Month: October 2020

Oh my goodness … are normal services never going to resume around here? You would have thought that after their holiday, Sooz and Kaz would have been rested, refreshed … and ready to do my bidding. Not so much. It’s like I have to retrain them. Finally, today, I did manage to get Kaz to do some note-taking for me. About time I say … but not too loudly unless Kaz wanders off to work on her Ravi road trips blog.

Otherwise they have been looking after me nicely since my return although I’d prefer it if Kaz would move my transport box (which looks surprisingly like a cage) back outside to wherever she found it. I’m sure (am I really?) that she doesn’t actually mean to keep me on edge – as if the thunder and lightening of this week’s storms aren’t doing that enough!

I finally got to meet this Roz person they go on about. She’s nice enough – and she did give me a lovely massage. Was it better than Aunty M’s face rubs? What do you think? (See what I did there?)

During one of the storms this week, I found a new friend … or it would have been had they let me out to do a proper introduction. They didn’t … so I’m just going to call him Kermit! Kermit the frog. I didn’t want to be horrible to him – we would have played, had a few laughs, hung out for a while.  Try as I might, though, I wasn’t able to get them to let me out. I had suspected they trusted me not – and now I know for sure!  I may have to have a word with them about the trust relationship MiMi (MAN*) and Aunty M have.  I’ve heard them talk about how Mouse got M to introduce her to a not-yet-full-grown swan the other day, and how Aunty M lets her carry little lizards around IN HER MOUTH.  All I ask is that they give me a chance to show how kind and compassionate I can be too.

It’s one thing to pack me off while they go skiving off on their Road Trip – but quite another to revoke my internet privileges for the duration of their absence. Yes, you read that correctly… they have kept me from my blog audience while they were off gallivanting around Queensland.  

I was in “detention” for over a week and the only good thing about it… and this was lucky for them … was that they did come back for me. It was a kooky place they took me to.  There were cats everywhere! And not just real ones … pictures, statues … you name it, they had it.  The boss lady there was obviously a “cat lady”!  She took good care of me… as Kaz and Soos knew she would because Aunty M used to let her furry people stay there sometimes when she went away. (Maybe she could leave Mi Mi there one time.)They had at least made sure I had some of my favourite things for my holiday – a comfy blankie from the couch, the Pounce box and the feathery toy that Aunty M gave me. These were at least some comforts of home – because they certainly didn’t feed me my usual food. No wonder they decided I am a “picky” eater. Well, we already knew that! How many times have I made Kaz give me more different breakfasts and dinners. I may have lost a little weight there though. That’s what Kaz is saying leastways. Do I feel lighter?  Hmmm … maybe. But thank goodness I am home now… and even though the other cats (in detention) said I should give Kaz and Sooz the cold shoulder when I got home, I didn’t, I went the other way … sticking to them like glue for the first two days I was home. And it was so good to be home with all my boxes, my own food (to not eat), my coffee cup trays to chew up… you know, everything I love about home … especially Sooz and Kaz!

I love them both … that would be Pounce and the box he came in.

I really don’t know why they think I’m naughty … anyone can see that I am a nice cat. Ask Aunty M … she will tell you.  She must believe it … because she keeps getting me toys.  She came around with the Pounce Frolicat on Saturday afternoon.  It runs on batteries – and she was good enough to bring batteries with her.  It has three or four settings – I’m not sure because I haven’t worked out exactly how to make it go yet – unfortunately I have to wait for Sooz or Kaz to get Pounce out of the cupboard and put him on the floor where I can reach him.  He’s good fun PLUS he came in an amazing box which is great fun too!

Otherwise life has been pretty normal around here … I am making good friends with the new blinds although Kaz doesn’t want me to get too friendly with them … I think she thinks I will hurt them by mistake.  She’s taken to putting them all the way up at night now.  I don’t really know why she would think I would be naughty like that!  Except that she’s seen me playing with them.  But we all need to remember er (yes, you especially Kaz) that there’s a huge difference between playing and DESTROYING!

I haven’t been spending much time in Tibet of late … only because I have been too busy hanging out on my tower.  I love it again now that it has been moved to the window.  I can look out and watch the birds, and people coming and going … and keep an eye out for any snakes!  It will be good when those geraniums get here.
