a wolf angel is not a good angel

Matilda is very happy, especially when my guests leave the house so it can be just me and her, and Sammy hiding in the closet. Sammy is less happy, I think. He wants something, but I don’t know what. I think he wants to go outside, or he did — he’s stopped going near the doors, probably because it’s so cold. Maybe he misses the other cats. Or having more people to give him attention. I don’t know what he misses, really, but something. I feel like I ought to be apologising to him.

And to Matilda, who will be brought back to my parents’ house tonight because I am going to be away next week. Sorry, kitten.
