Nocturne has a new favourite pasttime...going for strolls up and down
the hallway outside our apartment.

It's weird in that she is comfortable enough to roly-poly in the
middle of the hall.  Usually she does not like "Strange" places.
Mostly, though, she trots alongside whoever of us is walking with her,
and every once in a while meows an order for us to pet her.

I think she likes the hall because Smokey isn't hassling her and the
kittens aren't out there.  It's like she thinks the hall is hers.

The problem is, it's starting to get annoying that she will sit at the
door of the apartment and yowl to go out for walkies.  As in, an hour
of yodelling.  She has also started slipping out into the hall when we
try to go out.  I can't see her with my arms full of laundry.  I dont'
want her out there alone because some of our neighbours have big dogs,
and dogs need walks, and I do not need Dog Vs Nox in my life.

Also, if she meets a stranger coming down the hall she will get pissed
off and/or scared.  One time a man came off the elevator and her tail
puffed up and she put her head at the door to get into the
apartment.   The problem was it was not OUR apartment she wanted
into!  I had to pick her up...yes, picking up a bristling Nocturne,
good times...and carry her to OUR apartment, open the door and put her
inside.
