We decided to let Ginger and Heidi out to the playground under supervision this morning. But when it was time to go home, there was a bit of a problem… They decided the neighbour’s unoccupied (being renovated) house was more interesting because there are buckets, planks and lots of equipment to explore. Mr Zurik, safe…

I wonder if Daffodil read my mind…because this morning, she seemed to have relaxed a lot on her defiance. Of course she went out last night, as expected. But she came back on her own, had breakfast with everyone and would you believe it, she brought Ginger upstairs to the bedroom and both waited outside…

Watch this: https://youtu.be/SPioQRJfgEY (shared by Sumitra and Agnes) It’s quite hilarious, actually. This is good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8LHKHyFYWw (we sort of did this 6 years ago when we moved here with our 7 cats – Pole managed to escape and later, Indy made his classic Spider-Cat escape. Finally, we resorted to using polycarbonate sheets). Did I hear my name being…

It was raining very heavily just now and the dowager (by that, I mean Daffodil) was sitting under the neighbour’s car on the road, too proud to come back into our porch. I went out with a big umbrella to invite her back just as the rain started. She refused to even look at me. Just as she refused…

So we asked Daffodil how she does it and she showed us. We took a video of the whole thing and it’s uploaded here (please scroll).  Not sure if you can view it, though. However, here are a series of photos that describes her easy-as-pie-you-dumb-humans escape.  In fact, Daffodil says it is so easy, it’s kind…

I sat out in the porch, waiting patiently for Daffodil to come out from under the car but she refused. A friend who has vast experience with cats, especially elderly ones, told me that with senior felines (especially females AND calicos), they live life on THEIR terms, not ours. So true… They will come back…

I would have happily written about Stargate2, Part 2 this evening, but I am really feeling very dejected right now, because it has failed to keep Daffodil in. I don’t know how she escaped, but she did. Here’s the story…(it was rather funny at the beginning, but it is no longer funny now). Part 2…
