Welcome home
A practical guide to Her Majesty, the house, and the neighbourhood.
Resident in charge
Maggie Homebody, conversationalist, treat enthusiastMeet your host
Maggie is a homebody who spends most of her time indoors, though she does venture outside. As queen of the house, she has free rein everywhere, although she is discouraged from the kitchen benches.
Likes Chats, cuddles, head scratches, treats, and her window hammock.
Dislikes The neighbour's cat, Ollie.
Daily care
The short version: check food and water, offer treats, enjoy the chats.
01
The dry-food feeder dispenses 1 portion six times a day.
02
5-8 breakfast treats every morning. Treats also work as a bribe for a cuddle in bed.
Find them in the kitchen and by the bed.
03
Check the water fountain in the kitchen and top it up if the level is getting low.
04
The microchip-controlled cat door is in the back door and should automatically let her in.
There is no litter tray; Maggie toilets outside.

Make yourself at home
Please help yourself to anything in the house, including food, drinks, coffee pods, and anything else you need during your stay.
Extra sheets and towels are in the hallway cupboard. No need to wash anything before you leave.
Collection is normally Wednesday, or a day later after a public holiday. Rubbish and food scraps are collected every week; recycling is every other week. The countdowns at the top of the iPad dashboard show the next pickup dates.
Before each cycle, fill it manually through the water inlet on top. It will beep when it has enough water and drains directly into the sink.
Around the neighbourhood
Useful local notes for a longer stay.
The Mahuta Grove entrance is only about 50 metres away, at the end of the street. The main path is an easy walk of around 20 minutes, with a treetop boardwalk through mature native bush.
View the Council walk guideWalk about 10 minutes to the St Mary's stops on Onewa Road, beside the Z station. For downtown and Britomart, look for the 95B, 95C, 97B, or 97R.
The ride into the city is usually around 15-20 minutes. Citybound stop: 3957.
