Month: September 2021

They did it twice to me today … once each.  Sooz opened the door from the bedroom to the outside area and I had to come galloping in to see if I could get out before she even realised I was in the room. She did.  Then Kaz it too … I was snoozing in with Sooz when she opened the front door.  Gallop … gallop … gallop … “no Nigey, you look after the other Mummy” … is what she meant to say but she actually called me Em.  Lucky I knew they had been talking about her today – Sooz had a message from So saying Tara had just been diagnosed as Diabetic … the Vet thinks it has something to do with all the medications Tara has been taking.  So how did the Mummies manage Emma’s diabetes, she was asking, did they have to do blood glucose readings … that type of thing? Emma (of the sideboard) had to have insulin injections from when she was diagnosed (December 2003) to the day after she had her last ice cream (May 2013).  By all accounts she was quite good at being injected – especially as her vet in Sydney once said “she’d kill you rather than have a tablet”. I have so much to learn!

It’s been pretty boring around here … Kaz spends a lot of time with her computer at the moment, still doing that “studying” and Sooz entertains (more like “scares”) herself with even more of those snake catcher videos.  I’ve tried to keep myself entertained but there’s only so much a small cat can do! 

Good morning and welcome to Spring.  Yay!  I love Spring.  Even more than the Mummies (do).  Especially when Kaz lets me go outside and I can play with my friends out there.  I don’t know why they all love playing hide and seek so much … because every time I’m out there, it takes me ages to find them. Sometimes though they just like playing tag and they run away as fast as they can and I have to chase them. It’s fun!  And yes, when I find them … or catch them (or both) … of course I have to give them a little kiss and cuddle.  Otherwise they wouldn’t know how much I care – and it’s important that they know.  It’s just like with Kaz … if I didn’t kiss and cuddle her leg, how would she know she’s one of my favourite Mummies?

Aunty A came yesterday and the Mummies piled all my toy boxes up on the couch – So Aunty A could clean uninterrupted – whatever that means. I did ask her to let me out in the yard a couple of times but she ignored me – just like Kaz did the other day when she was actually sitting out there in the front yard for a very long time. I kept watch for Cecils for her, even though she didn’t seem to hear me when I told her what I was doing, and that it would be much easier if I was out there with her.  I don’t think Kaz likes snakes as much as the other Mummy does.  She spends hours watching “snake catcher” videos – so the next time there is a snake in the yard she’s going to be ready to deal with it.  You’d think she’d be able to catch it and put it in a big plastic tub – because she knows where they can be released – at Advancetown near where the Mummies used to live with Aunty M … isn’t it good they don’t live there now because there was a H-U-G-E python sighted there not long back.  It was nearly as big as a house … or was that “horse”?!
