What's a 'flat-mate'?

***Giggles*** FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
TWIXIE here...

Hello there fur-buddies!

There's sumthing happening here.  I dunno what. I think the peeps think it's exciting. I'm not so sure.

What's a 'flat-mate'?  Please tell me?

I heard them talking about it.  I also heard my name mentioned.

This morning I was rudely woken up and taken out of my beautiful new crate-palace - you know, the one with the loft?  Maxmom put me in my other large cage (not that I mind because there is lots of space to run and do popcorn jumps).  Then she washed down my new crate-palace with some strange smelling stuff and threw all of my comfy-caves into the washing machine.  

I don't think I'll recognise my crate-palace after all this and I dunno whatsup.

Can you solve the mystery?

I also got some extra cuddles.

"Don't worry, Twixie," Maxmom said.  "Today's the day!  You are getting your new 'Flat-mate' today."

So buddies?  What do you think is up?  What's a 'flat-mate'?

I dunno.  It's a mystery.

Lotsaluv
