About the author and her pet.

Meow, my name is Nori. My pet human is called Shanis. She's amazing. All I have to do to get food is to go up to her, and keep tapping her with my paw. She never tells me to stop and eventually I get my food. I can make her do whatever I want. If I hop into her bed I get a nice scratch behind the ear. When she's working on her laptop, all I have to do is sit on the keys and she gives me attention. She's a good pet. When I'm feeling generous I bring her my dead birds and dead mice, just to let her know I care for her.

My day normally consists of lounging around in the sun. I love a good nap. Then I start my usual afternoon routine. I walk into the lounge room and scratch my favourite couch, to make sure everyone remembers it's mine. Then I'll go for a wander and play with some of my pets. I love it when we play with the toy mouse. They're such good pets, they laugh with me and play until I get bored. That brings me to dinner. I'll jump onto the table and meow until one of my pets finally obeys me and gets my food.

My arch enemy is the red dot. I don't know where it hides. Everyday I look for the red dot but I can't find where it lives. But whenever it comes out I chase it down. I've never been able to kill it. My dream is to bring the red dot to Shanis, and to show her that she's my favourite pet.
