What I got up to when mummy couldn't find me

On Saturday night I went wandering around my neighbourhood a bit, and I found a big open nouthed cave, just like the one under our house. I thought it might be interesting to have a look around inside. There was lots and lots of cool stuff for me to climb over, and the cave went quite deep.

Whenever people came into the cave I just hid so they didn't know I was there.

At some point, though, a big door came down over the entrance to the cave, and I couldn't get out. When it got dark and I wanted to be home I called and called for mummy, but she mustn't have been able to hear me.

I don't know how long I was in there, but I do know I missed some meal times. Mum says I only missed a breakfast and a dinner. Because early this morning the lady that lives in the house above the cave alerted my mummy and daddy that she had heard a cat under her house. Mum & Dad had just been about to leave for work, but they ran over the street, and hunted in the big cave for me. I was a bit nervous, but eventually I let dad see me when he came towards me with a light, then mum called me, so I answered back, and ran into her arms . Then I ran home where there was a BIG feed of biscuits waiting for my return.

Missing

Pixie has been missing all day today... we have posted flyers in neighbours letterboxes and hope to hear something soon.

the one that got away...

Mummy was intrigued by a sparrow today (a sodding bird!!). It was hanging around on the front lawn, and mummy was able to get really close and take heaps of photos - she likes using the camera. But then she was worried that the bird wasn't flying away... she thought maybe it wasn't able to. She tried chasing it herself, but it just hopped out of reach of her.

So, I thought I'd help out. I snuck up around the side of the garden, and slunk towards the lawn... but once I got the the edge of the lawn I was wide open to be seen, and sure enough, the darn sparrow was able to fly after all!

Mmmm, Warm bed

I climbed in bed with mummy this morning. It is Saturday, so she was taking the chance for a lie in. It is so warm in bed, and mummy cuddles real close to me when I join her. I like to lick her hands and arms. She keeps trying to pat me back, but I can't lick her hand so well when she does that, so I shuffled around a bit until I could get some skin.

I love snuggling with mummy. Even when daddy got up early, for some reason, and fed Big Kitty, I could hear him tapping the can and plate with the spoon, and calling my name, but I just looked lovingly at mummy and stayed put!!

Now it's nice and sunny outside I am going to go hunt something... there's so many birds and mice to be tracked down around here.

Hiding

I don't see mum much during the day, 'cos she leaves in the morning and doesn't come back 'til dark. Tonight she was down in the garage (under the house) getting some coal for the warm fire. I got up under the house where she can't go 'cos she's too tall. I went right over by the far wall. Mummy called and called, but of course I didn't come back. I like playing in the dirt under the house. But then, mummy disappeared!! She went down behind the retaining wall and I couldn't see her. So I crouched my way over to see what had happened, and what should happen, but mum jumped up and grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and carried me, very unceremoniously, up and inside again.... how rude!

It's my second winter

It's getting really cold outside... this is my second ever winter. Last year we didn't have a fire to curl up in front of. In fact, about this time last year I got myself trapped under a house!! Oops!! That was a bit scary. I just went for a walk, found my way into an interesting place, but couldn't find my way out. I got scared... and cold and wet... and very, very hungry. When mum and dad found me (yay!!) I stopped going for walks so much. But we moved recently, and there is so much more to explore... and mice to catch!! I've caught two so far. And I even brought one inside, but I'm not sure what's happened to that one.

I promise to be careful when out wandering.... but I don't promise to be home very often!! There's just so much to check out here....

But I will come in when I hear mum clacking away at the computer, cos that's the best time to sit on her knee... or lower arms...
