Cat Burglar????

Well a good end to the week, apart from Wednesday night.

Firstly, the good part. We have the weekend off as transport for builds 4 & 5 going to Noah's Ark in Perth can't come until Monday, so we are all taking the 2 days off for a treat.

Also, more camping sites are in the process of the planning stage for their own 'Hobbit houses'.

Now, the Wednesday night....

For months, Lucy the cat has been getting me up at all hours through the night, so bought a catflap months ago and I've been 'intending' since (repeatedly) to get it fitted. So at last, tools brought from the workshop, it was installed, and so much easier than the last one I tried.

So far, so good.

Fitting the magnetic collar to Lucy....no problem. Still good.

Then, at 3 in the morning, I hear a crescendo in the kitchen. Something not so good is happening in there. I leap out of bed, barefoot, and straight onto a floor littered with cat biscuits.

Now, I could likely do the hot coal-walking stuff if I was mentally prepared for it beforehand, but the sharp pain caused by scattered Whiskas bikkies contacting soft feet was excruciating.

To make matters worse, Lucy was doing the 'wall of death' run around the kitchen, with her stainless steel food bowl firmly attached to the side of her head, courtesy of the magnetic collar to operate the bloody catflap.

The update is that all cat bowls have been replaced with plastic ones...oh, and she still hasn't eaten since the incident.
