certain age. LOL!!!

Ray came up on Saturday and brought our other cat, (I brought the other two with me last week), the dog, and his Mum and they all stayed the night and all day Sunday. It was wonderful and I can't wait for us to be fully moved in here.

This morning I decided, since it's been a week, I would let the two older cats have free reign to go outside on the upstairs verandah, without me watching them like a hawk. YEAH RIGHT!

After about ten minutes, my baby disappeared and I spotted him downstairs in the yard.
Needless to say I didn't panic, but bolted down the stairs, through the front yard, around into the back yard, quickly located him, where he had gone through the fence to the waters edge (slippery bank, totally unsafe), I immediately dashed to the jetty gate and while going through it (without taking my eyes off Mishka), something caught my eye on the jetty, hence my loud scream at which time the snake took off and when I could finally tear my eyes away from the snake and look up, so had Mishka. I thought snakes were deaf????

I still didn't panic! (you do believe me don't you???) But took off along the fence to where he had been, checked the water, under the adjoining fence, climbed as high up the fence as I could to look into next door's back yard, NO MISHKA ANYWHERE!!!! (Still I didn't panic!)

I retraced my steps, climbed through the veranda balcony railing, swinging through the gap, legs first like a kid swings on monkey bars (Ray started building stairs at the opposite end of the veranda but only removed two palings and the top and bottom railings are still there) so you can imagine the sight of me doing this!!!

Anyway I finally found him scratching to get in the downstairs door.

And all that time I didn't panic once, and if you believe that then you also believe in Santa Claus.

All doors are now tightly shut and certain cats will not be allowed outside again until I've had my electrocardiogram!!!!

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!

I'm now off to take a Valium!!!!
