Ragdoll kittens have thee most gorgeous nature - snuggly, floppy (like a 'Ragdoll' toy some kids enjoy)... They're absolutely stunning with kids - and once over their extremely playful stage, they're incredible lap-cats - ideal for all ages. For sale are Blue Point Kittens.
The breed's really friendly, being known to follow their 'human' around and just be close. Great company... The investment is well worth it (we're not into the $2.8k figure found in Auckland though... We're trying to keep it tame - as set by our local 'Service Fee' agent). Vaccinations, deworming and flea treatment's inclusive - they're toilet trained and eat anything from kitty nuts to canned food or fresh meat.
Well loved to date, by the teens 'at home' - and a class of 9-11 year olds, who've scored snuggly time with them as well. Ready to go now, as the 10 week old fluff-balls they are! We're based in Masterton - come and see them? Be tempted...? Two males and two females are on offer as this advert is posted. Photos don't really do justice - so please, if interested, enjoy seeing them in person, as you choose :).
Cheers!
Jo & family

Fa’afetai mo le agalelei fa’atua’oi literally translates to "thank you for your neighbourly kindness". We think that's a pretty special way to show your appreciation for a neighbour. Happy Samoan Language Week!
We're getting some amazing entries from gardeners obsessed with their indoor plants, and we're enjoying their stories too. There's still time to send us your entry for our Houseplant Hero 2022 competition. You could win some great prizes, and (of course) more houseplants!
It is not Friday and the picture is not of a bird but this close-up of a wasp face by regular Friday Feathered Friend contributor Andrew Gorrie is too good not to use.

Greytown's Schoc Chocolate have created a Matariki inspired chocolate block, reminiscent of smoky fire and kūmara. The story behind the creation lies in the tradition of coming together around bonfires just before dawn to witness the Matariki stars appear. This time is also important for reflection, making plans for the future and planting kūmara crops for the season ahead.
For more information and to taste for yourself, call in and see Murray and the team at Schoc Chocolate in Greytown between 10am and 4.30pm, Monday to Sunday.
Additional Matariki celebrations our members are hosting include:
- Ngā Haerenga/ Journeys – Celebrating Matariki at Aratoi
- Matariki Glow Show at the Carterton Events Centre
- Matariki and the Winter Solstice at Stonehenge Aotearoa
- Stargazing accelerator and Telescope course at Star Safari
- Featherston Matariki Evening Festival
- Festival of Christmas: Celebrate Matariki at Cobblestones

Something a bit different this week. I am not sure where Chilli is from but her owner Joy is very proud of her.

"This is my 25year old Chinchilla called Chilli. She is a Standard grey colour, and she is the sweetest wee girl, who loves her cuddles and snuggles with Mum, and loves pats and tickles from all of our family. Its very very rare to have a Chinchilla who loves to be touched as much as she does. She is a rescue who came from people who didn't know how to properly care for her. Her favorite treats are dried Red rose petals, dried rose buds and most of all, her Apple sticks. I love her so much."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.

"I was going to leave the tūī for my checklist until the kowhai or flax were flowering later in the year - you know, for the poses, but this guy just about landed on my lap in the Herb Garden at the Wellington Bot Gardens - he's on a stake by the curry plant, which funnily enough, really smells like curry. He was singing up a storm in the pine trees before swooping down for a quick sniff. Bird #83 in 2022."
