Thread: Monty's Great Escape - Part 2!

Oh gawd - seems that a garden Alcatraz might be the order of the day!

Following on from Monty's great adventure on the roof of the brick built shed the other day he'd been really good for ages (having been grounded for a while).

Until early this evening that is. Playing in the garden for a good few hours, good as gold, turn my back and up up and away on the shed roof again. This time unfortunately, no amount of Whiskas Temptations or rattling of the laser pen key chain was going to get him down. He kept getting within a certain distance, then wobbling so going straight back up to the ridge line again.

Then the bright spark decides the way to go is to jump off the roof, beyond an 8 foot fence into a garden that backs on to ours who keep chickens! Cue frantic panic in this house - we didn't even know how to find this house only that the garden backs on to ours.

Off we go, armed with treats, his favourite toy and the cat carrier driving round trying to work out which house it was. Luckily we eventually found it and then had the shame of knocking on their door asking if we could have our kitten back. By all accounts he was having a whale of a time watching the chickens wandering loose in their garden and was most put out at having to come home and have a really good brush to get all the roof moss out of his fur.

The heart rate has come down considerably now but they definitely won't be going out there again until I've blocked off some more of the garden - bloomin' cats - oh to have a common or garden moggie again who wanders and knows how to get out of scrapes - I swear Monty's so dumb he'd chase cars if he could!
