Oscar the cat...

[Noodley]

... disappeared just over a year ago....then with just a tiny mew Oscar jumped up on my lap and settled down as if nowt had happened.

I think the word of the cool kids is "sweet".

Oh male cat, was it 'done' ? They wander more than females. Only had female cats in my house, having been a dog person as a kid. Cats are easy maintenance, but we do like the older two in at night. They are 15. Young cats do go walkabouts, especially males. Our young cat appears at feeding time. She is heavy compared to the old two who have more access to food, as they don't wander. Suspect young cat gets food elsewhere...

Mystery solved.​

It turns out that some folk down the road take part in a scheme whereby caravanners can stop the night for free. A family from Paris took advantage on the way to the Pyrenees last year, left a door open, and didn't check the bunks before they left. They got to Cauterets before Oscar made his presence known. Not knowing where he had got on, they did the only sensible thing and kept him. Apparently he loved that caravan, he spent a fortnight in the Pyrenees, visited the Brittany coast and Normandy for weekends, had Xmas in Strasbourg, and went to Chamonix in February. Then as his servants were making their way to their usual holiday haunts, they stopped off at the same farm. Oscar slipped out of the door, crossed the road and made his way back to his old hunting grounds. His people where distraught and asked the household to keep an eye out for him. This afternoon Mme Syrphe spoke to the mistress of the house who asked her if she had seen any odd cats about and gave a description of a piebald tom. "Ah!" said Mme Syrphe "that sounds like our Oscar..."​

Cats do exist in a parallel universe..

I hope not, the vicious things are bad enough in this one as it is!

Our neighbours, in our previous house, had their cat go missing. It was only after around 9 months later that the cat turned up.

As it transpired it had been stolen by the house five doors down and was only able to make its escape after the thieving bastards turned out to be murdering bastards and were taken away by the police after someone got stabbed to death in their house one night.

Other than that it was a nice quiet and peaceful road. We were selling our house at the time, I am not sure that it helped to have it half pictured on the front page of the local rag with the for sale sign, while they were featuring the murder house.

That's exactly what I feel like doing to one when it scratches me in one fluid zen like movement from 50 feet away...

Great story.

There's a Children's book in there surely, perhaps a medium for teaching French. Oscar le Chat.
