A Little Cat of Very Big Consequence

Image
Last week we got a fright at our house.   Well in truth it was me who got the fright, thankfully no one else was upset by a drama that unfolded in our home over a 13 hour period. Our pet cat Berry went missing.   It never happened before, in 8 ½ years we have always known where she is.   This knowledge has been facilitated by a very distinctive squawking sound she makes.   That and the fact that she doesn’t seem to be aware that she’s actually feline, which has led to some distinctively odd behaviour on her part. She likes to bathe for instance, not in a puddle in the back garden, but in our bath or shower, particularly on warm days, she waits for the water to go down to her comfort level, then she gets in and sits in it.   Cooling her derrière and paws.   She then very considerately gets out and dries herself on the floor mat.   Honestly, she loves it.   She always loves anything garlicky in flavour, eats things off her paw and can open the fridge.   She’s a little odd I’ll admit,
