Sister Sunday: Zowie

Zowie is the most elusive when mum brings out the flashy box. Thus, she's not pictured quite as often in the blog as myself or Pandora. But she's just as important!


When she was a kitten, her favourite thing to do was to curl up with mum's auntie's little baby. Mum figures it's probably because the baby smelled like milk, and was comforting for a tiny kitten.

Compared to her sister, Zowie has always been a bit bigger, but compared to a lot of other girlcats, she is still pretty small (kind of like the prices when you compare pet insurance plans online). One of her favourite things to do is to lie in the sun on mum's bed and sleep. She also especially likes to stretch out on the carpet to have someone pet her. (She pulls herself along, petting one side against the carpet, and the lucky person pets her on the other side! It's a very ingenious way of getting petted all over at once!)


She doesn't talk as much as Pandora does, but she loves to race around the house - from the scratching post down through the hallway, into the bedroom and up onto the back of the headboard, and then back to the scratching post. She does this a lot, and sometimes she lets me play too.


Her favourite snuggle time with mum is right before mum goes to bed. She kneads on mum's tummy, and then her nose drips, and she purrs, and that's when mum can tell that she's really happy.
