More About Cats...

Maybe it is something to do with the weather...

It seems as though my two Monsignori are not the only kitties with relationship problems. Larry, the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office at Number 10 Downing Street, had a spat with his next-door neighbour, Freya, the First Moggy of the Treasury.

Police were called to break it up. No-one, other than the two protagonists, knows whether "Hiss. Spit. Snarl. Miaow" translates as "You don't run this government, you plebs" and Google Translate doesn't have "Cat" as an option (yet) which is possibly why there have been no calls for the resignation of either Larry or Freya.

Larry does have form. His first major photocall was marked (literally) by him scratching a reporter. He also doesn't seem to be particularly effective at his job. I have only heard of one dead mouse being presented to David Cameron during the whole of Larry's time in office. A simple glance at the sidebar tally (Kitty Kill Count) will demonstrate what really keen kitties can achieve. The Opposition appears to be woefully negligent in not calling for a full enquiry...

In other news, my Monsignori appear to have called a truce. They actually rubbed heads and noses yesterday, and Furretti licked Miaowrini's tail. At the time of writing, Miaowrini is curled up on the sofa and Furretti is sprawled out above the computer monitor. It won't last...
