Said small tabby cat who doesn’t live here, as she jumped up on to my bed and nuzzled my ear.<\/p>\n
Koff, I replied as I pushed her back to the floor. Do you have any idea what time it is? It’s three o’clock. Three o’ bloody clock. I told you I was letting you stay in on the understanding that you behaved yourself. No secret drinking, no sneaking friends in and no disturbing my fragile sleeping pattern.<\/p>\n
She jumped back on to the bed and nuzzled my ear again.<\/p>\n
Bastard things, cats.<\/p>\n
They worm their way in to your affections; start off on nodding terms but before you know they’ve attached themselves to your life like soft cuddly little limpets.<\/p>\n
Tabby-coloured limpets.<\/p>\n
So I opened my (first floor) bedroom window and threw her out.<\/p>\n
Well no, of course I didn’t.<\/p>\n
I gave her a stern glare and tried to sleep.<\/p>\n
Both failed.<\/p>\n
Bastards.<\/p>\n
