They Must Be Very Jumpy After That!

I've only just heard what happened. I was out with daddy in the back garden, he was hanging out some washing and I was watching him from the garage roof when I saw the lighter Naughty Twin on her garage roof and I called over asking her if everything was OK.

She told me that she was but that she'd heard yesterday that one of the Squirrels had been chased by Foxy Lectar on Thursday evening and that Squirrel Tree was in all of a tiss.

I was not happy to hear this and after nodding a thanks to her I strode right off to Squirrel Tree to see if Craig was around. The Squirrels are out friends here and an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

Unfortunately just as I got there River appeared and started barking, I heard a rustling above which I can only assume was the Squirrels running off, they must be very jumpy after that!

Oh Well I Thought

I've been virtually locked in with Daddy all day in the office but I don't mind that at all, the trouble is he's not had the window open much and it got so hot that I fell asleep and only woke up when he was leaving and pushed the windows wide open.

Oh well I thought as I'm awake now I might as well have a little walk out on the window ledge and see what's going on when I saw the darker Naughty Twin following Sarah in a great big hurry. Neither of them looked that happy so I guess something has occurred I'm just not sure what at the moment but my catty powers are telling me it's not good!

Damn

Damn, thought I'd got away with that one sneaking past her when she was distracted playing with Daddy, but she's spotted me. Right I'm off.

My Perfect Afternoon...

My perfect afternoon, just dreaming it away, so please don't disturb me like that again, all that running around Daddy it's just not required.

He Was Back Last Night

I've been lazing around with Daddy in the office, trying to look after him, bless he can't keep his food down but there he is giving it his best, I always think if some one tries you should be their to support him. I'd suggest chewing on some grass it always works for us cats, anyway I've just spotted George and he had some news, he found some fresh Fox mess, he was back last night.

I spotted George as he was on his way over to let the lighter Naughty Twin know what was going on, she's virtually been camped out over the road since Mogsie was attacked, she's a feisty young thing and has become an integral part of Catworld this past year. 

Right eye back on the ball, more Dreamies to be left out, he must fall into our trap for all our sakes.

A Blind Panic

Daddy came bursting out of the office, which he's locked me out of earlier when I ran all over his work and disturbed him, in a blind panic.  I had no idea what was going on but ran after him, if he needed my help I wanted to be on hand. Down he ran and I thought as first was going into the living room but he sped round into the kitchen.

River's head popped up and I thought she was about to chase me so I jumped over the sofa and onto the sideboard and knocked AloHa's Underwater World.

Oh my the poor things darted around, I felt so guilty I stuck my head in to let them know everything was going to be OK.

Oh there was no panic from Daddy he was just in a hurry to get a biscuit, I saw him munching one as he wandered back upstairs.

A Block

Rivers asleep and I have peace which is most acceptable this morning, Stay Daddy has locked me out of the office so I can't hang out there and with the weather being so beautiful today I know they'll be loads of cats out in Catworld.

I was right I spotted Spit and Emma both getting some lunch just now and George has meandered by although I didn't get the chance to ask any of them if there's any more news on Mogsie.

I do hope he comes back soon, things have been a bit quiet without him. There's been no sightings of Foxy over the past couple of days I thought we were drawing him in so all's gone a little of the boil on that front and I really could do with talking to Mogsie about the Easter Island Head and LUM I seem to have hit a block where that's concerned.

Getting Business Done

Bank Holiday Monday's around here are pretty lazy occasions but even I was surprised that both the Daddies were up before 9. It's not unusual for Stay Daddy to be up listening to the birds chorus, some reason much to Disappears chagrin, but Disappears was up to they said they were off out and where having an early start.

Looks it, they've turned on the TV and are laughing at that family that lives in The Middle of America. The mothers banging on about getting her business done, sounds advice for once, although all this debating she's doing about what her business actual is is obvious, tidy up!

Stay's business is getting up off his bum and doing what he said he was going to do today, my business getting up on that lap before he does, Disappears business is making sure River stays exactly where she is and her's is not to chase me, Nadia will do her usual and mind her own business. Now that's what I call getting business done!

A Diamante Necklace

I've not been able to sneak away all weekend. The one quiet moment I was having was when I enjoying a little of the breeze yesterday morning just chilling watching a butterfly who dropped by to say Hi...



When River decided to follow me again, it took her ages to see what I was watching as I kept on putting her off the scent by looking in different directions, well I may as well make the best of the situation that I could.

When WHS came in River went mad and I decided that was my exit call I was till pretty tired so went upstairs to dream the afternoon away.

A hullabaloo woke me up and I decided to come down see what all the fuss was about. Ah River's doing her party piece again. 

I must admit she's doing very well, I can remember when she could barely make the sofa seat and now here she is bounding around like a Whirling Dervish. I'm impressed I'll admit, not as good as us cats of course but impressive all the same.

These days I prefer more gentile past times and have really enjoyed tootsie time this week with Daddy and some much loved time on the floor without having to watch my back with three of them to keep an eye on River's whereabouts I could play easy.

I decided to do a runner when I saw River on the table and the scissors in Daddies hand, I know I won't get a haircut but sometimes you can just never tell with those two when they're in Spa treatment mode I could end up with a diamante necklace.

Ah How Lovely

Ah how lovely, the sun is shining, River is asleep with Disappears upstairs and Stay Daddy is playing tootsie with me, a perfect start to the day.

Sparring Partners

Well that was a good sleep, I could do with some more but I'm also feeling hungry and I must keep my stamina up.

George looks so lost with his sparring partner out of action, I bet he can't wait until Mogsie is back to normal. Yeah him and the rest of us.

Up All Night

Well I've been up all night and there's been no sign of Foxy, I think it may be the rain that's kept him away. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive in case he did turn up, I know we've only on watch to monitor his movements but the adrenaline that's in me when I think of what he's done is not a nice feeling and I know what I'm like I hate injustice it makes me rear up and that is not what's needed at the moment.

I think I'll just chill myself out up her in the Peace Garden before I go in and get some sleep, if I don't I know I won't be able to drop off.

Time To Step It Up

It's my turn on night shift tonight so I spent most of the day asleep so that I would be alert later. I got up when Stay Daddy went to go find Disappears he can be noisy at times, not exactly light of foot when he's in a rush.

I jumped up in the window to get myself an update from the lighter Naughty Twin who was on night watch last night. I don't know how she does it up all night and all day as still looks as fresh as a daisy.

Yes there had been some disturbances around although minor and the food we'd left out had been taken, so I guess that confirms Foxy is now coming most nights. Daddy said he'd spotted him on Monday night but by the time I went to look he'd run up the road, presumably to terrorise some other cats around here as well.

Spit and Sarah where also taking in the last of the evening light, Sarah engrossed in her dinner, Spit nodded over a you OK. I nodded back in the affirmative. This has knocked us all a bit for six he's not looking quite as relaxed and carefree as he has been since defecting from the New Cat Crew, I think it's time to step it up, we need this nonsense with that scoundrel to come to an end.

After George's Revelation

After George's revelation I've been keeping a bit of a low profile staying pretty much with Stay Daddy wherever he went. It's not that I'm scared but I am cautious, there's no point in putting myself in too much peril but I also don't want to give in to bullies either.

Daddy finally finished work and came down stairs so I thought I'd join him. Foxy hasn't as far as I'm aware been spotted in late afternoon and I did need to get a bit of fresh air and as River was out in the garden I felt it was the perfect circumstance to go out and have a bit of a look around see if there was any Fox signs around.

Of course I had to do a bit of a runner from River who wanted to play chase, it's not her fault I'm not in the mood but maybe she's not so silly after all as although she did chase me all the way up when I got to the back she seemed to back of from her usual habit of jumping up at me if there was the slightest chance she could get near. 

I didn't see anything but I am keeping me eyes peeled, I think I'll hang around see if Craig is around with any news.

The Word On The Street

Just as we were going to be last night Daddy said

Who's that out there?

I looked out the window and in the darkness saw George sitting not far from our step. I didn't think too much of it, it was a warm night, but this morning I saw him again sitting out the front and asked him if he had been there all night. 

His answer was yes, he said he wanted to make sure I was OK through the night and that the word on the street was that I was next on Foxy's list.

What A Day!

What a day it's turned out to be. It started out a normal Sunday, I came downstairs early with Stay Daddy while River and Disappears had a bit of a lay in. 

I was up with Daddy in the window when I saw the lighter Naughty Twin walking by, I called out and she saw me but no signs of Foxy being over their last night as far as she knew. 

I then heard Disappears and River coming down so decided to swap places and go back upstairs for a bit of a rest. I'd just got settled when I heard the doorbell going, curiosity and the cat and all that and I ventured back and could see River going crazy at the window, outside the Daddydaddy and Daddymummy had turned up. River generally goes loopy when they come so I decided to let her get it out of her system before coming back to say Hi.

I'm not sure how long I was asleep but when I did wake things seemed a little calm so I thought I'd come down and see how things where, I like the Daddymummy she came and looked after us and we bonded, she's a very nice lady and always makes sure she includes me, River was waiting so I ran up to the table out of her way.

The Daddymummy came up I thought to see me but then she laid her hands on the table, I think she was about to have a seance or something like that and not wanting to disturb her I decided to go out and enjoy some of the afternoon sunshine, it really is a beautiful day.

It was when I went outside that I saw it, Foxy Lectar do-dah's right by the backdoor. OMG he was within a foot of the house last night.

My heart pounded a bit, it was our plan to lure him in but it's a bit different when you are confronted with the evidence that he's not only been here but so close and so disrepectful but then again what do you expect from such a scoundral!

I thought I'd go up and have a chill out in the Peace Garden and see if The Wiseman was available to give any sound advice. I didn't have time to tune in when I heard it again;

LUM

OMG what with everything that had happened with Mogsie and Foxy this past couple of weeks the LUM from the Easter Island Head had gone to the back of my head.

I would have explored things further but then River and Stay Daddy came out looking for Nadia, he must have seen the poop and realised she would be in danger if she buried herself in for the night. Mogsie had a difficult enough time with Foxy, there's no way Nadia would be able to take him on.


I went searching for any of the group but had no luck, although later on when I came back and the Daddymummy and Daddydaddy had gone I managed to catch hold of Spit and fill him in. He said he would spread the word, our plan looks like it's working, let's see what tonight brings!

Not The Best Place

Not the best place in the world to have a bathe Sarah.

Short Term Pain For Long Term Gain!

The darker Naughty Twin has just come by. He's heard from Craig via the Wood Pigeons via Ginger Cat, that the rumour on the street is that Foxy is laughing at us for being so careless with our food, leaving it lying around everywhere and that he's beginning to think he's scared us all and that maybe we are leaving him offerings.

Our master plan appears to be working but we're in this for a big pay-off, getting rid of him once and for all but we can't risk getting all excited and rushing this. We need to really make him believe that he has really scared us and that with our hero Mogsie out of action at the moment lull him into a false sense of security that the coast is clear for him to come in and take over Catworld.

Right I must save some more Dreamies to put out tonight, short term pain for long term gain!

George Has Just Licked His Lips, The Bait's Been Taken!

I'm up with Daddy in the window enjoying the sun, well pretending to enjoy the sun, what I'm really doing is keeping a watch out for any secret signs from the rest of the gang.

George is out on the other side of the road sniffing around, his role in our master plan is to check each day to see if there's been any signs of Foxy in the district from the night before, taking our bait of the food that we've left out, we've got to be very careful of the information that we put out.

Craig and the Wood Pigeons are helping us but with any plan the fewer people that know about it the better. Some of the cats around here we've found to our dismay can't be trusted and while the cat information network is a fantastic way of us being able to communicate with each other sometimes it can backfire and we don't want our plan being discovered by Flash or Chameleon.

George has just licked his lips, the bait's been taken!

Ah The Sweet Smell...

Every single time without fail that I've gone downstairs this week River has chased me through the living room, this morning was near enough the last straw, I only wanted to eat a Dreamies or two.

I should learn my lesson and just stay upstairs with Daddy. Ah the sweet smell of peace and quiet, at last!

A Dangerous Game We're Playing

The darker Naughty Twin, has just given me the nod, he's heard on the grapevine, well via Craig, that there's stirrings around news has got to Foxy that there's food all over Catworld

Now that things are moving forward I'm beginning to get nervous, it's a dangerous game we're playing, but a necessary one!

Don't Get Too Comfy

I've just spotted Spit sitting in Mogsie's place, um not too sure how I feel about that! I thought Daddy was going over their to shoo him off but he knocked on M's door and got a package, she must have taken it in for him. 

I was glad he did as he came back with information, Mogsie's cone collar is now off and he's venturing upstairs now although it is taking him a time what with his tail bandage and everything. M said that he's beginning to want to come outside which is a good sign although he's still not well enough yet. Fingers crossed he's on the mend now although they've got to take him back to the Doctors later on this week.

It's All A Part Of Our Master Plan!

Everyones up nice and early this morning laying out little titbits of food out for Foxy. The darker Naughty Twin has been given the task of co-ordinating everyone.

Spit is keeping watch out down the road and making sure some food is left over under R's car.

George is keeping a watchful eye over this side of the road and hiding food in the drain and I've been over laying out Dreamies on the garage roof's. It's all a part of our master plan!

I Can't Believe What I Was Seeing

I know River really loves Nadia but I do feel sorry for her, Daddy was only trying to give her a bathe and River kept on trying to interrupt her, drink from her bath and then, and I can't believe what I was seeing, tried to get in. 

Poor Nadia, Daddy had to move her to the table out of harms way and to let her bathe in peace.
