Media star in the wings

They really do need to take a photo … it will last longer!  Oh, but wait they do that … all the time … and I do mean ALL the time!. Every time I look around they have a camera in my face … when I’m making the bed, when I’m in my bed, when I’m on my Tower.  Trust me … there is no respite.  Just as well I don’t mind having my photograph taken and being plastered all over the internet!  If only Kaz and Sooz could make me into an internet sensation like that Grumpy Cat.  I heard he is no longer with us so that means there might be an opening for a new “star” … that would be me! 

High on the tower …

I just love the cat tower Kaz and Sooz bought me – so much. Note to them: I am not such a big fan of the little bear who, when pressed, keeps telling me “I love you so much!”. I

‘m not going to send him away though – it’s fun to take him up to the turret at the top of the tower – and drop him back to the ground. He doesn’t bounce, but he seems to be okay with it.

I helped Kaz build the tower – even though she did not seem to truly appreciate my assistance. Yes, it was very late on the Sunday evening and she’d had a big weekend (she’d been to Toowoomba to see her family) and she really wanted to get it done since Dzambo had taken his home with him … so it was understandable she was a little tetchy … and resistant to a helping paw or two! But she got it done and it is a thing of beauty. I didn’t start using it all at once … they kept watching me to see what I would do, so I drew it out as much as I could … the turret, the basket … and then the hammock. I have been in the cubby hole … only the once though and that was such a buzz for Kaz that I will wait a while before I do it again … so she has something to look forward to!

Lonely … lonely … lonely

I can’t believe they let Dzambo go home – and just after Istarted liking him and all. I admit I didnt like having him here at first – he was intruding on my territory after all – even though technically he was here first – or so Kaz and Sooz say. He stayed here last October when he was just a kitten and his mother was in India. That explains some of the toys I’ve found around the house … like the mouse and the feathers – I figured they weren’t Sooz and Kaz’s. But that’s not what’s important right now … what is is the other cool stuff he brought with him. The best was his cat tower – which arrived the day before he did – so I had a heap of time to play on it before he got here. I’m glad Sooz and Kaz noticed because they decided they needed to get me one – and it arrived on Friday – and then I helped Kaz assemble it on Sunday night. It took us forever! At least my bestie Dzambo didn’t have to see that! He’d already been sent home on Saturday- and they didn’t even check with me if it was okay! I know it looked as though I was pestering him (and maybe I was) but it was good to have someone else to rub noses with and play with … yes there were growls and snarls and some claws and maybe a scratch or two – but it was all good fun – and after those first few days he wasn’t spending all his time under the couch. And who knew it would be so comfy under there: I’ve been spending a bit of time under there since he left – and yes, I do fit … and I fit in the hammock on the cat tree too!

Catching up …

For someone who is always chasing me out of the office, Kaz certainly fell down on the job the other night. Not only did she not check to see if I was in there … she locked me in and I was in there – my own personal AlCATraz – all night. Thank goodness they finally came looking for me … and thank goodness (for them) I was able to “hold on” all night long. 
I tried some new cat cookies this week and I think they may have been what didn’t agree with me.  I’m not used to things coming back out my mouth after I’ve eaten them. but they really did … FOUR TIMES!!!  It must have sounded horrible –  it did when Kaz was wiping it up off the floor in the dining room and the laundry.  She didn’t make that sound each time though.
It would be nice if Kaz and Sooz would get me a gym or something huge that I can climb on. I’m using the fridge and the shower screen and the top of the kitchen cupboard and … well, nothing is off-limits … just to try and keep myself in shape.
