But will 'Your Cat' talk to you when you get home, knowing you have been fussing another?
Mmm, yes.

We are having 'the conversation', after she went through my recent Forum history...

'My' cat has decided that she needs to win me back.

She hovered around yesterday, but without hassling me much.

She came to bed last night without waking me.

She got up early, went out and came back with an offer of breakfast in bed.

Then, she had a careful, 2-hour inspection of the entire house.

She is now resting in her room, presumably keeping an ear open for my activities...

A sad event here.

This house, and the main base next door, are in the vee of a junction, the other road being a bit busier than the one we front onto. They have many cats and dogs, but are fully aware that 'my cat' is the only one that visits here, excluding any others from this garden.

Yesterday, a passing driver called in next door to inform them the cat hit been struck on the road and was still there, very clearly dead. This caused great distress, especially to the youngest child - she regards the cat as hers and demanded that the corpse be retrieved, for a full burial. She and her father took the car out and managed to get the bloody cadaver into the boot, for the journey home.

As they were trying to get the body out of the car, without causing further mess in the boot, they became aware that they were being watched - by 'my cat', sitting in one of her favoured spots by the boiler exhaust at the back of their house.

As of the current time, it still hasn't been established whose cat they retrieved from the scene of the fatal RTC...


'My cat' has taken all this trauma in her stride, but is still in dispute with me about the way that, without authorisation, I have changed the source of the biscuits that I supply her here. She makes it very plain that they are below her required standard.

This morning, she woke me up at 6am, to inform me that she was going out for breakfast, which she brought back in and ate, without even showing to me, such is her disappointment with my current behaviour.

Yesterday, having got fed up of offering me dead mice, she brought in a live one, for me to train with, in an effort to get me to catch my own, I suppose.

After a while, she got fed up of my failures and forgot about it.

Today, whilst one of us was snoozing in her room, barely managing the occasional yawn...

...the other did manage to catch (and release) it.

There seems to be some sort of role-reversal going on here now.
