Typical! Choppy - aka Miffcat, had her annual vaccinations yesterday, and ever since has insisted on giving a remarkably realistic imitation of a hearthrug in a catatonic state. The pedicure was the last straw, I think. She's been hiding away ever since getting home; last sighting being behind Mr M's music stand, where she is currently in meaningful communion with a crumpled plastic bag. Needless to say, I've been running around after her with tasty treats and generally behaving like a mother hen with her chicks. (Neurotic - moi?)
It's at this point that the postman delivers the annual letter from the cat shelter exorting our feline Greta Garbo to purr sweetly at her mummy and daddy in the hopes that they might feel moved to donate a little something to funds.
If the purring technique doesn't work you could always try other tricks for getting your own way (refusing to eat, ignoring the humans or rolling onto your back and pretending you want your tummy tickled - we all know what happens then).
Hah! That's all I can say. Oh well, I know I'll give in to her eventually. Where's that tin of tuna?
