A week or so ago we went away for a cottage holiday and took the cats with us. We also got to see PTV and HLW which was brilliant...it’s been too long! Anyway, the cats...
We had our week away and then put the cats in the basket to bring them home. Now, we are lucky, with our cats this is quite a simple process and goes something like this:
- Open basket
- Pick cat up off windowsill
- Put cat in basket (leave door of basket open ready for second cat)
- Pick cat up off windowsill
- Put second cat in basket
- Close door.
Now I know you’re all thinking that that’s all wrong and where’s the gauntlets, the shredded curtains and the claws embedded in the outside of the basket? Nope, that’s just the way it is with us and if you can believe it, it gets better...
On the way home (it’s about 4 hours) we stopped for a drink at the services and opened the basket for the cats to stretch their legs and also have a drink. After 20 minutes or so we came back to the car to find them both sitting up on the back seat. Now Grace (being the more nervy) then tried to make a break for ‘under the seat’ when we opened the door but this may have been because she wasn’t certain who was about to open the door. For all she knew it was some mad cat-napper who was going to steal her away and cut her ear off to prove that it really was her whilst asking for a huge ransom (she has quite an imagination - my cat!). Anyway, as soon as she realised it was us she resumed her post on the seat and we got in.
It was at that point that Clumsy climbed in to the basket completely unbidden and Grace followed him. I swear they would have shut the door behind themselves if only they could have reached the latch....!
