Hormonal Hannah is at the end of her not so little tether! She has sent Baggy's brain to mush too. Last night she got Baggy to try and call Calum to say goodnight, on the remote control! She then couldn't work out why the channel changed on the telly. Seriously, it's a worry. Furry Mama then shut the Hinge cat in the spare bedroom as she has each night; she is safe from being "licked" in there and it's her favourite room to sleep in normally. Baggy and Bracket kat were just nodding off, when there was a loud noise of plastic on wood. The Hinge was trying to get through the shut door. Freda Fretter couldn't leave her there so Baggy went and tried to open the door - easier said than done, when there is a very fat cat with her "cone" pressed on it from the other side. Baggy managed it eventually, then Freda waited to see what Hinge would do. Furry Mama couldn't let her go downstairs because Minty Mutt might start trying to lick her tail. Baggy went back to bed and listened.
The creaking floorboards in the bedroom were the clue that she was heading to Furry Mama. Suddenly a plastic-headed fur ball leapt over the end of the bed and landed on Baggy, scaring the living daylights out of Bracket kat, who leapt about two feet in the air and shot out of the bedroom hissing like a snake. The Hinge is clearly going through the same night-fears that Baggy went through after her operation and wanted some company. She slept with Furry Mama all night, as Bracket sulked on the landing.
This morning the Hinge was determined to get outside. Mint and Bracket went out, so why couldn't she? Meow, meow, meow! Furry Mama tried to explain. She decided to feed the Hinge while the other two were out. Clever Bird took Hinge's collar off. Baggy put her gloves on and crushed up the antibiotic tablet in cling film before putting it on her food. (As Baggy is allergic to the penicillin in it, she must not touch it). Hinge had one mouthful, then meowed to go out again. And breathe Baggy. Clever Bird kept an eye on things. Hinge jumped down from her food and looked pitifully at Furry Mama and meowed more to go out. Furry Mama put her back by her food. And repeat! Clever Bird took Baggy's gloves off. Hinge decided to scratch the door as Minty does when he wants to go out. Furry Mama plopped the Hinge on the cat litter, she hopped off. And repeat.
Baggy gave up. And picked up the penicillin covered cling film and put it in the bin - arrrrggggghhh! Quick hand wash. And breathe. Minty Mutt was by now scratching the paint off the back door trying to get in. Baggy opened the door. Bracket shot through his legs and hissed at the cone-thing. Minty Mutt went to protect the Hinge and trod on Baggy's bare foot. Hormonal Hannah yelled at him; he spun round and trod on the Hinge. And breathe. Clever Bird decided that she had better give in on the Hinge eating and put the cone back on her - yeah right! Eventually she succeeded. Cue massive hot flush for Baggy to go with the frayed nerves. Well at least Calum will be home in time to come to the vets with Furry Mama............
