Pablo

words and illustration

by Sophia Hammond

Our friend Lindsay left for South America and asked us to watch her cat Pablo for the next two weeks.

When he first arrived, he was a little nervous. So he ran straight for a hiding place under our bed.

After a couple of hours, Pablo was comfortable so he went exploring for his food and water bowls.

Lindsay told us not to let Pablo outside for the first week. So Pablo would just stare out the window.

At first, we weren't excited about the smell from Pablo's litter box. But eventually we got over it.

Pablo found two comfortable spots to rest; one was on our couch in the living room....

...and the other was his favorite seat cushion in the dining room that he stole from my Mom.

His favorite hobby in our house is to stretch and scratch like crazy!

Pablo's other favorite hobby is to sit and stare out the window on his cat bed.
