The Great Escape

Today I returned home to find all four cats waiting in the hall.




"Where have you been, human?" Sheba asked me with suspicion.

I looked at them incredulously. "On honeymoon," I said plainly. "You know, after I got married last week. Remember?"

"Ah, yes, now you mention it, I do recall," Smudge said after a while. "I can only apologise that we had to leave the country for such an occasion."

"You were in the cattery," I reminded him.

There was a long silence.

"... That's what I meant," Smudge said slowly.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Where have you been?" I asked shortly.

"Ignorance is bliss, human," Smudge said simply, as they sauntered away. And, for the sake of a restful afternoon, I decided to leave it at that.
