Wake up Mummies … it’s lonely out here!  5:51 Friday morning.  Okay if you’re not coming out I will just have to entertain myself … running up and down the hall a few times, sliding into the door … check; drink of water out of a cup in the sink … check; knock one of the apricot bottles behind the sink into the sink … check; rescue Luke Skywalker from Ollie Tedesco and take him for a ride in the caravan … check; make brown snow … check. Are you guys coming out of that bedroom … ever?  Sharpen my claws … check; take Blue to the food bowls to see if we can see the bottom … check.  Hmmmm … what to do … what to do?  Litter tray and others ablutions … check; knock the Little Buddha off the shelf with the microwave … check; wander around trying to decide where to have a nap … check; settle in on the couch so I can see when they open the door … check.  Waiting, waiting, waiting … and when the door finally does open the first thing I hear is “looks like Nigey slept on the couch again”.  Hmmmm … I did a lot more than that Mummies! You’ll see!

Pizza and coffee … am I the luckiest cat in the whole entire world?  It certainly feels like it!

It’s beginning to get a bit cold around here and I’ve taken to sleeping with my blankie on the couch some nights. Yes, we all know I would prefer to be in the bedroom with the Mummies but we also know they do not trust me to not turn off Kaz’s sleep machine in the wee small hours, or run around like a mad thing, or even chew on them while they sleep (I definitely would not do that)!  It’s 18° at the moment and I was just trying to get under my blanket even though it’s still relatively early because Sooz is already in bed and I am staying out here to keep Kaz company as she watches her new series about people flying “Away” to Mars.

Speaking of flying, Aunty An was here yesterday to help the Mummies clean up the house and put all my sit-in toys and boxes on the couch while she took the naughty vacuum cleaner for a walk around the house. 

I am not stupid Kaz! I know once the stringey thing comes out at bedtime you do not have my best interests at heart. Yes, I am so on to you Kaz … which is why I darted under the bed when you started the luring Nigey out of the bedroom nonsense. Hmmm … it’s like she forgets cats are. intelligent sentient beings … even though we do like chasing stringey things for hours at a time. Which is why the whole bedtime thing is so unfair because once I’m out of the bedroom she stops playing!

I keep asking the Mummies to take me outside but they are not complying.. No, don’t even start on about that stupid Harness rule or that stupid harness for that matter! It’s not like we dont have high fences around the yard that would stop me getting out – as though I would really want to leave home and the Mummies. I love it here with all my toys, the penthouse (sweet), the window cubby Aunty A brought me, the bathtub, the yum cha service, my pizza box, my caravan, my Aldi box, my Sunbeam fryer box, my plane box, my walking dinosaur, my cat tower, Ollie Tedesco and all the bits and bobs on him, my personal photographer … nope, I wouldn’t want to be leaving any of this any time soon! I’ll keep asking about going out but it may already be too late to catch up with my new friend Tad.

Kaz has been teaching me a new game – she calls it Casino … I personally think she could be doing better things with her time – like literally anything – but she’s as resistant to that as she is to taking me out at the moment!
