Privileged

I am writing more than usual. The storm has made me think about our precarious place in the world.
I wonder if humans appreciate  the privilege  of  serving  us?
Sometimes Lynettea appears  quite ungrateful.
After she had her hairs cut and came home, she told me she would get my cat food, as it was fine. My special dental crispies have to be  ordered by the Pet Assistance Staff  at my Vet and she has to walk a long way to get them.
Off she went with her shopping trolley and after a while came back with her raincoat all wet. What a performance! I had crouched on the only warm place outside, the hot water service, and could only stare at her.

I pointed out  that the rain had only just started to come down really heavily, so she had been fortunate. You can see me looking up at the noise of rain pelting  down  on  the  roof.

It seems calm again

I might let Lynettea go out.
The weather has calmed down and she says she wants to get her hairs cut. I never get my furs cut (please do not let HER think of that for one minute), so why does she need her hairs cut? She says they are growing long and wild.
That sounds good to me. My furs are well disciplined and smooth.
The fish need their pond bailing out, as the waters have risen very high. If they are not careful they will get their wish to explore the world and that would not be a good idea.

More storms coming

I just heard on the radio that the State Premier in Parliament had told workers to go home early, if they could get away, as there was  another big storm coming.
I could see Lynettea was wanting to go to her exercise class, but I decided to get up and put my paw down.
She has no right to risk herself in wild weather.
I order you to stay here, I  signalled to her, and she reluctantly  obeyed.

Storm

I had a terrible evening.
There was loud thunder and no lights. All my playthings came inside and it got cold, as there was no heat.
Lynettea put a feathery scarf around my sleeping  cosy on the lounge when she went to bed.
She told me I must not worry, as the whole State of South Australia was blacked out and there was no power supply to the water  and sewerage either.
She filled a large jug with water in case I started to run out. Of course, I don't  have  to  worry  about  sewerage  as  I have  my  human  attendant  to  look  after  my  litter  box  requirements.
Then my sleep was further disrupted by the light suddenly  coming  on  at  1am.
 More wild  winds  today, so  we  hope  there  is  no  further  blackout.
I think  I will try to get some extra sleep today, just in case.
All this disruption to normal routine is stressful.

I think she is going crazy

Lynettea found my toy sunbear, that I used to play  with when  I  was  young. She  tried  to  make  me  play  with  it  again,  even  though  I  didn't  seem  all  that  interested.
She  was  actually  talking  to  it  and holding  it  up  for  me  to  sniff. Then  she held  it  by  one  paw  and  took  it  for  'walkies' on my artificial  grass. I felt embarrassed  for  her. Fortunately no one else was here to see. If she is shut up somewhere as a crazy person  there may  be  no  one  to feed  me.
I had better try to calm her down.

Spring tulips haiku

Diamond was very keen on haiku and a great haiku poet. His guidelines for kitties to write haiku are on this blog. So I am posting a link to a spring picture with haiku. Kitties who are accomplished at haiku (see Diamond's guidelines), can enter their haiku and possibly have their haiku displayed with the tulip picture.

If you scroll down past the guidelines, you enter your haiku in the comments box and read the other haiku that have been submitted.

A Gift for ME?

A friend brought some flowers  around.

Are they for me?

Oh. Apparently not. What a fuss!

I will just look out the window.
