“Adorable! A quick selfie, then I’ll fuss you.”

What a wonderful story! I love how she ‘blindly’ stumbles on unawares, haha!
Nice one. Original idea. (Although… I’d always suspected our neighbour’s moggie)
Very funny.
Had me laughing out loud this morning! Thanks for the great piece!
I googled catacles. You had me fooled, never mind the cat.
Ha! I love this! Very clever!
