Merroowwww Aaaaahhhgggghhhhhhh

The photos I didn't take on Thursday were of our cat Ruby who had some small and tender part of her soft furry body squashed quite harshly as Merenia stepped back from the pantry cupboard with a pouch of cat food for the expectant and apparently starving puss. The noise that Will, Kieran and I heard emanating from the kitchen was a caterwaul I have never before heard from our darling fluffy girl and stopped us all still in our tracks. Merenia, not particularly quick to pick up what was going on received one very swift and sharp swipe to the back of her ankle. And then produced a very sharp and high pitched scream which blended seamlessly with Ruby's own piercing miaou. The swipe jolted the girl and freed the cat who despite her hunger departed the house at a speed that rendered her practically invisible as she flew by. The girl much slower whose scream had subsided to loud wailing sobs, came in for cuddles while her smaller brother looked quite bemused and apparently thinking..."What the?"
