I was out for a stroll at lunch time and I saw something that took me back in time to when i was a young kitten. It's a shame we can't be young when we have the wisdom of having been around a while. I often say to Max and Sebastian that if I knew now what they know now I would know ten times more than they knew.
Anyway there I was walking along the fence tops round the surrounding estates when i cam upon Claudia's garden. I hadn't seen her for a while and rumour had it that she had met up with old Tom up the street one night and got herself into a bit of trouble. I've never been one to listen to idle gossip and rumour but you can't help wondering and I thought I'd pop in and see how things were.
I got to their fence and you could have knocked me off with a feather. There were three kittens in the garden playing in the washing on the line and there was Claudia laying back admiring their work.
She looked up and saw me and hurriedly spoke "Looking after them for a friend while she goes into town!" she said waving a paw at the kittens.
"Lovely little fellows - they look so much like you I thought they were yours!"
"Good lord no. Well I mean I have no regular partner, the two legs here wouldn't like that. They think of me as very respectable"
I wondered if Claudia thought anyone would really believe the caring for them story but it wasn't for me to upset the apple-cart.
"Will your friend be long in town?" I enquired carrying on the pretence.
"She has moved up there so we may have to bring them up ourselves. I can always use a kitten sitter if yu have free time Casper!"
I made my excuses and hurriedly left.
