Leaps and bounds

Posted on by kazbah33pics
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.

Home alone

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!)

Busy … busy … busy

Posted on by kazbah33pics

Sooz and Kaz have been whispering about walking tiptoe around the house while I’m asleep … so they don’t wake me. That may or may not have something to do with a certain cat (that would be me) being extra affectionate at the moment … which could have something to do with puberty. Who knew that I was reaching that age? Not them. They had me booked in to the vet for microchipping, a check-up and “fixing” … which is odd because I didn’t realise I was broken! When were they going to tell me? Ah well, they got a surprise … and have now been busy on the internet checking to see how many of the symptoms of being “on heat” match mine. Just as well they had me booked for that appointment in a couple of weeks’ time (the earliest appointment Kaz could get) because, given my current condition, they would have had to wait.
In the meantime, there has been much fun (mostly mine) around the house – with screen door climbing (I wasn’t trying to get out … really), cat fishing (or that’s what Kaz calls it now when she’s playing with my string thingy with me), some diary updating (with a photo of me having paws for thought), some tower climbing and demolition … and in a minute I’m going to start helping Kaz with her puzzles … because that’s fair since I’m already helping Sooz with her Reiki practice.

New toy

Posted on by kazbah33pics

I am excited! I have a new toy and I didn’t have to help put it together. It’s a cat scratching post complete with a “hideaway box”. Of course, I haven’t been in there yet but I keep pretending to – and Kaz and Sooz get pretty excited each time I go towards it.
l am loving my bed and spend as much time in it as I can – except after midnight… that’s when I like to sleep on Sooz’s pillow, wrapped around her head, or along her back. You know she has an electric blanket! Kaz has one too but she hasn’t used it since I’ve been here. But she does have an awful lot of electric cords around and about. I’m not sure why she doesn’t like me trying to chew on them. I’d only chew a little. Doesn’t she realise that?
But they do keep getting me toys!
