).
I can't wait to go to the
caves again.
(When I told David that
Myhr would be reading this he said to tell him;)
"I wasn't really scared
when you crept up on me I was only pretending
(Yeah right)
I like your cat mask and
I like your name Myhr when you are a cat and I liked it when
you meowed at me.
And I want to see you
again some time.
Meow.
'What goes meeee -
oooow?'
Myhr on a
motorbike."
