One Traumatized Cat

 

Poor Mittens. 

For about three hours last evening I could hear this dull thudding noise happening every now and then.  The neighbours were up to something strange, was what I thought.

And then Millie began racing up and down the hallway with thumping feet, as only a cat can do.  That should have alerted us to something, but it didn’t.

Finally, I thought I would get nosey and investigate the strange noise.  And that was when I heard a tiny piteous little meow – Mittens shut inside the linen cupboard!

She was so traumatized that she refused to leave my side the rest of the evening.  She slept on my bed all night, and now she keeps following me around everywhere.

Mittens is a “needy” cat at the best of times.  She thrives on lots of loving contact with the humans she adores (and hides from the rest of them), so she is being given lots of attention today to help her forget her terrifying experience.

Son and I have been avid followers of the Pacific Super Rugby season this year, watching nearly all the matches as they are broadcast live.

Tonight our local team, the Chiefs, are playing here in Hamilton against the Canberra Brumbies.  We won’t be attending, preferring to keep to our comfortable armchairs while watching the game live on Sky TV.

The Brumbies are ahead of us on the score table, but it is a home game for us and local support might help swing the game in our favour.  Should be a good game, regardless.

Have a Happy Weekend everyone 😊

Margaret.
