Daisy: Wonderful Scents

Sometimes I wonder about weather. The smell of grass in the morning. It's different when it's early morning dew or if it's afternoon rain. If the sun is shining, it's one smell. I'm fortunate that as a cat I can smell all these wonderful scents that surround us. Can you smell it too? There are some wonderful scents in the garden. One plant makes my head funny, but it smells so great!

I remember the first thing I ever smelled. It was my mother's fur. She was a beautiful lady, but a bit neglected. She wasn't treated badly, she just wasn't paid much attention to. Neither was I. There was the time of being a kitten and everything, but it was never a great deal done to look after us. We were fed, that was about it.

I remember my mum's soft fur. It was warm, safe and comforting when I was little. As I got older, I found new scents. I even found the scent of kittens of my own. Did I smell the same to them as my mother did to me?

I have smelled buses, cars and trains, and even the cargo hold of an airplane. Now I smell summer's coming, and I smell home. The scent of night. The chill. Night has a smell, did you know that? It smells of darkness and dew and silence. It's great!

My bed is another great smell, and I think it's almost time to go and smell it now. Good night.
