drinking from the rainwater dipper...

singing along with the TV...

.

and sit on the window ledge to look at the birds

checking the dishwasher...

defending the bath ...

watching the chooks...

beating up the cushion...

napping with Warm Teddy.

Chapter 2: The Wide World Outside

I've discovered how to climb!

Mind you, it can be a bit tricky getting down...
Daisy had to climb up and rescue me (twice)

which is probably why David is monitoring me...

but...

I'm down in time for a game of bubbles with Hannah and Daisy.


It's fun playing with them after school.

We made a cake!

I helped Daisy with homework

and rearranged the toothpicks

Chapter 3: Arranging Life to Suit Me

Success! I sleep in their bed.
They don't like me starting the day at 5am though...

 

I keep on looking for the perfect place for a daytime nap...

too noisy...

too slippery...

too green...

aaahh... just right!

 

Chapter 4: Growing Up

Easter wasn't fun - I'm still a bit delicate after my operation.

Jon's snapper looks good
- perhaps grilled with a creamy sauce??

Chapter 5: Alone

They went away and left me for 4 weeks!
A cat may look at a queen but where's London?
Thank goodness Barbara came to keep me company...

I've put a spell on the suitcases so they never come out of the wardrobe again.

I hope they take the hint that I really need to get outdoors more!

Chapter 6: More Outdoor Activities

Climbing trees is my favourite thing!

I really like the gingko...

...but why are the leaves yellow?

...and where have they all gone?

I understand what this room is for and that's what I'm doing...

But why can't they cover things with dirt like cats do?

Chapter 7
Locked in Prison

All I did was look inside the garage across the road and next thing I knew the door was slammed shut and I was locked inside!
I cried and cried and I could hear Helen outside calling my name but she didn't hear me.
Two nights I was locked in there and then I heard them talking so I yelled my loudest until they heard me and came to my rescue.

It was lovely to get home and have something to eat and drink and lots of patting.
Now I won't let them out of my sight.

Next Chapter:

Let's all relax and take time to smell the flowers.

We've got a good show of tulips this year.

This is my friend M'sasa who lives over the back fence.

They've made me a cake! A fish-cake!

I singed my whiskers on the candle...

I'm still climbing.
And the tree is getting some leaves again.

We went in the forest and I found
the best branch of pine cones.

 

I've found a really good place for a nap.
I think I'm safe here because she doesn't do ironing very much.

Chapter 10
Such a Lot to Look At!

We've had a lot of rain lately —
I wonder what's in here?

She won this at the Melbourne Cup.
I wonder if it's good to eat?

We go for a walk up the street every night

What's Daisy doing up my walnut tree?

This was a good spot for a nap -until she wanted to wash her hands...

I'll have to get rid of this plug for comfort.

That's better!
Now I can relax.

I'm starting small with lizards

...up high with pesky flies and...

I brought it in to show them.
They weren't very appreciative -
so I hid it!

I can keep him interested,

even ignore him

but I miss him when he goes home.

The Christmas Monsters say they're going to eat me!
(I think it's really Daisy and Dylan)

The Christmas Elf
gave me a present.

But I'd sooner mess around outside
with M'sasa.

Here I am up on the sail.
I like to bounce around and watch the birds.

Then I drop by the kitchen for a bit of lunch.

On these 41' days it's hard to find a nice quiet cool place to sleep...

There are too many cats here.
Who is this interloper?

This is a peaceful spot.

Someone's been shopping— for MEAT.

He's training me to jump

...and I love it!

I'm alway happy to learn new cat skills
(they don't know I can read)

David is still able to play with me...

even with his arm in a sling.
