The mystery of the muddy paw!

It's been rather a peculiar time of late, Miss Furry has been acting rather strangely. Well I know what you are going to say but really even strange for her! We have had the haughty re appearance after a long time of not at home. With no explanation of her where abouts. The only clue is a trail of one muddy paw print on the kitchen floor.

Every night I stand at the kitchen door calling out into the darkening night for Miss Furry. I know you may think well, where's the harm? A cat likes to wander on an evening. But Miss Furry is scared of the dark and likes to be curled on on her chair. All tucked up cosy.

I thought this is rather strange what is keeping Miss Furry from her home and more specifically her favorite chair. The one that no one else dare sit on. Honestly it's just not worth it for the stare, followed by the cross look and then the "well if your not going to move I am going to knock all your favorite ornaments off" manoeuvre.

Not only have we had the rather late in coming but also the exceptional muddy paw.  Not all of the paws you understand just the one at the front. It would be a fair assumption to say well, "Miss Furry's just been digging".

But you see Miss Furry doesn't do digging she hates getting dirty.  Not because of the feel of the dirt on her silky fur. Oh no,  purely because she can't stand the effort of having to clean it off. " I mean mum, what cat has time for all that cleaning nonsense not me mum that's for sure! "

 As patrolling your fence does take up rather a lot of your day does it not?


And there we have  it, the still as yet to be  solved mystery of the muddy paw... ( to be continued)
