Kitchen Re-spray Mystery and Deep Thoughts.

Yes, another mystery this week. While all the humans were out at work and Millhouse and I dozed in our chosen daytime nesting spots, an uninvited Tom-puss must have sneaked through our flatcap and poked around in our private quarters. When Mr and Mrs came home it was with squinty eyes and flared nostrils that they encountered the dreaded Tom scent everywhere. Disgusting, we all agreed and consequently had to endure the best part of half an hour with all the doors and windows open -even though it was a cold, windy 2C outside! Any cat who passes our windows gets a frosty look and wagged finger/paw from all of us now. 'Trouble is they all look guilty. I expect you've noticed that whenever you come across a cat outside, they almost always have to pretend they're doing something important. Millhouse is all for duffing-up any passing cat now and keeps dashing out the flatcap enthusiastically to see even the most unlikely passing puss off our patch. We think the offender is also the mystery bowl cleaner who sneaks in in the dead of night and licks our bowls spotlessly clean -for that is something we never, ever do! (Rule No. 12)
On another subject, I overheard my humans accusing me of being a bit dim the other day and it was merely because I was huddled in the Formula One Car pose very closely facing the fridge door and staring at it. Oh, I know humans think it odd that we should stare so closely at a blank piece of white metal or even a wall for twenty minutes but what they don't know is how deeply we are in complex thought. Actually, I was contemplating mans' misconception that the wind blows on windy days when, as a weather expert, I reckon it sucks. Oh, humans know so little, don't they! I'd like to hear one say, "It's so windy today I was almost sucked across the pavement!"
It's still a bit on the chilly side out in the big world even though the sun is shining, daylight's getting longer, the daffodils are flowering and some trees are blossoming. Won't be long before I can sit in my favourite summmer spot after my tea and have a good wash.
