Leave me alone … I say, Leave me alone… Leave me alone … leave me… ALONE … Stop trying to pat me or play with me … can you not see I am in the middle of grooming here … and no-one needs to watch me do that! Just for that I am going to put myself away … to play with the snakes, and bird-eating spiders … and whatever “I’m a Celebrity” (because really, aren’t I?) can throw at me.
I’m happy to be on this side of the screen though – and that’s how I can casually stifle a yawn when the snakes come on the screen behind me. I don’t think Sooz and Kaz like me being up there in front of the television – perhaps they are scared the television will fall on me … or just fall. My Arch Nemesis Mimi did that … bought Mouse’s television crashing to the floor and they had to get a new one. That was a while ago now though. I think they made it so she couldn’t do it again … they’ve pasted the television high up on the wall near the ceiling (as I hear it). Bad, bad Mimi. I would never do anything like that! Good Nigey, good good Nigey.
Things are still good around here although Kaz is still dragging her feet about getting the back deck enclosed so I can go out there. I’ve told her I will keep the snakes to myself and not share them with Kaz and Sooz unless that’s what they really want. I wonder if they would?
I may have been in the bad books with Aunty M for a moment or two there. When Sooz and Kaz went off to Toowoomba on the weekend, they left me home alone … again. It was a very hot day and by the time Aunty M came along I was a bit on the cranky side. I’m sure Kaz and Sooz didn’t realise how hot it was going to be – or that I wouldn’t hang out in the bathroom near the window as I do most of the time – so they didn’t leave cross-breeze windows open for me. So by the time M arrived I was hot .. and cranky. When she went to say hello to me, I went temporarily mad and nipped at her… OMG talk about biting the hand that feeds me and gives me face rubs and is wonderful to me. But golly, who knew she could growl louder than me! And that she can make herself so big! Scary stuff. But we made up soon after and we’re best friends again. She came to visit me yesterday before they all went off to Lismore for the day – and she came to see me again today .. so we are really all good!
