Tuffty and my stress levels
 
Tuffty seems to think my stress levels are too low and need
raising.........he keeps going missing. On Sunday he was supervising
DH and I clearing out the greenhouse and tidying up the flowerbeds
(and generally getting in our way). Monday morning no sign of him,
this about the 6th time this year he's gone missing. Tuesday morning
no Tuffty. Wednesday morning no Tuffty, this is about the time my
brain starts going from worried to panic mode. The neighbours must
think I'm mad as they see me furtively looking in their gardens as I
walk the streets clicking my tongue (it's a sound I've trained them,
the cats not the neighbours, to respond to). At lunchtime I went into
the garden to hang some washing out to dry and who should
appear......yep....Tuffty, and a right old telling off he gave
me....."where's my food, can't you see I'm starving, if you don't feed
me NOW I'll waste away to nothing"....so like the obedient servant
that I am I stop what I'm doing and find something suitable for the
taste buds of a discerning cat. Between mouthfuls of food Tuffty
continues to tell me what a lazy, ungrateful human being I am....no
mention of where *HE* has been for the last 2 1/2 days.

So pleased to hear all ended well and Tuffty made his way back home or was
he hiding somewhere close by watching you and thinking I will teach her, she
can't ignore me and get away with it!!!!!! Consider yourself chastised.

I very strongly suspect he gets himself shut in a neighbours
shed/garage, but it's strange that he's always missing for roughly the
same days.

H'e still telling me off today even though I've given his tummy a good
tickling and some Tuna. :-)

Tuffy is probably in the Motherships equivalent of the National Guards. He is
on a very strict schedule, must fulfill his patriotic duties to the mothership
and the higher order of the feline population. ;-)

Ahhh! Stupid hoomin that I am, I never thought of that. ;-)

I think I've been forgiven for my sins (whatever they may be), there
was a freshly killed, un-nibbled mousie in the cathouse this
afternoon......just what I wanted for my dinner.
