Chloe
I love the upstairs bedrooms as I get to sit at the big windows & watch the world go by. I am bouncing up and down the stairs - who would have thought that I could manage this well with my three legs. My new mum has brought me this fabulous tower that I can scratch and not hear the word no! I love purring cuddles before bed but I don't think Mum was impressed on my first two nights when I wanted them at 2 am. I am all good now as I snuggle up beside her instead. Living my best life!
