Poor Hat was beaten by Max early this morning. Hat came in at 8am, and had a small breakfast. While he was leaving, Max chased after him playfully and there was a scruffle and some screams. Hat jumped out from the window, and almost landed in the lap of Myanmar neighbour who was putting on his shoes. Both cat and human jumped in fright. Hat ran away, and the human was not injured. Max was given a smack on the rump.

This Max had been on high spirits. Last night after the countdown and fireworks, Hat and Spencer had conked out but he was still jumping about with tail held high and wanting to go out to the corridor again. Now he is playing soccer like there is no tomorrow.

Drizzling and overcast, a gloomy start to the New Year.
