Month: July 2020

I think I walked in on Kaz at the wrong moment – she was waggling her chest at one of the screens she watches movies on – and she obviously knew what she was doing …. because she looked a little embarrassed when she saw that I was watching her.  As it turned out, she was watching “Jurassic Park” – and they were up to the part where they were showing the merchandise that would be available as part of the franchise – and what she was waggling at the screen was the Jurassic Park tee-shirt she was wearing.  It is one of her favourite ones and it looked as though it had taken her a little by surprise to realise she was wearing it … and watching it.  Given the amount of times she has watched films in the franchise though, the law of averages said it was only a matter of time before the two coincided.  And once she finished “Jurassic Park”, you know she started watching the next one … and I know she’s just going to keep going.

She still had time to sneak outside and bring in the rest of the washing while I was sleeping though.  I’m glad she did because once she had it inside, Sooz folded it up … and then because Kaz couldn’t make it fit into the Manchester cupboard (I know she has plans for re-folding and re-arranging things in there), she popped the towels and sheets into Sooz’s “office” – and that was where she and Sooz found me later this evening (after they watched the Semi-Final of MasterChef … and yes, there may have been tears there!).
It’s actually not bad being a cat here – most of the time.  They let me eat what I want – most of the time.  They let me sleep where I want – most of the time.  But they are still locking me out of the bedroom at night, even though I have been trying to show them that I actually can sleep in the bedroom without giving them – or Kaz’s sleeping machine – grief.

They know I am intelligent though … as well as cute … and this evening Kaz has me doing something she calls an “intelligence test”.  This comes about because I had my stringey thing out with my dinner bowls and I knocked the soft squishy birdy part under the washing machine … and now before I can take it to them to get them to play with it with me, I have to work out how to get it out from under there.  Kaz said she isn’t going to help me because she knows I can do it … although I think it’s really because she knows that if I can’t get it out, I can’t take it to her and Sooz to make them play with me.   Hmmmmm.  I think Kaz even hides my stringey things in the box sometimes so I won’t know where to look for them! 

I don’t know what’s up with Kaz but she has certainly taken her eye off the ball with my blog. I’ll give her the rest of this week but if she isn’t back on deck by Monday there will be a HELP WANTED ad in the local paper! Until it gets sorted out one way or another, here are some photos!

Get this thing off me … get this thing off me right now!  Yes, that’s right … there’s a new harness in the house.  It arrived today – and within minutes of Kaz finding it here (she was out when it arrived) she had the packet open and was trying to slip it on me.  I resisted as best I could but she got the better of me … this time.  I was out of it fairly quickly though … I reached up behind me with one of my paws and yanked that sucker off.  Well … well … well … it seems that it’s on … the battle of wits … Kaz versus me.  I know who my money’s on!  

Meanwhile, I’m not sure why, but Kaz is doing what she calls an “experiment”.  She’s making notes on the whiteboard on the refrigerator and everything!  She now has 8 different brands of cat food and she’s letting me try them one at a time to see which of them I love more (or as she says “at least eat”).  

It has been busy around here lately … I’ve been busy playing “cuddles and kisses” with Kaz … not quite sure why she doesn’t enjoy it as much as I do.  It’s cooler these days as well – which means I get to spend some time in the evenings in with Sooz on her electric blanket … before they throw me out of the bedroom so I have to spend my nights alone, on the couch … but at least they put a blanket on the couch for me to sleep on, or is that in.  Sooz even comes up to make sure I am nice and cosy and warm.  She’s lovely.  At least once of them is. Kaz is still taking photographs of me of course … a lot.  I do try different poses for her though, just to keep her interested.  I might even let her take a photograph of me in the new harness … but she’s going to have to work for it.
