Why does Kaz keep sneaking up on me while I’m trying to sleep? Does she not know how annoying it is? Or how creepy? You would think she would have gotten the message after she almost gave Sooz a heart attack the other day … she (Sooz) was have an afternoon nananap (pronounced: nana nap) when Kaz laid down next to her – being as quiet as she could – and when Sooz rolled over she (Sooz) got the fright of her life. She really does have a wonderful “startle” reflex too … arms and legs flailing everywhere. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious … and bless her little cotton socks, Kaz was almost able to not do that embarrassed laughter! She would have really found herself in hot water had she not been able to contain herself. But that doesn’t explain why she has started creeping up on me … and it’s not that she’s trying to give me a cuddle or anything … she’s trying to put her head on my chest! And, let me tell you, her head is almost as big as her quite generously-sized bottom (no Kaz, I haven’t forgotten!)! Hopefully it will all become clear in time. I am thinking she will discuss it with Sooz at some point, and that I will be in earshot … and there better be a reason for it … and not that she’s just messing with me.
Sooz has been wonderful. She keeps leaving the electric blanket on during the day for me … and we need it because it has turned quite chilly. I sometimes use it in the evenings as well, while they’re watching MasterChef!
The rain has stopped, so that is a good thing, because it meant that Kaz deigned to let me go outside for a little while yesterday morning. I will have to remind them that even my Archnemesis (Mimi) gets to go outside for literally hours at a time and that if they love me as much as Aunty M loves Mimi, then the least they can do is let me go out for that long too.
I don’t know whether Mimi gets a place set for her at the dining table but Sooz and Kaz have started doing that for me now … even though they are a bit slack with the place setting. Cutlery people … cutlery!
