The weather in the UK has been getting progressively wetter and colder as we head towards winter, so the camped out cats have been revising their principles. The female (Lapcat) decided that war was better waged from within and moved her little furry suitcase back into the house about two days ago, preferring to live upstairs and hoping to taunt Muttley by casually sauntering by the stairgate every now and then.
This would be an effective form of battle if Muttley was remotely interested, but it would appear that he is more excited by the prospect of building a shoe mountain by the stairgate in order to keep her on that side. He very gently places one of each pair of shoes by the stairgate, along with his stuffed toy, a rawhide chew and a bouncy ball, and every morning before the school run 'Where's my shoe?' becomes a familiar cry...
Tomcat held out a little longer, and cut a forlorn figure in his lone vigilante stance in the garage, preferring to do a nighttime raid on the kitchen when Muttley was safely in bed. Realising that perhaps his sister had had the better idea, he moved himself into the kitchen yesterday, safely out of reach on a tea towel that had been abandoned on the counter - and carefully positioned himself above a radiator. This is where he now sits, and after a week, we now have our very own Upstairs Downstairs living procedure...
