As it was our birthday last week and she couldn't come to the party down the lane I decided to take my sister Bluebelle out last night. I know you will have trouble understanding this but we have the same birthday but we are not twins. We look completely different but we were born on the same day. I tried explaining it to Max and Sebastian once but Max got confused and Sebastian fell asleep half way through.
Anyway I had a word with my sister over the fence during the morning and we agreed to meet up and go out for a drink and a spot of ratting last night.
I had a nice long sleep so I would be ready and able to impress her and then I came down and asked the two legs to let me out.
"No you're not going out. I want an early night!" she answered.
That was disaster what was I to do. I had my sister waiting for me and I didn't want to be late. truth be told she is a very pretty girl and I was looking forward to walking out with her.
I started a number of tricks to get out. first I climbed the curtains chasing an imaginary fly. Then I decided to scratch the furniture - that usually gets them so mad. Tonight they just shouted at me. He was watching his football with all those little two legs running about in the box in the corner. I jumped up on the TV stand and sat in front of it so he couldn't see. One of the two legs booted the ball straight at my bottom and I was about to jump when it rebounded away without touching me. I must have some kind of aura about me.
Is till wasn't winning so I decided to use Max's ploy. He goes to the doors and just scratches on the glass. it makes a horrible noise but he just keeps going until they get up and open the door for him. It worked in no time I was outside with strict orders to be back in 10 minutes.
Very silly order to give because in case you hadn't noticed we cats don't wear watches. if we did they would slide down our legs and end up in all the puddles we like to play in.
I was still early and I got to Bluebelle's cat flap just as she was checking her appearance before coming out. I tried to whistle at her but I never learned how and it came out as a rather wet psst. First move of the night - an embarrassment!
She came out and smiled - she looked very nice.
We went off for our evening and had a lovely time. She hadn't been into the woods before and when we got there she was a bit nervous but I was all manly and reassured her and showed her the best place for catching the shrews and voles as they come out for their food. They are quite a jolly bunch over there and know me now and let me catch them. Bluebelle was impressed and when I took Sidney shrew back to her she asked if she should eat him. I was horrified and Sidney was a bit put out. I explained it was all a game and we didn't need to eat them as we had plenty of food at home. In fact I told her there was a standing arrangement that if the weather giot bad and there was no food about for Sidney and his family they were allowed over to ours to share our food. Bluebelle thought I was a true humanitarian.
We finally went home and I saw her to her cat flap. We rubbed noses before she finally disappeared indoors and the flap clanged closed.
I wandered home feeling full of the joys of Spring.
"Where have you been? It's gone midnight. Didn't I say 10 minutes? You're grounded now matey!" I forgot they have to stay up to let me in - No cat flap like my sister.
I went to bed somewhat deflated but at least I have some good memories
