cat-sitting and cat absence

Charlotta, I think you may be right! They really are tiny, and seem to have big feet! Your neighbour sounds a bit like mine - she says Daisy likes to go in and run up and down her stairs - we don't have any!

Rory, our adopted Scottish feline cat, now shares his upmarket apartment [a new wheelie bin on it's side, complete with basket and several bowls] with a hedgehog. First spotted two nights ago in R's den when he was on a regular walkabout. Rory returned last evening. On leaving R's supper, we saw that hedgehog was curled up in one of R's empty bowls. Happy as larry!

Update. Not seen little horror since Tuesday. Friend back tomorrow. I shall give a sigh of relief when she is home and little horror turns up. Never again. Although, little horror's mum is a dear friend and her absences Oh Hum - you'll all hear about it. Sorry. But necessary.

was tring to say her absences are necessary. New computer/useless fingers.com.

Our rector's beloved cat died whilst he was on leave, and so when the curate came back from his holiday the church secretary showed him where she had stored the inert body and expected him to dig a grave in the Rectory garden! Clay is hard to dig and the hole needed to be deep, so passing foxes did not dig up the (very smelly) remains. Then on the rector returned the had to break the sad news! The rector told the curate it was good training in pastoral care!!

Friend returned yesterday afternoon and her cat arrived snootily five hours later much to our relief. Thank you all for your interesting posts.
