As luck would have it Mogsie and the darker Naughty Twin have been running all over Catworld this morning playing hide and chase.
Well it was now or never so when I spotted him hiding by our bins I knocked on the window to get his attention.
He looked up at me and smiled. I was a bit stumped. How on earth do you start this sort of a conversation?
There's three options
One - bottle it and say nothing
Two - waffle around and have the message lost or
Three - be blunt.
So blunt was then.
You know she's very young and inexperienced, I began
He looked back at me blankly
You're not! I said.
Oh dear this sounded so patronising and like I was telling him off. I then tried to soften my words by smiling at him. Hopefully he would understand I wasn't trying to interfere.
Sarah's worried about her she called by yesterday to see if I could have a word with her, I carried on
OK he said slowly but I wasn't sure it was making much sense to him. Oh this is so awkward.
Just be careful, I continued, I wouldn't want any of you to get hurt. I smiled again.
This time he smiled back. I appreciate your candor BRAVE Lil'
Brave why would he use that word? There was something in his face that was saying more than just his words were.
Then suddenly I had a flash back to that night a couple of weekends ago down by the tunnel. A pair of eyes in the darkness that I couldn't make out. Gulp!
With that off he ran after the darker Naughty Twin.
