Nuenue Castle


Welcome to my new old castle. I'm your host, Nuage Furrypants.
I'm a bit cranky today 'cause it's raining out, which means there are no birds flying around, which means I'm bored. Mom made me a paper ball earlier this morning, but now I can't remember where I put it.


See? Nothing but rain, rain, and more rain.




Let me tell you a little bit about my castle. Poor Bill had lived here alone for about a year before mom and I decided to move in. Then we all moved out when mom was in the hospital 'cause.... wait, let me read from the notes they passed to me.... "it's a 6th-floor walk-up. That means no elevators." Personally, I don't know why that's such a big deal. It doesn't look all that difficult from the window of my carriage. The humans.... they always have so much to say about everything. "Nuage, don't do this." "Nuenue, don't do that." And why do they always freak out when I put my paws on the toilet seat to look into the bowl? I like watching how the pool of water whirls down, disappears, then reappears again!
Anyway, let me get back to business and give you a proper tour.

This is what you see as soon as you walk in the door.
I don't like jumping onto the table 'cause it's wobbly.
What do we use it for, you ask?!
Mom and Bill keep their keys and sunglasses on it, and that's about it.
Let me tell you a secret, they had taken the keys away because they thought it wouldn't look good in the picture.

Oh, hey! That's Bill. Yeah.... he's alright. He feeds me when mom's not home. Don't be fooled by his shaved head and think he might be a cat hater. This is a guy who really likes playing Peek-a-Boo. Sometimes when I'm just chilling behind the couch, he'd get all excited and started looking for places to hide. Then I'd go see what he's up to, right? (Cats? Curiosity? Get it?) That only makes him even more excited and soon you'd see him running around the house, popping that shaved head in and out here and there.
Bye, Bill! Have fun in your Chinese class.


Ah~ the couch! This is where I spend most of my time. It's perfect for a lazy afternoon when you have nothing to do and can just...... Wait! That's every afternoon. I love being a cat.
Call me crazy but I don't think Bill and mom like the fact that I like the couch so much. They're always saying something while brushing the couch with a roller that makes a funny noise. I know they're talking about me 'cause I understand my name. So I jump on the couch to see what's up, but then they talk louder and wave me off the couch. How rude!
Oh, and they always freak out when I jump on the table when they're eating. I don't understand! It's not like I like human food. I just wanna be close and hang out. You don't see me hissing and scratching when they come near my food. So territorial, these humans.


This is a lot of fun. I hope you have one in your house too.
I don't know how Bill does it, but sometimes he makes things appear on the wall. They're all colorful and they move and stuff. I love staring at them.
And that box can talk! I swear! I've tried to catch the people behind it, but they're too fast for me. I'll give you a shout next time they come out again.



................ I'm not allowed to play with these things......... I'm not allowed to even touch them.
Why do we have things we can't play with in the house?




Now this is what I'm talking about!
Bill has a lot of them lining up on the top of the bookshelf, so it's perfect for playing Godzilla. Don't tell Bill, but I swept one of the little green guys down the crack between the window sill and the bookshelf. I made sure his radio broke off, so he wouldn't be able to call for help.
This one, however, is my favorite. He cracks me up! I will never knock him down. See how funny he looks. Yes! Hello to you, too, my little robot friend!



This is the hallway leading to my food and litter box.
It's also where Bill likes to play Peek-a-Boo. See what I mean? There are plenty of places for him to run to and hide.





This is where they prepare food for me.
Oh, when everyone's asleep, those two mats come alive and attack me. I have to fight them off and stuff them in the space to the left, under the counter with all the spices. Being stepped on all the time and stained with grease and dirt, these mats are really psychologically imbalanced, I tell ya.
For some reason, though, mom really likes them so she rescues them in the morning and lays them out like this. Little does she know, these mats are evil!



You might wonder what a kitty cat like me has to do with human cooking stuff. I don't!
What I'm interested in are the occasional cockroaches from underneath the shelves. I beat them up and spread their body parts all over the house. I know mom'd be proud of me.


This is where mom gives me showers. I don't understand why they always have to close the door when they're inside. Whenever I want to know what they're doing inside, I just stand on my hind legs and use my arms to push the door open. They wash themselves in this place too. The difference is they wash themselves way more frequently than mom washes me. What can I say? Us cats are simply cleaner than other animals.


Mom put these new plants here a week ago, and I still haven't figured out if I could eat them. I usually hang out here to wait for them to finish washing themselves. They smell so clean afterward. I love attacking their wet feet 'cause it startles them and gets them jumping around every time!
Hahahahahahaahahhahaha!




Oooooo......the very comfortable room.
In fact, I've been wanting to use this room as my nap room, but they keep those doors closed. There are mountains of warm soft clothes to sleep on. Purrrrr.......
Note to self: must practice how to pull doors open.
If you know how, or if you know a cat who knows how, can you write to me? You can just click on "comments".


This is it! The only room I didn't show you is their bedroom 'cause it's not really an important place to me. I only go in there to wake them up or to attach the hand under the cover. Plus, they didn't make the bed this morning. It wouldn've been embarrassing to show you their bedroom anyway.

I hope you've enjoyed the tour. I'm gonna go nap in my cube now.
