Worst thing the cat's done.

Sigh. We have been shutting them in overnight after Ratgate, but yesterday evening was different. Being explosions night, we shut in as soon as it got dark. Discovered due to this that the goodest boy was having an IBS flare-up. He projectile pooped on the kitchen floor and also weed in the hearth. They do have a litter in the conservatory, but he obviously didn't want to venture in that direction, only outdoors! Anyway, on an evening constitutional we observed few explosions, so we opened up the door and OH didn't close it at bedtime. Result = me being woken up by frantic OH at 1am with the news of a 'F***ing big rat' in the bathroom. Got there, no rat. Tentatively started patting clothing hung up and said giant ratto was inside my changing robe. Off I trudged, down the garden with my robe...

I'm afraid IBS or not, the door is closing again, later!!!
 
When it rained, ours used to whine at us to let them out, then two seconds later whine at us to come back in (parents didn't have a cat flap), then whine at us to go out, like we'd somehow turned off the rain in the intervening thirty seconds, then realise it was still raining and ask to come in....ad infinitum.
 
Heard crunching sounds and found the Fat Weirdo Murderer finishing off his latest kill behind the sofa. This is literally all that's left. Thinking of making a cat lure out of it...

My cat came home after being away for four months, came through the window like he had never been away, ate two large tins of cat food, and never left the house for a week. He was too clean and fat to have been slumming it, so it seems someone had been feeding him but there were so many posts of Facebook, I put out flyers and I had friends with school age children to look for him in the last months perhaps they stopped.
He has now has a tracker and going out for the odd half day, seems his home from home is about a mile away just outside the village. We live on a small farm with lots of sheds and enough small animals within 10ft of the house, the cats have brought in snakes and baby rabbits to eat, that the cat food is a top up.
I feel a bit miffed,
 
No pictures but Horrid has outdone himself and tried to adopt a pet mouse which we think remained undiscovered for about a week!

He (presumably) brought said mouse into the conservatory and promptly forgot it existed.

It made itself a lovely nest by chewing its way in between the two layers of a fleecey throw which it then made even more comfortable by chewing fluff off a few of the cushions.

It hoarded an impressive quantity of dry cat biscuits (presumably boldly stolen directly from the cat’s bowl during the day as it gets moved into the dining room on a night)

It was given away by its rather messy pooing habits.

It has now been turfed back out into the cold and wet to resume its previous life. Hopefully it won’t attempt to seek Horrid out again for another stay in the mouse hotel!
