Trixie, I am so sorry, you had a 'ruff' time on Monday into Tuesday. Apart from the lovely daytime garden activities. That is, I imagine two sets of experience left your neck fur resembling a ruff.......and your tail bushed up.
In the morning the RSPCA lady called as arranged, to take you to their vet because your second vaccination was required. I was dreading it because I remember putting our other cats in carriers, not nice for you, is it.
Then believing you would think you were being 'taken back; after a mere three weeks break with me.
You were brought back within the hour and the lady told me you had disgraced yourself, which (I think) meant you attacked the vet. No surprise and not your fault. You were SO happy to be home.
Later in the day, as it was warm, you were recovered and curious about the back garden, you were let out and explored for the first time.........accompanied at times by all of us, including your friend, Charlie. I left the cat flap unlocked at bedtime, seeing you, amazingly, know how to remove the locking panel!!!!!
All fine till 5 a.m. and the kerfuffle outside. You were defending your territory for the first time against an intruder. I am so proud of you! Think that cat is learning not to call here.
The human!
