Bid for Freedom!
OK, so we all knew it was going to happen, but when it did, it was a little bit of a shock.
The kittens have finally managed to clamber up onto the wall of the balcony and for sure will soon be jumping off and discovering the world at large, just like their mum. However the jump is a pretty big one, and I am not on the ground floor, so room for error is minimal!
So… inevitably 2 days after our first nailbiting moment as we witnessed tiny Tigger up on the balcony wall, I got woken up by some distressed kitten mewling coming from somewhere other than the balcony! Yes, there he was sat on our stairs somewhat shocked to find himself there. Mum was wandering around equally disturbed, but he is now just a little too big for her to carry him and jump back up at the same time. Hence the mewling… to bring in the human cavalry.
Thankfully in true cat-like fashion, he had landed on his feet, come to no harm and will no doubt be doing it again, but maybe in a little while, once he is a little stronger.

The really sad news is that Tigger has now disappeared. When I moved, he stayed with Dave, whilst Boo (the even tinier one) moved to the cliff-top with me. She has now grown into a beautiful 2 year old cat, and whilst completely nutty, is very very cute.
