LIFE WITH OUR NEW SLAVES - Part One
They seemed like good slave material to us and so, a couple of weeks later, they collected us and took us to our new home in Bedhampton. They decided to rename us - I became Princess Sykie Southpaw (Sykie for short) as I look cute and I like to lead with my left paw when I hit my brother. He became Professor Longpaw (shortened to Prof) as, with his little patch of black fur under his chin, he looks studious (though looks can be deceiving) and he likes to sit with his paws stretched out in front of him.
We settled in quickly and got our slaves trained easily, with fish every evening at 7o'clock after a snack of cat treats which we have while they sit down for an early evening drink. We are being well fed and they have even bought us lots of toys to play with, my favourite being a little flying man on a spring while Prof likes his feather wand. Our best toys however are a ping pong ball which I bat around the room while Prof is happy batting and carrying screwed up bits of paper - I told you he is not as studious and sensible as our slaves think! He also likes hanging round peoples necks and looking very silly, causing me great embarrassment. I do try and keep him under control with a quick clout but if I do they tend to feel sorry for him. Still, their feelings change when he jumps on me - we do enjoy our little sparring and chasing sessions! We are thoroughly enjoying our new lives and have got our slaves twisted round our little paws!
