Big Mistake

Oh dear. Myself feels there may have been a Big Mistake. Was joined by TYK yesterday afternoon and We both stalked the long, very thin, white Furry Thing with the black bits hanging off it.

It was lying, unsuspecting, on the kitchen table. Myself sat on a chair hoping to hook it off with a delicate paw. TYK decided on more forceful action and leaped up from the floor. Unfortunately the table had been polished and in spite of digging in its claws it slid the whole length and fell back to the carpet. In company with several books (Very heavy), His half-drunk mug of coffee from His morning rest, and the FT (Furry Thing). Made an appreciable amount of noise.

They came running in to see TYK disappear behind the piano with the FT in its little pink mouth. Such an Uproar ensued. (Education) He pulled the piano away from the wall a little bit and She poked behind it with a brush. TYK backed up, pulling the by now extremely grubby FT with it but She managed to grab the end. Could have been a fun game of Tug-o-War if They hadn't been so cross. Yanked hard and the FT came apart - She got most of it by TYK remained in possession of a tiny bit of white fur with one black dangly bit. She screamed, He roared and Myself made an unobserved exit.

But TYK had backed up too far and He could reach it from the other end of the piano. Was pulled out by its rump. Still holding onto its hard-won portion of FT. It was at this moment that TYK realised it was Not All A Game. Was pushed outside and They cleaned and inspected the remnants of the FT with horror. And the coffee stain on the books and carpet. And the deep scratch marks in the table top.

The cat-flap has many cobwebs, dirty fluff and bits of white and yellow fur around the opening.
