New broom...new story.

After showing friends the "re-vamped" canvas

SHRINKING VIOLET...UNCHAINED

As I tidied the bedroom, my attention was drawn to a soft fluttering around my ankles.

Looking down, I caught a glimpse of golden fur. The small speckled cat darted from

beneath the bed and danced around my feet.

Strange, I thought. "Where did you come from Missy?"

I don't "do" cats. 

"Best you go home now" and I stooped to catch the happy little creature by her scruff.

"Now , now...hissing is not polite. You belong outside!" I said as I carried the wriggling mass out through the kitchen door.

The moment I released my grip she bounced playfully around the lawn.

Suddenly a much heavier, fluffier feline shot into view, and the pair bolted for the far end of the garden.

Strange, I thought again, A Wild cat and a Lynx , both on the same day?

I followed the pair to the bottom of the garden, but lost sight of them as they scrambled through the hedge.

Entering the outbuilding to my right, I could hear Hubby.

"um...are both dogs with you?" I asked , feeling slightly unsettled by the unusual visitors.

"Yes...I'm getting their food"

"Do me a favour and keep the inner door closed will you? I need to check that the cats have gone."

"What cats?"

"I'll tell you later"  and I turned to open the outer door, just in time to see the black sleek form of a Panther, slowly strolling up the garden path.
