My cat hates me
No, really, I think she does! Not only have I shut her out of the bedroom for the last few nights leaving her with no warm feet to sleep on but I’ve been vacuuming which makes an awful noise, and tidying up to leave her with less lovely piles of soft clean clothing to curl up on and brushing her and then today, just when the indignity of it couldn’t get much worse…. I go and squirt something cold and wet on the back of her neck….. she won’t come near me now! Am hoping that between the overly scented powder that I’ve put on the carpets to kill what’s still there and the highly recomended flea drops we should be clear soon!
And currently spread all over Aprilia’s very clean, fragrant floor is the contents of my bribery drawer which has spurred her to work really hard this morning! First she did the second half of a "non verbal reasoning paper" having taken several wailing attempts at doing the first half last week, it would appear that she needed a while for that bit of her brain to wake up 
She’s worked through a full Stile Number book (pretty easy but involved reading number words and spotting number sequences etc which she’s not confident with although perfectly able to do) and 2 week’s worth of Sonlight’s blue reading book (which will mean nothing to most of you!) which has been sitting round for far too long. It’s deadly boring you see…. but now that reading is beginning to click she can at least see that all she needs now is practice and then she’ll be rattling through those damned Fairy books that are ammassing on her shelves.
She’s currently having a bit of TV time which may signal the end of any structured bits for the day or could just be a bit of a rest before she sets to again. I need to scan the next non verbal reasoning paper so I can print it off for her - it’s a bit small in the books, scanning it means I can increase the size by about 1/3 which makes all the difference when it comes to spotting differences etc. and means it can go onto yellow paper which does dreadful things to my eyes but is wonderful for her. and I need to order some more reading rulers for her, the one and only yellow one that she has is getting mighty scratched, I’m amazed she can see any words through it!
