    Little Cat here, feisty 13F ginger and white tabby. Rabble- rouser, activist and human-baiter extraordinaire. I eavesdrop on my

    Female Human's phone calls. I am a cat, I make no apology for that. My eavesdropping is how I knew she planned to take me

    to the pokey place this afternoon, to get poked by one of the vet nurses. (Not Dr Emma.)

    So instead of having my afternoon nap on the bed, I had a nice lie down under the kitchen table. Then watched (from beneath narrowed

    eyelids), as the Female Human turned the house upside down looking for me. According to the Fluffleupagus (8F ginormous grey

    fluffy cat), the Female Human even gently patted any lumps in the bed (shoddy housekeeping there) in case I was one of them. Nope.

    She even checked under the table twice, but I was in a corner, by the pantry, and she couldn't see me in the shadow. So she

    sighed and went to the back door in case I'd accidentally slipped out. I decided I should really give her a clue, so I let out a little

    meow ("colder... colder..."). Female Human poked her head under the table again, and this time she saw my eyes glowing from the shadow.

    Female Human sighed again, and said, "And I suppose you're not going to come out, are you?" I meowed in agreement.

    The Female Human gave up. She's got an inflamed sacroiliac joint and there's no way she can crawl in after me. So like a well-
  • 14
    trained human, she pulled out her phone and rang the vet to tell them I was hiding and I won't come out. The vet laughed (they've

    met me before). Then they talked about some other stuff, before the Female Human said, "I bet she'll come

    out by herself in about 5 to 10 minutes now this appointment is cancelled".

    Seven minutes later, I strolled out, and sat at her feet and asked for pets because I am a clever cat.

    Female Human gave me pets, but she still thinks I am a cl... a. AITC?

    (Edited to fix silly mistakes because | was too keen to show off.) Update: Female Human tricked me. She grabbed me and

    took me to the vet this morning. Before breakfast! Before she had coffee and while she had morning hair! But I got a tuna

    loin for breakfast when we got home, so I guess it wasn't all bad.

    Moll... NTC, but see if next time you can convince her to bribe you out with treats.
