The Princess Emily Diaries .
Well this week has seen the arrival of a local dignitary at the centre. This dashing older gentleman has, by all accounts, lived quite the life and is very well travelled. I havenβt had the pleasure of his company, but I must admit, the thought of meeting him has me positively giddy. Not only is he a very handsome tabby ( my personal favourite), but he is also titled ( could he be more perfect....) and i find myself longing to hear tales of his adventures. I have been joyously single for years, but I must confess I feel together we could be like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton ( or for you youngsters out there ,Posh and Becks).... a girl can dream.....
In other news, a certain fine whiskered tuxie lady has reinstated her favourite game with our Cattery staff. She did this for some time, until the staff got wise to her, then in typical feline fashion... she stopped doing it. Now they are all far too chilled. She has them on their toes again. I have to admire her ingenuity... I will explain. This young lady came in as a spicy feral with her babies. I did chuckle to myself when the staff used to go into her pen, hiding behind a homemade polycarb riot shield to protect their ankles... yes, she was a nipper.... Time passed, her babies went to their forever homes, and her hot temper subsided.... the odd hiss, yes, but nothing of concern. Then she started to realise these humans werenβt so bad ( and more importantly, held the key to her getting her favourite posh nosh ( no sachets for this lady) and she embarked upon a charm offensive, rubbing around their legs while they prepare her meals ( this really pleased them) but the devil inside her couldnβt resist the temptation of just a tiny love nip to the calf , boy did they jump!. Soon they got wise and feral towers became a short free zone, even in summer.....Deviously she then stopped for several months, lulling the hapless slaves into a false sense of security..... Oh, how I laughed when I realised recently that the shrieks I kept hearing meant that the hunger games were back on.... ( it definitely makes a change from listening to the pigeons hopping across the roof!)
Till the next time.....
