Where We Went

I got booked into the local kitty hotel, while my mum got to travel to Napier to stay with Bud and Belle. It is Art Deco weekend in the city, with lots on. In 1931 most of the city was destroyed in a large earthquake, and most of the city centre was rebuilt in an Art Deco style. Loads of visitors descend on the city, with their vintage cars and great costumes.

On Friday night, we went uptown to look at all of the cars and costumes.


We found this great engine.............................

...............with this little fella who was sitting in the back seat, enjoying scratches from all of the visitors.

So Why Did I Have To Go To Prison?

Dear Poppy,

Sorry you had to go in your prison box to prison. But I had to go and visit my family. I hadn't had a holiday since I got you and needed to have a short break away.

My family live in Napier. It is a small seaside town in New Zealand. About 50,000 people live there with another 50,000 20kms away in Hastings. Napier had a large earthquake in 1931 that destroyed much of the city and killed 256 people. So when it was rebuilt much of the town was designed in an Art Deco style.

I had fun visiting the family, but I did miss you too. I was glad the nice people at the cattery were able to look after you. I chose that cattery as it is at the vets that we go to. So if anything was to happen to you, they would be able to sort you out. They also have a garden that you can play in, rather than being locked up all day.

You will have to go to prison to stay every now and then. But for most of your life I promise, you will be at home with me - free to choose where and when to sleep. You will eat your favourite biscuits even if it means I have to eat toast every night.
