Would you believe it.

I was having a nap on the duvet this afternoon when I heard two legs coming up the stairs puffing and panting and talking to himself. Well I thought he was talking to himself - turned out he was talking to Sebastian who he was carrying up stairs, hence the puffing. I lay there and wondered whether Seb had had some kind of mishap and was having to be carried. If I hadn't been quite so comfortable I would have gotten up and had a look. There was my mistake.

Next thing I saw them pass by the door to my bedroom and he laid Sebastian on the bed and gave him a few words about being good and not climbing out the window. Sebastian climbing out the window - do me a favour! That's like seeing pigs fly past your window every day for a month.

I then twigged something was amiss and was about to get up when two legs was at the door peering in at me.

"Good lad, Casper. Have a sleep and I'll see you shortly."

Have a sleep? I had been asleep for the last hour or so and he was clattering about the house waking me up and then telling me to sleep. Crazy! Anyway before I had time to argue the point the door was closed on me. I knew something was up then.

I called to Max and he replied from the garage where he was having a nap on the back seat of the car. I told him to get up and run. Too late as I spoke I heard the garage door close and the key turn. Max was a prisoner too.

Then I heard it. A car pulled up and two dogs started yelping and barking. The front door opened and they were in my house. I couldn't even consult with my brothers, we had been separated either intentionally or not.

I heard them go out into the garden and I climbed onto the window sill and looked out. There they were running about my garden, playing with my toys and sniffing my plants. I told Max. We cats have very acute hearing and we can communicate over great distances. We don't need those telephones and things the two legs use. Our voices are powerful and at a high frequency.

Max said he could see them too as he was standing on the roof of the car looking through the garage door window. Sebastian said he didn't care either way as the bed was comfortable and he hadn't had to climb the stairs to get there!

It seemed forever before the two legs came and released us from our captivity and we all went to investigate - even Sebastian. He was relieved he had left a half eaten piece of liver in the downstairs loo and it was still there. he finished that up in a moment.

On checking everything seemed to be in order so I guess the inconvenience of internment for a period wasn't too bad.
