That’s right, we have a new flat member!! She’s a cute, black and white, playful, sometimes naughty but mostly well behaved, tiny moggy kitten called Safi (short for Saffron).

After a long wait and much patience, Beth-Anne finally decided to ask the landlord whether it would be ok to get a pet. This wasn’t the first time this request had been made – Beth-Anne gave it a shot the day we saw the flat for the first time. But the landlord had said no, she did not want any pets, not even any cute little kittens. According to all the grumpy old men at the office, kittens are vicious little creatures that destroy curtains, carpets and furniture. So I guess that’s what the landlord was afraid of. Anyway, somehow, being the lovely tenants that we are, the landlord was far more easy going this time round and when Beth-Anne called her up, the landlord said yes to a pet! WOOOHOOOOOO for Beth-Anne!!!

So off to the pet shop. Then came the dramas of her not being able to actually purchase the cat due to her not being a New Zealand citizen. Doh. Yeah, the pet shop people don’t trust Americans… hahah she’ll kill me for saying that (she’s actually Canadian). Ahh well, thats what friends are for – the cat actually now belongs to me.

So its been a week and Safi hasn’t actually torn anything apart. She’s very playful and likes chasing things around the lounge. It makes watching anything on tv with Beth-Anne and Richard almost impossible as they’re constantly watching the cat instead of the tv. I’m sure that will pass though.
