Month: June 2022

We’ve all had a lovely quiet day today -although it was much quieter when the Mummies went out this morning. They were out a long time come to think of it. They went to “The Markets” and saw Aunty M, Mouse and the others and had coffee and fresh bread and jam – but that wasn’t all – they had GERMAN SAUSAGES. I’m not sure what GERMAN SAUSAGES are but the Mummies seemed very excited about them. M Kaz has been talking about them all week – since they were at “Thge Markets” last Sunday actually! I wish they had taken photographs while they were out – just so I could really see what they were up to … but, wait, Aunty M did – which is why she isn’t in the photograph!

M Kaz took me for a walk outside this afternoon and it was wonderful. I ate some glass and looked for Lenny (Where on Earth are they? I haven’t seen them for ever!) … and did someone decide not to mow the lawn? It’s getting more than a bit long out there now … it’s almost up to my knees, well, my ankles at least. I didn’t try to scarper over the fence today but I am biding my time and will try again … soon.

They’re home … they’re home! It’s day No. 2 and early this afternoon they arrived home again, carrying all manner of bags – one of them had shopping in it (from Aldi) and there was even some cat food for me in there. There should have been cat cookies because I can almost see the bottom of the cookie cannister. I’m not sure what the Mummies are going to do when those cookies are all used up … because I know they’re aren’t any more … well, not the ones I like anyway … I’ve been in the cupboards – all the cupboards – and I know there are only two packets of cookies in there – both previously tried and rejected by Nigey. M Kaz has put out some wet food for me tonight – and I’m eating that, hoping that will fill me up until they get out tomorrow to get me some more Friskies – I have a feeling it’s way too cold for them to go out again tonight – especially since M Kaz has put on her UGG (UGH?) boots already.

They haven’t been doing much since they arrived home. M Sooz has been in the bedroom – reading, having snacks, taking naps, watching snake-catcher videos (I may have made that last bit up – but it’s entirely possible – she’s done it lots before) – having a wonderful time. I’ve had M Kazbah hard at work doing my social media (did I mention she’s set up a Facebook page for me) and as Aunty M rightly pointed out today, I have been a bit behind in my blogs – but we’re just about up to date now (thanks M Kaz).

It is so cold here at the moment … you would think it was Winter … and it has been for the last 24 days. It’s okay when you’re out in the sun and I was when M Kaz took me out there earlier this week in one of the brief periods when they were actually home – or when I’m in my window seat soaking up the sun. How lucky am I that I can still get some sun while the Mummies are out.

I can’t work out what’s worse – being under house arrest and being home alone (again!) or being sent to stay with Aunty Rosemary. I know there’s a story here because M Sooz and M Kaz keep disappearing every second night – and they don’t come back until some time the next day to stay but they do come in early in the morning to feed me, refresh my water and clean out my litter tray. Hmmmm. I know they’re not going to see the family in Toowoomba because they’d be gone longer … I will have to sniff around and see what I can find out. Maybe I’ll listen in to their conversations and accidentally overhear something about it.

I’ve been doing my best to keep things happening around here in their absence – which is okay except I’m still trying to get all of my daily kips in. As I’ve said many times before: a Nigey needs her beauty sleep.

Oh … oh … there’s exciting news! M Kaz has been busy doing her assignment for TAFE and because she needed a couple of FB pages to link through to she has created two pages … one of which she will keep once she gets her assignment back … because that FB page is all mine! She’s already helped me put some posts up!

I am currently on house arrest. The charge: trying to escape over the fence while M Kaz and I were outside yesterday. I almost made it too. If only she’d still been fiddling with her phone when I made the break for it, it would have been a very different story. She wouldn’t have been able to hit the “lock” button on the retractable lead to stop me dead in my tracks – hanging by my toes off the top of the fence. I’ll give M Kaz this though, she has decent reflexes. It was about a second from when I was sunning myself on the lawn (a clever ruse) to launching myself at full speed to the top of the fence. As I was hanging there, I thought M Kaz would come over and lift me down … she did not so I dropped the 5 or 6 feet to the ground and protested loudly as she scooped me up to take me inside… and so the house arrest began!

It’s a good thing I have so many stringey things to keep me company! Especially since I was evicted from the bedroom again this morning. What are they thinking? I was only chewing on M Kaz’s hair a little bit through the night -and that wasn’t even when she escorted me out – it was after I’d slept on her legs for a while, and after I’d slept in the middle of the bed between them
