Baby on Board

We have a baby on board! Mum was in hospital for four days and we didn't see much of dad either. He came back to feed us and took off again as soon as our bowls were down. We were so glad to have them both home again. Here we are waiting for dad on the dock.
We weren't really sure what the baby was at first. And then it moved! And then it made a noise! I went over for a sniff. Mum told me the baby is called Joshua. Here I am helping to put Joshua to bed.
I really like Joshua but Pepe is still undecided...
To celebrate our new arrival I thought I'd get mum and dad a present. I waited until we had visitors (so it would be an extra special gift). For some reason nobody seemed to appreciate the bird I brought in. "Carlos, drop the bird", my dad said. Since I am a good cat, I did as I was told, but of course the bird went flying off around the cabin causing everyone to duck and making poor baby Joshua cry. Luckily it flew outside after a couple of minutes, by which time nobody was speaking to me.
A few days later I tried another approach. This time I got mum and dad a nice cockroach, but once again nobody seemed to like it. In fact mum FREAKED!!! Dad wasn't fast enough to kill the cockroach before it disappeared and mum was very upset. I was really unpopular for a while but I redeemed myself the next day by hunting the cockroach down so dad could finally get rid of it.
I think I'll leave the presents for now and just concentrate on helping out around the home. Here I am giving mum moral support while she feeds our new baby boy.
