Well can you believe that Kaz finally took me outside again? It has been ages since I’ve been out in the yard and that’s through no fault of my own. Any time they open the door I’m there … and I even managed to get out a couple of times with Sooz but she just scoops me up and pops me back inside. Why is it so difficult when Kaz comes out to get me? She panics so much … and I don’t know why that is. Is she expecting me to scarper? Take off over or under the fence? Not likely – have you seen how high that fence is … and maybe when I was a kitten I could have shimmied under the fence but that ship/cat has sailed!
But it was nice outside … eating a smorgasbord of grasses, looking at the birds, and even searching out lizards in that garden with all the weeds in it! I almost got one too – a lizard that is … there are so many weeds I had no trouble catching one of those! And I wouldn’t be scarpering off anyway … I know where my cookies come from! And yes the new lovely ones (which are as stinky as they are yummy) do come from Aunty M and we have to let her know I am out of them so she can bring me some of them the next time she brings Kaz and Sooz some of their cookies.
Sooz and Kaz seem to have been spending lots of time with other cats of late … I know they saw my ArchNemesis Mimi the other night when they went out for dinner for Mother’s Day with Aunty M and her mother … how could I tell? They stank of Mimi … but, and this is probably the real reason, Kaz had photos of Mimi on her phone. Yes, there is no denying she is pretty … but that doesn’t mean she is cuter than I am! And okay, she doesn’t really stink just because I think she is a stinker!
They’ve also been hanging out with Tara and Dzambo … remember Dzambo … he has stayed here a couple of times now – the first time before I came, the second time while his mother was overseas for a week. I don’t think he and I got along all that well … but he did bring his cat tower (that’s where they got the idea to get me one) and all his toys … he had nearly as many toys as I do. Of course, there are photos of us playing together … kind of … but there was also a lot of hissing as I recall. He wasn’t much fun either sometimes because he spent a lot of time under the couch. But, I digress, so Sooz and Kaz have been dropping in to see So and the cats most nights because Tara is not well and needs to be given antibiotic injections … so they help with that. Sooz holds Tara while So gives the injection, and I think Kaz is holding Tara’s head so she can cover her eyes so she can’t see the needle … because it is HUGE. So when they come home they carry the undeniable odour of others and I’m trying not to get too jealous because I know from what they say that So, Tara and Dzambo really do need and appreciate the help.
