Tessie thinks it's wonderful to see people walking past the door
because they must be coming to see HER! Every time somebody goes past
the apartment she races to the front and runs along the back of the
couch to follow them. When she gets to the corner she stands on the
table or the end of the couch with her paws up on the windowsill
trying to crane her neck to see where they're going and begging them
to come back... since the new neighbours are still getting settled
they've been doing a LOT of coming and going, and Tessie's spent most
of her time supervising, and making the most pitiful little meeps and
meows when they ignore her!

John wanted a burger for lunch so I went into the kitchen to cook it,
and as soon as I opened the cupboard under the sink to pull out some
onions, Tessie streaked past me and into the cupboard before I could
do anything to stop her! All I could do was to wait for her to decide
that she'd had enough and come out, so that I could put the cat-bar
back into the door. She KNOWS that she's not supposed to be in there -
I keep a wooden fork thing stuck through the doors to keep cats from
opening it (all three of them know that if you paw at a door for long
enough it'll bounce open!)
