Dear Diary

Dear diary,

Today a new tom came to the junkyard! I want to meet him! Munkustrap says I'm obnoxious enough already and the tom's a bad influence on kittens, but I'm not a kitten, I'm over a year old. Besides, I've heard Munkustrap telling the others I'm a bad influence, so I know he's talking "stuff-and-nonsense" as Jellylorum would say. I wonder what the new tom's name is?

Sincerely,

Rumpelteazer


Dear diary,

As of today, I'm a Jellicle. I don't think the grey tom likes me very much. I can't remember his name though. I think it was something starting with M, like Monkeyshine or Motleystripes. Anyway, there were so many cats there that it was confusing. The really weird thing was that I thought I saw my mom looking at me, looking how she was when I was a kitten, all young and pretty and stuff. Maybe I was just feeling homesick or something.

Dear diary,

Remember the new tom I told you about? His name is Mungojerrie, and my owners got him from the pound because he looks almost exactly like me. He seems nice. I think we're going to get along well together.

Sincerely,

Rumpelteazer


Dear diary,

I don't know whether this is a good or bad thing, but at least I won't be lonely. One of the other Jellicles, Rumpelteazer, also belongs to my new owners. At least she has a sense of humour, even if she is a bit too bubbly for her own good. Maybe I'll teach her to help me steal, if she can keep quiet enough. She already knows how to break things, at least.

Dear diary,

I'm writing this from my hiding place under Old Deuteronomy's tire. I guess Munkustrap didn't like Mungojerrie - the new tom - and I redecorating the Junkyard. Hehehe.

Sincerely,

Rumpelteazer
