Under Surveillance

You know that feeling when you are being watched?

I was just down in the kitchen putting the kittens away for the night when that creeping feeling that there was someone extra around came over me.

There was someone extra; an intruder was trying the door to see whether they could get in. When they found that the door was secured, they just stood there, watching. I stared back, neither of us saying a word. Then after a minute or two, I went to bang on the door and they fled into the night.

Are you alarmed? Do not worry. It was only a neighbourhood cat come round for their equivalent of reality tv: looking in through the catflap. The catflap is securely locked so they can't get in.

Since the kittens arrived, our back garden has been under fairly constant surveillance by assorted other felines. I'm not sure how to discourage this.

In other kitten-related news, Persephone has discovered how to flatten her ears and make all her fur stand on end, hence becoming Evil-Persephone. Esme, on the other hand, has not and is terrified of her evil sister. I will stalk them with a camera until I can provide evidence.
