So the house is now a warehouse full of boxes waiting for the move. A sly feral cat decided this would be an ideal time to drop her litter beneath the diwaniyah. Toots, Tiff and co have done their utty to alert us to their presence, but M has been disinclined to rid us of the creatures. That is until yesterday.

To stop the felines fritzing with the dog food and water M spread large amounts of Black pepper around the area and our stepped entrance. One of our Nepalese scoffsalot must have left the door ajar because a couple of hours later, M settled in to watch a soap and found herself sharing her intended relaxation with cat and kittens.

I told her to let Toots and Tiff out but she again refused, preferring instead a more humane approah; a beating with a beezleum broom. I am unsure whether said beating was adminstered to cats, Nepalese or a combination of both.
