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.
