You shall pay for this tonight!
Playing Christmas music does not make getting stuffed in a bag any more festive!
OMG these ants are dry!
I'll just have a wee bit more
NOT funny! So NOT funny!
In my defense I had the silly idea she would just turn around and come out but she didn't take to the idea quickly enough and stood up instead.
This it humiliating
I'm getting out of here!

Climbed down the wall and found Aurora on the cat tower. We stood and play battled a bit then she climbed down a level and I got on her back but she didn't let me ride anywhere. After a bit I went back up the wall. She almost followed then turned and went and sat in the playpen blankets instead. Then all of a suddenly she moved quick, practically running, up the tree and wall and to her bowl. Guess the munchies hit her fast.
Had our treats now playing like crazy in the hut.
Nice hammock
Still not as nice as my Princess hammock though

These big tomatoes are kind of hard to open.

I can't say I agree with all the lyrics though. I really am mighty and sure not lowly, wanna feel my claws dude? At least he calls us noble. That's true.

Mom went shopping yesterday and they got back late. She left a bag of tomatoes on the floor tied shut. I tore it open and tore up a few tomatoes, yummy. I normally avoid the floor but my nose tells me when it will be worth coming down. Maybe she'll remember this time but if I'm lucky she'll forget again. i left a couple uncalwed.

Oh score, there are ants in this log!
Aurora was restless and grumpy this morning. She got some yogurt then mom gave her some blue cheese laced with some melatonin to help her relax.
Had fun last night, we played a lot and Aurora found her way to my washer. She kept going bang, bang, bang with the lid. Eventually she got in and stayed a bit but went back to the closet early.
Dec 3rd
10:40AM
Aurora just went outside in broad daylight. There was no huffing and puffing either but she did give a couple little growls as mom followed her around, but just a couple. After she did her rounds outside she went and checked the back bedroom too.
It was spur of the moment so no photos. Aurora was heading along the shelves to my washer but mom didn't have the drawers out and Aurora panicked and fell when she saw mom coming to pull them out and once she was on the ground she just continued on outside. Walked around and came back in.
11:40AM
Aurora was relaxed but when she saw mom taking the food bowl away she suddenly remembered the washer sounds are scary so she paced awhile and settled into the hut instead.
Mom was low on fridge space and left the ants out since they are dried. Someone found them and opened the container and pigged out, it may or may not have been me.
Uh-oh, that someone also poked a hole in the container and lid. I must blame Aurora then, though I was just up for a treat and mom says my lack of interest in some of the ants just now is suspicious. No. no it's not cuz' I pigged out on them earlier, I'm just not in the mood.
Dec 4th
We were playing in the hammock and the hook came loose in back and kinda dropped us. Aurora got scared and went to the shelf. Mom said she couldn't fix it till today cuz she has to move the cage. Aurora came back and we tried playing in it a bit longer but then moved into the hut.
Darn her I went to the shelf wanting to nap with her but she's sleeping in the hut. She should sleep where I want her.
Dec 6th
Aurora came down and was active last night. She had some fun bang, bang, banging my washer lid. Seems to still baffle her most of the time. Later she started up the nightstand but mom woke and thought it was me and when mom sat up Aurora dropped back down and ran off to the closet. Mom got up and gave her fresh food and all was well.
This morning I got up for my treat and Aurora got up too and got some blue cheese.
Oh yeah Aurora also pooped on the cat tree and knocked some pee pads and towels down. I was good and only woke mom up once or twice.

She was there a long time so I snuck a photo in the dark, then she left.

Aurora had fun banging the list to my washer again but she eventually found her way in and is sleeping with me today.

Sorry you can't see Pua's face but I had to be quick and sneaky to get a pic under the lid and not disturb Aurora.
Ting, ting... ting of claws against metal as we jostle for position in the washer.
Dec 8th
After I got up mom propped the washer lid open a bit so Aurora wouldn't forget how to get out again. I sent most my time sitting in the drawer waiting for her. After awhile she came out and went back to the closet.
I got my washer to myself now. I had some morning ketchup and Aurora had some yogurt. We had morning munchies.
Hey, I'm trying to eat breakfast here!

Aurora does not approve of my playing with the human. But that human is my mom!
Aurora went in her hut but I chose not to follow and got mom to come play instead. Aurora came and sniffed several times and could not figure out why I did not smell of terror. She even accidentally touched mom with her cheek. Aurora paced the shelves a couple of times but kept coming back to look and sniff at this odd sight. Eventually she gave up and hid/waited in the hut.
We are playing in the closet now. Just us anteaters.

When Pua's ears stick out straight to the side like in some of the holiday pictures does that mean she's annoyed?
5:20 PM
That's a subtle thing to notice :)
I'm good at judging her emotions but for me it's more instinctual and my mind bypasses the specifics of this = that.
After reviewing many images I think it's most commonly a sign of being tired but it can show interest like if she's concentrating on something below her then her ears will tilt down towards it or annoyance/disinterest by pointing down away from the annoyance.
