Heh - I was sitting out the back with the dogs and XENA after feeding the pets. When I got up I discovered that MYSTERY was crouching a metre away! Xena noticed this as well and followed him down the pathway. MYSTERY looks a lot like OSCAR next door, so maybe she was being sure. I put a flea collar on Mystery yesterday, and it's still on.

I heard a noise in the kitchen and there was Mystery Puss desperatelt scrambling over the partition and around the curtain that divides the kitchen from the sun room! I hadn't even gone in there, and wouldn't have if I hadn't heard it scrambling ( Read more... )

Well that was good. Last night I went out to put some dry cat food in a bowl to "bait the trap" on the motion detection. Walked into the spare room...

Pretty good this motion detector - works even before I enable it! I still turned it on ( Read more... )

It occurred to me this morning that some of what I assumed to be evidence of Mystery Kitten, might be evidence of next door's cat!

Oscar is a ginger male with dark ginger stripes. Mystery Kitten is also a ginger cat with dark ginger stripes. Only I know that Oscar's been de-sexed so he's not the father. And I also know that Mystery Kitten's real ( Read more... )
