Let me tell you about myself – I adopted Andrea and Alan soon after they came to the motel. I used to help Alan when he collected the guests’ rubbish bins – I thought it was a good idea to check out the rubbish to see if the guests had left something nice for me.

It didn’t take Andrea and Alan long to realise that I was very hungry, hurt and homeless and had been wandering around Kerikeri looking for somewhere nice to stay – some place that was quiet and away from that noisy traffic, some place that had lovely gardens and really felt like a welcoming home.

Here are some of my pictures of my most comfortable places to sleep – you can call me Puss In Box – you might have seen my cousin in that film of a similar name?

I like to go and see the guests when they settle into their rooms to check if they’re OK and comfortable. But I won’t go into the rooms because Mummy says that’s naughty. I also like to welcome guests and work at the reception, but I find that a bit tiring.

Hobbies? Well I just love doing jigsaw puzzles, but they also make me very tired and sleepy. Mummy and Daddy say that I’m sleeping on the job, what do you think?
