What do they think I am … chopped liver? They went away on the weekend … AGAIN … living me alone with just my toys, food, cookies, water, Tibet, fresh litter … and the faint hope that Aunty M might pop in to see me and give me a face rub! And what am I to do in the other hours and hours they are gone? I’m thinking I might have to take some tips from the other cats they know! Who? Well, that Mimi (grrrrr) for a start. Word on the street is that Aunty M had to buy a new television because Mimi knocked the one in the dining room at her place off the cupboard it was sitting on. Aunty M didn’t make that mistake again … the new one is suspended in the sky where Mimi can’t reach it (ha ha!). And then there’s Tilly – who owns Syl and An. She was so concerned they were going away that on the day before they were due to leave, she knocked a glass head off a cupboard … we’re not talking a small head here either – it was big (Syl used to put her barrister wig on it) and heavy … and it shattered into a gazillion pieces when it hit the floor. All this was because they were leaving … AND they were taking her with them … so imagine what it would have been like if they were leaving her at home alone … like Sooz and Kaz leave me!

Yes, I’ll have to put some thought into this – and start noting what they like around the house. Hmmm, I could have some real fun here!

Those two never cease to amaze me. Kaz did something really strange last Saturday morning. She went into her office and came out wrih something that looked like a surfboard with legs. Then she pulled out another thing – she called it a name – no, she didn’t, she said something like it wasn’t Brian … the iron. Ahh … so this is ironing – making wrinkled things smoothe. Hmm. Why doesn’t Sooz do something like that? Because Kaz did it for her. (Did you think I was talking about something other than their shirts? How rude would that be … and yes, we all do know that Kaz and Sooz do say that I am rude – not sure why but they do).

They have been out a bit lately but I don’t mind that so much since I have Tibet. I love Tibet. And my couch. And the washing machine. I love everything.  Especially cuddling on the table with Kaz … no, no, she’s not on the table … I am!  I’m doing that right now as I dictate this to her. It’s good too because it means I can whisper it to her so Sooz doesn’t overhear and spoil any surprises when she reads the blog.

It’s getting colder now and I spend most mornings in Tibet, especially if Sooz still has her electric blanket on.
When they went to Ikea with Aunty M the other day, they bought me another dinosaur – a big green Trex.  Whenever she thinks I’m asleep on the couch now, Kaz gets him and puts him (and sometimes Matilda too) next to me.  It seems to make her happy!  Humans, hey?

I don’t think it could have been any noisier today. When I heard Sooz was in possible danger, I raced up to the bedroom to check and yes there was a man outside the window (read: glass doors). I wasn’t sure what he was doing but I was determined to keep her safe if he stepped off the grass and onto the deck.  Kaz didn’t seem that concerned – she just kept talking to Son but I did notice she closed the window so it wouldn’t be quite as noisy.  Ahhh … finally I realised what was happening … it was Mark out there and he was here to do the lawns.  Would it be too difficult to just tell me so I wasn’t worried? 

Son smelled … a lot.  That’s not a bad thing … there was a whiff of water dragon, dog, possum, koala and possibly bat. She and Mark are part-time wildlife folk and this morning they’d been out at some place called Jimboomba helping another wildlife person with the 16 rescue koalas she currently has in her care. They could have brought me one to play with!  But Son did let me play in her bag which was nice of her. After they left us, they were going to Wet And Wild where they were going to release a Waterdragon that had almost drowned on a slide there and probably would have had the person who found it not given it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR.

Otherwise it has been business as usual here – stringey-thing … electric blanket … Tibet … more photos. 

What the … ?  Just … what the … ?  I know I have been wanting to go outside (and not with that stupid harness on Kaz) but what was she thinking yesterday!  She came in carrying a red and wire cage … I think I remember from over a year ago when she took me to the vet for a big sleep … and then when I came home I had to be a ConeHead for a while – like a week or 10 days – so I wouldn’t pull out my stitches before the vet could!  Oh my … there are some not pleasant memories there. 

And then, here’s the cage again … I didn’t have to wonder what it meant for long because Kaz had scooped me up, put me in, and then held my head down as she lowered the trap door … oops, that would be the lid.  She threw a towel over the whole thing and off we went … I think An was just coming in as we were leaving because there was some talking … but then Kaz and I were in the car and on our way … to the vet!  It can never be anything nice can it … but at least I should be thankful that there was no temperature-taking this time (that can be a wee bit uncomfortable) – and I know my weight now – 5.35kg.  So, I was there to be vaccinated (whatever that is … but I can tell you it does involve a jab with a needle) and having my claws clipped (try saying that 10 times quickly).  It wasn’t totally unpleasant and I do have new food from the vet now … which is so yummy that when Kaz was getting me some out this morning and putting it on my bowl, I had to have some before she could even get it down off the bench.  Mmmmm … scrumptious! 

I was a bit tired last night though and I spent most of the evening curled up in Kaz’s arms at the table while she watched The Mentalist (he’s already taken care of Red John so it wasn’t too scary) and played one of her Casino games on her tablet.  She called Sooz out to have a look at me at one point because she was concerned that there was something wrong with me – maybe a reaction to the vaccination – because I was … what was the word she used …. “quivering” – which is odd because I always thought that had something to do with arrows.
When she went to bed she carried me to my bed on the couch (thank you Sooz!) and told me to let them know if I needed them during the night.  I didn’t though and I must have had a good night’s sleep because the next thing I knew there alarms were going off and Kaz was coming out to feed me.  Then, tummy full of yummy food, I joined Sooz on the bed for my morning nap … in Tibet … actually under Sooz’s shawl which has a label which says “Tibet”.  I don’t know what it is about Kaz at the moment but she seems to be taking more photos of me than usual – especially when I’m trying to sleep … in Tibet – or anywhere really!
