I can’t believe they left me at home alone overnight and they didn’t get Aunty M to pop in and see what mischief I was getting into – and we all know how I love getting into mischief. It does make me wonder though- how long do the Mummies think I can be left alone for, all by myself? M Kaz came home in the afternoon to refill my food and water bowls and spend time going around the house collecting rubbish, cleaning out the fridge, doing my litter tray and … thank goodness … opening the kitchen window so there’s some crossbreeze and air in the house. To be fair, I’m not usually here alone so Kaz probably didn’t realise that it can get to be like an oven in the house on hot days – of course, that’s only when M Sooz isn’t here with the Vornado – or the air conditioner – on. M Sooz feels the heat too. M Kaz gave me specific instructions when she opened the kitchen window.

As she stuffed steel worms into the window track she implored and begged me not to take them out because they were the only things that would keep the biteys and crawlies out. Hmmm. Now that they’re home and can play with anyone who does come in, I’ll hide the worms and see how long before we have company. I’ll let Lennie know!

Aunty M didn’t come last night but Aunty A was here today and I gave her a big hello – hoping I’d distract her from chasing after me with her vacuum cleaner – but that didn’t work … it never does. To be fair, she never does actually chase me with it – she just insists on having it in the house while I’m here.

Staring … staring … staring. I’m here M Sooz, you don’t have to keep looking for me.  I’m here in plain sight!  I know I’m usually hiding or not immediately obviously evident but not this morning.  I was sitting, lounging actually, on the cat tower, waiting for something interesting to happen.  It didn’t – which is a shame … because it did happen out the front when the Mummies were setting off to see their mate Jason with the Blue Koala.  While M Kaz was speaking with the next-doors (yes, the ones who had the snake in their loungeroom the other night), M Sooz spotted what they now think was Lennie, the next-door’s lizard, clinging to the wall above their heads.  Lennie is ginormous – almost as big as one of those huge crocodiles in the Northern Territory … and M Kaz took a photograph to show me … so if I see Lennie outside (we are not sure if Lennie is a girl or a boy), I can shout out “hello” so Lennie doesn’t feel too lonely – and knows that I’m not dinner.  I’m going to ask her to print the photo out for me so I can keep it by my window and keep a watch-out.  It would be nice to have another friend … because you know I haven’t heard from Mimi for a while. She’s been off on her own adventures … to some place called ChristineLand. (She could have asked me!)

There was a mighty storm this afternoon – with huge drops of rain and lot of thunder.  I didn’t see any lightning though, so I felt quite safe looking out the window.  And yes, I may have cuddled up with the dinosaur for a bit to keep him company because you know he’s not quite as brave as I am.   He could do with another friend as well – so I’ll ask him to keep an eye out (he has really big eyes, all the better for seeing) for Lennie too. They might even be related.

It’s a pity the sloths in my day room aren’t a little more active because they could come out and be with Dino and Roger and me … but they’re really only good for napping with.  Did you know that sloths usually live in trees – but we don’t have any of those in the house – and that the only time they come out of the tree is once a week when they use their litter tray.  I suspect they have been using mine but I have no proof … yet!  M Kaz has enough to do cleaning up after me … but I know she loves it. I’ve heard her say it’s like a treasure hunt!  And can you believe she actually counts what she finds!  And if she thinks I haven’t been “productive” enough, she’s always checking to see if I’m doing my fair share of eating and drinking so there will be proper “throughput”.  Get a grip M Kaz … and call it like it is … it’s Pooh (no, not Tigger’s friend) … and Wee (even though they’re not!).

Just when they thought they knew all my spots … I used to fit all the way into this when we first got it but at least M Kaz can’t comment on how big my bottom looks! We know she does … and maybe she shouldn’t … has she not heard of a mirror, or that Nigeys have feelings too?!?

It’s a Rat. It’s a Rat. And it was hard to contain my excitement … until M Kaz assured me that it’s not that type of rat … and it’s definitely not for cats. It’s for the Mummies (or anyone they know who can’t find one) … should they ever need it. On the box it says Rapid Antigen Test and M Kaz brought it back from the chemist this morning … because they had them and she thought it would be a good idea to put it in a cupboard “for Ron”. I’m not sure who this Ron is but I have heard him mentioned once or twice before.
It has been raining again here so M Kaz hasn’t been out to finish mowing the yard or using the whipper-snipper, which means she hasn’t taken me out there either. I enjoy looking out the window, seeing if I can see the snake from the next-doors, but I haven’t yet. I’ve seen some lizards, and a frog, and lots of birds, but no snakes. Yet. I keep looking though.
I have found a new sleeping place … they’re calling it my new hiding spot … but I don’t go there to hide … I go there to sleep because it’s so very comfortable and cosy.
