Dynamic Meladies Performance 8th October 2016 – A Cat’s Eye View

Mummy is a little bit stressed.

We know this because we are highly sensitive animals, completely attuned to her every mood; and because, this morning, she tried to put cherry tomatoes in her porridge.

This is because she has a ‘gig’. We’re not sure what that is exactly. Porshy thinks it might be a bit like a visit to the vet- kind of scary beforehand but quite nice when you’re there; but I think it’s something to do with where she disappears to on a Saturday morning while we have a lie in with Daddy.

Helping With Preparations

It definitely involves singing because she’s been making some very strange noises. At first we thought she was in pain, so we sat on her. Mummy likes this. She says we are “earthing her negative energy”. It’s a dangerous job, but someone has to do it.

We hear the ladies are doing four songs, and Mummy is confident they will go really well but they have to find an extra one. We think it should be something by The Pussycat Dolls, or possibly Cat Stevens; but Auntie Sheena has found a song Mummy has never heard of. Auntie Sheena comes to look after us when Mummy and Daddy are away, and she doesn’t stand for any of our nonsense. Apparently she’s the same with Mummy, because she has to learn the song.

This involves putting plastic things in her ears, and singing the same thing over and over again to music we can’t hear. Sometimes she doesn’t get very far before she says some words we don’t understand and makes a hissing noise that sends us scuttling under the sofa bed. Daddy points out that he doesn’t think those words were in the original and this causes Mummy to make the scary hissing noise at him. He’s too big to get under the sofa bed with us but he consoles himself by going to watch some cute animals on his computer. We love the computer. Sometimes we sit on the keyboard and send brilliant emails to people which look a bit like this.

This is possibly why all of Mummy and Daddy’s friends think they are a little bit strange.

Oh, You Wanted To Wear That Dress...

It has been decided that everyone is wearing red and black. This is clearly as important as knowing the songs and warming up properly. Mummy is looking in her wardrobe for her red dress but I don’t think she knows we’ve eaten it. Fortunately she finds something else so we are spared being sent to our baskets in disgrace. She’s even had a haircut. This must be important. Maybe they are playing the Hydro.

As she leaves, Daddy gives her a kiss and tells her to break a leg. I don’t think he’s forgiven her for the hissing, but telling her to break a leg seems a bit harsh.

Midnight.

Mummy’s home and she’s got her proud face on- the one she does when we use the scratching post instead of the couch. She loves all the ladies, and says they’re all stars. Then she tries to lock the front door with her car keys.

I think she must have another ‘gig’ coming up.
