I don’t know what’s up with Kaz but she has certainly taken her eye off the ball with my blog. I’ll give her the rest of this week but if she isn’t back on deck by Monday there will be a HELP WANTED ad in the local paper! Until it gets sorted out one way or another, here are some photos!
Get this thing off me … get this thing off me right now! Yes, that’s right … there’s a new harness in the house. It arrived today – and within minutes of Kaz finding it here (she was out when it arrived) she had the packet open and was trying to slip it on me. I resisted as best I could but she got the better of me … this time. I was out of it fairly quickly though … I reached up behind me with one of my paws and yanked that sucker off. Well … well … well … it seems that it’s on … the battle of wits … Kaz versus me. I know who my money’s on!
Meanwhile, I’m not sure why, but Kaz is doing what she calls an “experiment”. She’s making notes on the whiteboard on the refrigerator and everything! She now has 8 different brands of cat food and she’s letting me try them one at a time to see which of them I love more (or as she says “at least eat”).
It has been busy around here lately … I’ve been busy playing “cuddles and kisses” with Kaz … not quite sure why she doesn’t enjoy it as much as I do. It’s cooler these days as well – which means I get to spend some time in the evenings in with Sooz on her electric blanket … before they throw me out of the bedroom so I have to spend my nights alone, on the couch … but at least they put a blanket on the couch for me to sleep on, or is that in. Sooz even comes up to make sure I am nice and cosy and warm. She’s lovely. At least once of them is. Kaz is still taking photographs of me of course … a lot. I do try different poses for her though, just to keep her interested. I might even let her take a photograph of me in the new harness … but she’s going to have to work for it.
There’s nothing quite like sleeping on the couch on a cold, wet day. Especially after one of the Mummies has taken the time to race me ragged around the bedroom with the stringy thing. No wonder I was ready for a huge nap!
It was a quiet day all round really – helped with (or is that by) the rain. Kaz was talking about taking the camera out but then said she wouldn’t because she didn’t want to get it wet. She was in her office most of the day so I just left her to whatever she does in there for hours at a time. I did notice that she put herself down for a nap this afternoon too … and that she purrs way louder than I do.
I had to get my play in this afternoon with Sooz because tonight is Masterchef elimination and she and Kaz will be glued to the television set to see who will be eliminated. I wonder if they’ll cry like they did a couple of weeks ago. Big sooks that they are, especially Kaz.
I was hoping they’d go to Toowoomba this weekend (don’t tell them though!) because I wanted Aunty M to come and look after me. She’s the only one who can answer a question for me: does she love Fruit Tingles so much that she would eat them if they had a USE BY date of FEB 2018. I don’t think Kaz would; I think Sooz might; I’m not even sure I would bother to look – and how long have they been putting USE BY dates on lollies anyway!?
Where the h*ll do they keep disappearing to? Sometimes they are gone for an hour, sometimes a few, and then they can disappear for days at a time! Then they come waltzing in (they’re not bad dancers – mind you, they’re not the world’s best dancers either) as though they haven’t abandoned me, leaving me all on my own with Pinkie, and the stringy thing and my polystyrene claw toys (more on that later) and Graham and … oh, that may be why they’re always saying “too many toys by golly”. But this cat does not survive with toys alone … dammit I need human company! Someone for me to cuddle and kiss and rub noses with and to give me face rubs. Yes, that’s right … I need my Aunty M!
And that’s not even the worst part … lots of times when they come home, they smell! Did you know that we cats have an incredibly acute sense of smell … so I can tell when they’ve seen “others” … I hear their names sometimes … Bronte, Tilly and those two, I think they were on a FaceBook post titled “when cute meets cute” … Blue and Mimi. Grrrrrrr. I’ll give them cute. Is it any wonder that I give Sooz and Kaz leg cuddles and kisses?
My claw toys (the polystyrene inserts from the air fryer box) have been taken away by that brute Kaz. I begged, I pleaded, I beseeched (I looked up the thesaurus) but no, she would not keep them for me. Last time I saw them was Monday morning, on their way out to the rubbish bin. I know I made a huge mess with them (but who doesn’t like snow?) and I know Kaz was a little concerned I may have been eating the polystyrene but that was no reason to remove them completely. We could have had supervised play dates – and Kaz could have kept the Black&Decker vacuum at the ready if she was that worried about the mess.
