My poor heart!
We’d put a barrier up on the kitten pen so Lexi could come and go but the kittens were kept in safe while they’re still small. The last couple of days one or two have managed to climb over but only wanted to do it when one of us was sat by the pen. Today the biggest 4 climbed over so I thought I might as well take that barrier down and let them explore.
They were having great fun exploring the conservatory and settled down with Lexi for a feed at the bottom of the big cat tree. When I came back in later to put food down for them all I realised one of the kittens was missing. I looked everywhere! I pulled the desk out and had the room upside down. I convinced myself she must have escaped through my legs when I left the room an hour or so earlier, even though I’d been really careful. I’d had the back door open for a while and started to really worry that, as I couldn’t find her in the house, she must have got out somehow. I spent 2 hours looking for her, I think I looked everywhere at least 6 times. then phoned Graham in a panic. He asked if she could have got inside the settee. Doubt it I said, don’t think there’s a way in……….it’s a bed settee, and where the back joins the seat there’s a tiny gap. So I gingerly opened it and found her looking really comfortable nestled in the spare bedding without a care in the world!! Phew!
I dare say they’ll give me a few more scares over the coming weeks and then I get to do it all again with Fizz’s litter! She’s pinked up nicely and should be due around 12th August.
