What a busy week for a small cat! I’m always finding something to do – including pushing things off flat surfaces (part of my cat heritage!) and tearing up paper products.

I’ve also spent a fair amount of time in puberty this week – it’s not easy being a teenager! Sooz and Kaz really have booked me in to see the Vet next week – hopefully I’m out of this round of puberty by then otherwise they may not be able to “do” me.

I had three visitors this week – and all of them seem to think I’m cute – and are keen to lavish me with pats and affection. Love it! And … great excitement … I may be getting a playmate! Not for keeps – but – Sooz and Kaz may be looking after Dzambhala when his mother is overseas in August. Dzambhala has stayed here before – so it would be good for him to be somewhere familiar while his human is away. I’ll have to work out which of my humans I will let him play with in the early hours of the morning though. Hmmm. That will require some thought!

They keep wearing me out! Kaz keeps starting that game with the stringy thing – and that takes quite a lot of energy since she has me jumping over the bed and into the air over and over again. She keeps telling Sooz that she is going to set up the camera so she can photograph one of my leaps.

I still haven’t been enticed into the cat hideaway box although Kaz does keep trying. She is nothing if not persistent. She makes the stringy thing land in the box and then waits for me to pull it out. She sometimes has to wait a while. So far I’ve only had my legs in, and maybe my head … but no more!

I am now locked out of three rooms: the office (too many things I can knock off surfaces … and sitting on the telescope is now a no-no); the toilet (what’s so wrong with shredding toilet paper?) and the newly-de cluttered second bedroom (and now home to Sooz’s crystals). I’m still not allowed in the cupboards, or the fridge or the dishwasher, and at this rate, there will soon be nowhere in the house I can go. Hmmm.

I cannot believe they left me at home alone overnight! What were they thinking? Don’t they know I’m just a tiny little kitten … going through puberty … and that I need constant cuddles, affection and reassurance? The good news is that at least they left me with two litter trays (decisions … decisions!) and plenty of crunchies and wet food! I had to keep myself entertained though … and it’s really hard for me to get my toys out of the box unless they help me … so it was good Kaz had left my dinosaur out … and the stringy thingy. … and Mr Hanky (The Christmas Pooh), and a tee-shirt (just as well my sense of smell – which is amazing in cats – is not yet fully developed!) and that piece of blue string. She also put the echidna in the cat hideway box (was that to stop me going in there until they are home and can see me use it for the first time?). They didn’t leave a light on for me though … mind you, they don’t when they go out to Trivia either … when Sooz suggested it Kaz said she didn’t think it was necessary because “Nigella can see better than us in the dark” … and that’s true … and that brings me to another point …. I do need to work out some way of telling them that I don’t appreciate the light from their phones or Kaz’s watch coming on in the middle of the night while I’m trying to sleep! Yes, yes, I know it’s just so they can see where I am and won’t tread on me … but it is just the teeny-tiniest bit annoying! Is it any wonder that I have taken to eating the toilet rolls? I did that while they were away in Toowoomba – even though Kaz thought she had closed the toiiet door so I couldn’t get to them! Hmmm … they suspect I am clever but have no idea of just how clever! (Teleportation device … hmmm … no worries!)
