Happy Birthday Cat

list-less

The kitten brought in a young blackbird this morning. Big caffuffle...and the bird ran into the understairs cupboard. Had to empty floor of cupboard to get to the bird. So may as well sort that cupboard out now! Bird seemed OK, released in garden. Cat admonished and confined indoors for a while...nipped out and bought a collar with bell. Not really keen on collars, but perhaps just while the young birds are around. DD2 made it into school on time...just....but with a tale to tell.
