BIG MEETS LITTLE

Phew. Was worried last night. The kittens were having a ball, being able to go where they wanted. They stayed upstairs mainly. I managed to bring Binky into the bedroom, amongst great caterwailing from her, she was so scared. I calmed her down and she sat on the radio times on the bed. Then I had a bath and could hear scratching and rummaging in the bedroom, I presumed it was the babies. I was so pleased so see that Binky was still in the bedroom, perched on top of the stereo, as usual. When I got out she was eye-ing the babies from a great height. Her awareness was heightened. But she wasn't angry. Later on she went off.

I went to get the babies only to find that I couldn't actually find them. I went round the whole house twice, calling, to no avail. I was worried. So I found two old collars and trimmed them down to size. I went back in the workshop and looked under the shelves and saw a little tiny tommy face looking back at me. They were both there, having slept, I think. Honestly, I had been calling at the top of my voice, I thought they would have woken up and started mewing! They came out and I put on their collars. Aw they look so huge on them but now at least I will hear their bells and know where they are.

This morning I brought Mitzi into my office and she slept on my lap. Then Kitty trotted in, meowing. Which attracted the attention of Tommy, who came tripping along the landing. Suddenly Kitty espied him and hissed. He almost jumped out of his skin and became all bristly. There was a stand off for quite a while until Tommy had had enough and fell asleep! He looked so funny all puffed up, as he is already quite a puffball. Kitty emitted a low growl and eventually they sat facing each other until she had had enough and waddled off again.
