Stooopid effin\u2019 kitten!*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gaah!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kitten were supposed to be \u2018trying out\u2019 found a tiny hole I\u2019d made, in our bedroom floor (to pass computer\/tech-gubbins wires through) and went into it\u2026 entering the void between the downstairs ceiling and the upstairs floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he\u2019s been up there for a couple of days now. It\u2019s doing our heads in. Mine especially, I think. We can hear and see him, thanks to a much larger hole in the downstairs ceiling. We\u2019ve been trying to get him out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without flash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t reach him. So it\u2019s a case of tempting him out with food and drink. In this game of cat and mouse, where we\u2019re the cat, and he\u2019s the mouse? Well\u2026 he\u2019s winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*I don\u2019t like taking photos with flash. But without flash you can barely see the little bastard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitty-trap, ready to be sprung. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This whole ridiculous imbroglio is keeping me awake nights. I just missed the sneaky wee fecker. I heard him surface for a drink of water. But the instant I moved he bolted back down the hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019ve rigged a trapdoor arrangement, with a length of wool. And I\u2019ve moved the water a little further from the opening. If I hear him drinking again, I \u2018simply\u2019 (I wonder?) pull the string. And – hopefully? – he\u2019s then trapped back inside our bedroom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
