Title: Cat burglar!
Post by: berties mum on May 12, 2008, 21:53:35 PM
Was just upstairs putting some washing away, with my back to my half-open Velux window, chatting away to Bertie, as I do  :-[  Suddenly, Bertie's expression changed to one of horror and confusion, so I turned to follow his gaze - just in time to see a strange little black and white cat, with its front legs and head already through the window, trying to squeeze its way inside  :Crazy: :Crazy:  Even when Bert started hissing, it still tried to get inside  :evillaugh:  I gently shooed it away and after rolling around on the roof for a tickle, off she went - I thought she'd got the message.  Five minutes later, Bella started hissing at the back door - and lo and behold, there's our little cat burglar trying to reach up to the door handle  :evillaugh:

I think she's gone now.  Clearly word that I'm a soft touch has got out in the local cat community  :rofl:  Still, she had a collar and tag and looked well-fed, so I don't think she needs a new home!  I wonder what her owners would think about her trying to break into other people's houses!

Minnie is now asleep under the Velux with one eye open  :shify:

I've just got home from work and bumped into one of my neighbours, who asked if she could have a word about Minnie - and then said I really ought to let Minnie sleep indoors at night.  I was really confused as Minnie does sleep indoors at night - I would never let her out after dark  :Crazy:  The neighbour then said that a black and white cat was keeping the neighbourhood awake crying at my front door for half the night - it wasn't Minnie so it must have been our little visitor again!!!  :Crazy: :Crazy:  I think she wants to move in  :scared:  I'm a bit worried that she might be lost, as I've never seen her around before and she's fully grown, plus no one new has moved in nearby.  I might see if I can look at her collar if she comes back later ... there was definitely a tag  :scared:

Ahhh poor little soul .... at least she is friendly so when she comes round again I have no doubt you will be able to catch her and check her tag ... if no info on the tag she may be chipped.

Haven't seen her tonight - heard some footsteps on the roof but it turned out to be my neighbour's cat Freddie.  Maybe puss found her way home?   ;D The sloping roofs and Velux windows in these houses are a source of constant fascination to cats.  When I first moved in, there was a gorgeous ginger cat called Spike next door, who was the biggest, grumpiest boy you've ever seen  :Luv:  I remember leaving the blind open one night and waking with a start to see Spike's big face staring down at me through the roof window - with a facial expression that just said "what are you doing in there?"  :rofl:
