A Branchless Tree and a Gloating Princess

Princess Maple and I discovered  a new and glorious high-point of the palace! (We’ve lived in the palace since we were babies, so it is a smidge of an embarassment that it has taken us eight months to notice this purr-ticular high-point, which has practically been under our noses the whole time.) No matter, though – the most important thing is that we found it! If not for the tree that Miss. Meezer’s father made especially for us, we many never have noticed! (Yay for Grampa Meezer!)

The tree doesn’t have branches and leaves like the trees outside, but it smells like a tree and feels like a tree! I kind of wish it did have branches, because then I could climb all the way to the top without having to yowl for the boy’s help. (He’s usually not far though, and he never minds giving me a little push to the top). Princess Maple, on the other hand, is so tiny that she can actually balance at the very top of the tree without even falling. She rubs this in every chance she gets. (For the record – I don’t think gloating is very becoming of a Princess.)

  Here, you can see Princess Maple perched from the new high-point. (Can you see her gloating? She’s definately gloating.)

  I overheard Miss. Meezer telling a friend that she plans on getting some type of special rope to wind around the tree so that Fargo (that’s me) can climb the tree, too. I can’t wait! (We’ll just see who’s gloating then, now won’t we!) For now, Princess Maple seems to think that she’s the Queen of the castle. Just look at her in this photo. Shameless gloater. Pfft.

  Eventually, Maple got a little loney at the top. (I guess this must be where that expression comes from.) She joined me on common ground below, and then Miss Meezer built us a fort. 

  I’ll admit, at first I wanted to be petty and have the fort all to myself. (My feelings were still sore from Princess All-That-And-A-Bag-Of-Chips making fun of my weight).

  But then, Miss Meezer gave me a soothing belly rub and reminded me that I was a gentle and beautiful boy… so naturally, my hasty-side softened and I invited Maple to join me in the fort.

  Later, Princess Maple apologized for being a gloating Princess, and I apologized for secretly wishing she would fall from the tree. (*snicker*) Then, we curled up in our favourite chair and napped for a long time. (All that playing tuckered us out.) 

 My next entry… I shall tell you more about the Boy.  :)
