Cat came home after work to find Mille not doing so well. He had a clicking noise in his breathing. He immediately came onto Cat`s shoulder and just stayed there for a while, hiding behind her hair. Then he went back in his box, refusing to eat. It seems Daddy is going to have to intervene with some naturopathic 'medicine...'
Chev was his usual Zuko self, as always! He came bounding out of his home cage, circling Cat`s feet until she gave him a piece of apple. He finished that bit quickly, hiding in the shadows under one of the kitchen cabinets. Then he was back for more! Cat prepared a simple supper of sprouted buckwheaties, soaked sunflower and pumpkin seeds, a few grains of bee pollen, a few chichers (roasted chickpeas) and some kale for greens. Wouldn't you know, Zuko started taking everything out of his bowl and hiding it behind the kitchen cart, leaving a trail of food from his home cage to the cart! That is, until Cat intervened; oops, her hand closed the door and Zuko ate the rest of his bowl inside in the dining area of his home cage. Ah, Zuko!!
Last night's good laugh (after the blog was posted): Zuko climbed the kitchen cart and crept quietly onto the counter. Cat had heard a noise and went to investigate.
"Zuko?" Cat queried.
No answer. Then Cat spotted a tail peeking out from behind the Ziploc bag that Cat had washed and left to dry on the counter.
"Are you playing hide and seek again, Zuk-boy?" Cat asked.
While she made herself a tisane, she left Zuko to explore the counter area, supervised.
He crept onto the dish rack where the dishes were drying and saw a small, round plastic ring that belonged to the steamer (that had steamed his hot potatoes that he had hurriedly shoved in his mouth and flung up his arms in seeming protest!). This time, being Zuko of course, he couldn`t go over or around the circle piece, no, he had to go IN the circle piece. The next thing you knew, Zuko had this circle ring half-way down his body and started to try and escape his predicament! Oh, how Cat laughed!! SILLY ZUKO!! Cat slid the ring off his body and offered the ring back to him.
"How about another round?" she teased.
Zuko took his paws and pushed it away, writhing his body, and seemingly shaking his head as if to say, "No way!"
Cat laughed again. Silly Zuko!!
No silliness tonight! Perhaps he learned his lesson...?
Nah, he'll be back to some trick or other tomorrow!
For tonight, his adventures have been mild:
- stealing a tissue from the bathroom garbage (Yuck, Zuko!), and then biting a few pieces from the clean one Cat gave him
- climbing the laundry hampers (climb one- DOH! closed with a lid, climb down the other one- DOH! empty! Foiled again!!)
- grooming himself behind the washing machine while Cat quickly showered (good job, you took a pointer, Zuko!)
- gnawing at the almond milk container to get a few drops of that sweet nectar
- and, as usual, attempting to climb the barrier dividing the kitchen and the living room, upon hearing Daddy doing his tai chi
