Tabitha and Minstrel remain unimpressed, however it has created a certain unity, they are closer than they used to be, probably their reaction to a common threat.
It is said that a group of cats is called a glare, well they certainly glare at Smudge.
Not that he notices much or cares. - Like Luby Loo, he comes out to play when Andy Pandy and Teddy aren't there, (age give away Link.)
The Settee monster crawls up the back of the settee and pounces on unsuspecting victims, we have had to put blocks on the floor behind the legs of the settee to stop the settee being pushed back against the wall and squashing him.
He has discovered Minstrel's stash of rolled up silver balls his current trophy is a Terry's Orange wrapper a particular favourite, Tunnocks Caramel wafer wrappers are also much favoured.
Minstrel is unimpressed as he doesn't just pat them he chews them to death and her stock of lovingly saved balls is diminishing.
Smudge is also very good at hiding only a nose can be seen.
Sometimes you need to get to floor level to see the aforesaid Settee monster in the dark undergrowth awaiting it's moment.
