Text Appearing Before Image:
8-3°- Ate breakfast with difficulty. Have no appetite. 0-3S- Ate kittens breakfast. 8.36- An affair with the cat (the kittens mother). But I soon leave her, as the coward does not fight fair, using claws.
Text Appearing After Image:
(gfc, 9-0- Washed by Mary. A hateful business. Put into a tub, and rubbed all over—mouth, tail, and everywhere—with filthy soapy water,that loathsome cat looking on all the while, and sneering inher dashed superior way. I dont know, I am sure, whythe hussy should be so conceited. She has to clean her-self. I keep a servant to clean me. At the same time Ioften wish 1 was a black dog. They keep clean somuch longer. Every finger-mark shows up so frightfullyon the white part of me. I am a sight after Cook has been stroking me. 9.30. Showed myself in my washed state to the family. All very nice to me. Quite a triumphal entry, in fact. Itis simply wonderful the amount of kudos Ive got fromthat incident with the man. Miss Brown (whom Irather like) particularly enthusiastic. Kissed me againand again, and called me a dear, clean, brave, sweet-smelling little doo-o-ie.
