Keep Your Eyes Peeled with a Kitten
My friends and I were all reminiscing recently about our pet cats when they were kittens and the types of trouble they managed to get themselves into! Tikka was a scraggly, skinny looking ginger kitten that could fit into the palm of my hand when I first got him. He’d been quite poorly to begin with and I wasn’t sure he’d make it but after a few weeks of care and attention he was soon getting up to mischief.
Kittens like to explore, particularly dark cosy places such as cupboards, alcoves, spaces behind furniture and appliances and also washing machines. I vividly remember losing Tikka in the first few weeks he was given free reign of the house. A friend had called round and then left again and when I went to cal Tikka he was nowhere to be seen. I searched high and low, checked the back garden and there was still no sign of him. I had an empty, sick feeling in my stomach. Had he managed to sneak out into the street? I was distraught and ran up and down the street looking for him but he was nowhere to be seen. I went back into the house and started to look again. Suddenly from behind me there was a creak and the wardrobe door gently opened and a snoozy ginger kitten pushed his nose out, yawning! He’s been there all the time.
Another friend told me recently of how here cat, Oliver, managed to get himself trapped in a neighbours house that was vacant and up for sale. For two days Nicola searched the neighbourhood and was finally giving up when a neighbour spotted him frantically pawing the window of the empty house! The tiny bundle had sneaked in when the estate agent was giving some buyers viewing and had remained locked inside!
With kittens you really need to keep your wits about you and check rooms, shed and washing machines before you close the door.
