MouseI woke to the sound of early birds and the thin light of an early dawn and wandered half asleep and barefoot into the kitchen to put the kettle on to boil. That is when the drama began. I have rather superior pet cat, or at least she thinks she is superior; she wouldn’t want to get her paws dirty - if you know what I mean.
