Itchy and scratchy

My coat has felt very itchy lately and I have spent a lot of time rubbing myself on trees and posts.  This is very satisfying but has left me with a lot of bald bits.  The Human says that I look like I have mange.

Apparently, I have inherited mummy's allergy to midge bites, but at the moment I am too small to wear a protective suit like hers. Instead, the Human has been trying to smear me with various creams and gels, but I have shown just how nimble I can be, sprinting round the stable, ducking and diving to avoid the fingerfuls of smelly gloop.
Then, while I was resting after these activities, the Human sneakily fastened a hat onto my head.  You have to watch them.
