Cutie Meow Meow

At Raurimu/Tongariro area, we stayed at Haven Cottage. Attracted by the light and warmth, many insects would fly into the cottage at night. I asked the SO to release them outside, so they would have a better chance of life, instead of getting crushed accidentally inside the small cottage.


Our cottage, with the toilet/bathroom/laundry room in a separate "box".


The other bigger and more costly cottage.

It was so cold in the evening that the SO would open the door slightly ajar to release the insect (a moth) while in a squatting position, and while doing so, a furry head suddenly popped around to peep inside our cottage, which gave the SO a fright!

It was the neighbour's cat, which with a little coaxing, decided to pay us a visit. :)




As usual, the SO could not resist cuddling the sweetie (I think it's a boy).


This is how the fellow looks like when he/she first saw us, a day or two earlier (before the night of his visit). Didn't look so friendly, eh?

The kitty was perched on this damp rug at the cottage next door, which we discovered (from the boy) was not his home. When we first arrived, the cottage next door had 2 visitor dogs, one of which was a brown & white boxer which walked through the fence to say 'hi' to us...very cute.
