What an adventure Kitty has had this week! Paul decided to put him in the loft to check that there were no mice up there - after our experiences last year, he was taking no chances. Kitty found one dead mouse as well as lots of interesting smells and things to investigate. But when Paul decided it was time to bring Kitty back down again, he discovered that Kitty had other plans :-( So, it was handbags at dawn, with Paul retreating to lick his wounds and work out a strategy for getting Kitty out of the loft. In the meantime, Bev had her own plans - she was going to starve the little bugger into submission!
Roll forward to Saturday morning and both Bev and Paul were exhausted after sleepless nights listening to Kitty pacing up and down in the loft, and Kitty had had no food or water since Wednesday evening. STALEMATE! Paul thought a suitcase was the answer, depite one failed attempt when Kitty escaped as he was trying to zip up the case. This time he used Bev's hard-shelled case - he persuaded Kitty to sit inside the case, WHAM the lid came down and Kitty was physically removed from the loft inside the suitcase. Kitty seemed remarkably unfazed by the whole incident, though he was very hungry and thirsty, but Bev and Paul were physical and emotional wrecks!
So, it is now catch-up time - Kitty needs to catch up on missed food, drink, cuddles and visits round his territory, while Bev and Paul need to catch up on some uninterrupted sleep!
