This Is Disturbing

Oh my goodness.

First of all a couple of weeks ago I spotted Flash looking intently at me over the fence without saying anything and now I've just spotted Foxy Lectar curled up on the sunshine shed, not that it's sunny anymore, staring at the house.

What on earth is going on? I think I need to put some feelers out, this is disturbing.

I Don't Like This Unexpected Development

What's Flash want, hiding away there in the shadows give me the dirties?

I don't like this unexpected development!

Protect Them I Will

I'm keeping watch. Watching out and protecting everyone. Flash tried to break in to the house yesterday I saw him trying to get in the door flap.

How audacious of him, I can't believe the cheek.

I chased him up the back garden but he didn't even run away very fast when caught, that's how rude he is. I have no idea what he wanted in there but there's no way that I'm letting him get anywhere near my family. Oh no as man of the house that's my job to protect them all and protect them I will!

He Was Very Sure Of Himself

I've been keeping my eyes very pealed today. Pealed so I can spot the moments of the audacious cat Magnus. 

There more I've thought about it the more I'm shocked at his behaviour. He wasn't trying to bully like Flash and Foxy did but he was very sure of himself. 

A little bit too much me thinks.

A Bit Of A Chin-Wag

Another day and more sun,I don't know what's going on with the weather at the moment but I'm not complaining it makes my adventures outside even more enjoyable than usual.

I'm not the only one River was loving sunbathing...

...she looked so happy I decided to pop over and have a bit of a chin-wag.

But I wasn't there long I heard a faint voice calling me.

Running towards where the sound was coming form I found Sofia hiding under Daddies car. I was so excited to see her it had been ages. I cautiously approached and nodded a hello, I think the smile on my face may have given more away than I was intending but I couldn't help myself.

I decided to pump up my confidence balloon and sat down next to her, cheekily I winked, she smiled back.

I asked her where she had been, she explained she'd been keeping a low profile, letting the dust properly settle since all the business last year with Flash, but since the sun was out and it had been months she thought she'd drop by to see how I was.

She didn't say it but I think she had missed me. We talked for about an hour before a drift of rain started to come down and we just sat and watched the sun fight it out with the grey clouds. After a while the rain stopped and Sofia turned to me and said she had better get off, it was nearing her dinner time and she had been promised chicken tonight.

We said goodbye, I nearly leaned in for a kiss but didn't want to face a knock back in case I'd misread the situation, we had been here after all before.

Looking t her walking off I felt happy but a little kicking myself for not at least offering a kiss on the cheek but my heart settled and I felt things were going to work out just right, there right in front of me in the direction Sofia was going a rainbow sent from the universe to let me know, whatever everything was going to be OK.

Secretly I Know She Loves It

I was sitting up on the table keeping an eye out for Flash, no more sightings luckily when I heard my daddies talking. They are going out later on tonight to see a show in London, it was a Christmas preset from nanny.

That means we're going to have a babysitter tonight, not that I need one it's more for River, and I know exactly who,nanny.

Now all I need to work out is what mischief I can cause, I do like to tease and secretly I know she loves it, it's a win-win situation and perfect weekend fun.

There I Was Minding My Own Business

There I was minding my own business trying to get comfortable on the table amongst the bric-a-brac forming when I spotted him.

As the end of the garden behind the fence screen Flash was walking along the wall. He saw me and didn't shout any threats like he has in the past but he did give me the filthiest of looks before carrying on his way over the back across the sunshine shed.

I do hope whatever it was that Mogsie did to warn him off hasn't worn off, the last thing I need it him starting his nonsense again.

I Just Wish I Knew What Was Going On

Still no sign of Mogsie. 

I've searched high and low, I even managed to track down Ginger Cat last night and he said he'd heard nothing from him, although he did say he'd heard on the grapevine that Flash had gone into hiding and I'm sure that must be to do with Mogsie. 

Oh I just wish I knew what was going on.

Maybe He's Done Just That!

I'm still keeping a very watchful eye out but it's been a few days since Flash has been around trying to break in so I'm relaxing my guard just a little.

Don't get me wrong when I say a little I mean I'm not in such an anxious state I am still keeping a very watchful eye out, going into the garden whenever River goes out there and watching out both the front and the back but it seems the immediate peril has subsided a bit.

I do hope that was the last of it, Mogsie said he was going to take care of it and maybe he's done just that!

The Bastard!

Up and down, down and up the stairs I've been all day.

It all started first thing, I was on the table having some breakfast when I spotted Flash in the garden. Brazen he was walking up with a confident swagger straight towards the backdoor.

My back went up as I froze on the spot ready to jump on him if he entered and it really looked like it would.

Boldly headbutting the backdoor flap which thankfully Daddy had locked both ways last night and forgotten to open it first thing.

Thank goodness River was still upstairs, the noise would have got her running to see what happened and even from this side of the door I wouldn't want her anywhere near that bad-un!

"My treasures!" He yelled through the flap. "I told you I wanted MY TREASURES! I'll be back later, you can't think you can get away with this!"

The bastard! Who does he think he is?

Of course I've been on high alert, double thank goodness it's pouring down, no way would River be let out and very unlikely he'll be coming by as it's so wet, I don't mind the rain at all but I'm the exception rather than the rule when it comes to cats.

No sign of Mogsie either, I've been keeping an eye out for him too.

That's What Friends Are For

I've been keeping a close eye out the front in case Craig returned but so far nothing then all of a sudden I heard a voice coming from my right.

"Hey David."

I looked down and there Mogsie finally had come by.

"I'm so glad to see you."

He smiled back. "I hear from Craig that you've all been having some trouble over here."

I nodded, relief that Mogsie was here.

"Listen I know it may not feel like it right now but this is all going to be sorted very soon. I've been in contact with Ginger Cat, he's helping me out with this one."

More waves of relief danced up my back.

"And I understand he's also helping you out as well."

"I thought he's forgotten." A rush of excitement rushed back down my back.

"Ginger Cat never forgets, he's been working on..." Mogsie paused to clear his throat and smiled "you're little recruitment drive."

"Thank the universe, Greego has been stuck asleep for so long and I can't break the spell all on my own."

"That's what friends are for." Mogsie grinned, "And never forget David you have a lot of those around here!"

Chaos Had To Follow

It was a fairly peaceful morning. I say was because of course chaos had to follow.

I've been keeping a bit of a low profile since Flash's threats the other day. I have been going out but been keeping very alert. 

As everyone had stopped for lunch I decided to keep a look out for Mogsie, I've still not seen him to ask for his help.

There I was when all of a sudden,

"David!"

I looked down and there was Craig on the front lawn, which really surprised me his usual domain is the back gardens.

"I've been wanting to catch you."

"Are you OK." I interrupted him,

"No, no we're not, that awful Flashy cat has been threatening us. He said unless we help him to get something from you he was going to run us all out of town."

"Oh no, that's terrible, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault." He darted his eyes left and right. "I can't be caught talking to you, we're all on high alert, of course we're not going to help him what on earth is it he wants?"

I was just about to answer when right behind me jumped River barking her head off. Craig of course ran off.

This is terrible Flash and his crew really need to be stopped. Oh Mogsie where are you?

A Manic Laugh Coming From His Mouth

Oh my goodness, I can hardly catch my breath.

I was just having a little meander through the garden when all of a sudden without any warning Flash jumped out on me. i had no idea he was there he must have crept in sometime earlier and was sitting waiting for someone to walk by.

"My treasures!" He hissed, "I've come for my treasures!" A manic laugh coming from his mouth, his smelly breath pungent in my face almost making my eyes water.

I spun and turned to face him, my breath already gone.

"Go away!" I shouted.

"No chance!" He laughed and took another step towards me. "You've had enough time, I want my treasures NOW!"

I took a swipe at him and hissed, my tail doubling in size before turning and flying through the luckily open cat flap.

River and both my daddies jumped up and ran towards the back door to see what had frightened me just in time to see Flash jumping over the fence. I thought all of that had died down, I guess not.

Oh where's Mogsie when you need him, Flash is surprisingly strong, I know now I need help.

A Pretty Normal Saturday Morning Apart From One Thing.

It's a beautiful morning which makes a change after the rather dreary weather that's been plaguing us this past week.

Everyone is pretty much asleep, Daddy is upstairs he's been working very hard recently, and River although she managed to drag herself downstairs is asleep on the chair while my other Daddy is pottering in the kitchen. A pretty normal Saturday morning then except for one thing.

I've just had a catty powers thought. I call it a catty powers one because it came out of no where, the catty instinct is kicking in.

I've been sitting in the sun just daydreaming when it came to me almost as if I was talking to myself. Why have I not noticed before that things are strange around here. I mean things seem to start to happen and then just suddenly stop for no reason.

Sofia and mean for one, I've not seen her for ages she just comes get my heart all a fluttering and then disappears again.

Flash and Foxy and their threats. Not that long ago I was on high alert for an attack and then nothing.

Theo. I've still not managed to tell him what happened when I met up with Purlean, he keeps on disappearing from radar.

Why?

That's what I keep asking myself now I've thought about it, why? These things seem connected in someway, hey even I seem to have almost forgotten that Greego The Pixie is still asleep upstairs and I have no idea why it keeps on slipping from the front of my mind.

Somehow these things seem connected, I just don't know how. I think I may go and try and find Ginger Cat he was going to help recruit a third Witches Familiar to join me and Theo in forming a new Coven of 3 to try and help Greego but even he seems to have dropped of the planet along with Doublay.

DOUBLAY! Oh my I'd forgotten about him as well, he's disappeared to.

Hang on the more I think about it the more I'm sure. I think Catworld is under some sort of spell.

Shaking With Anticipation

Things have returned to normal with River so my mind finds itself back on the current issue, Flash and his threats.

I've been trying to catch Mogsie but I've not seen him about, I need to fill him in on what happened in the garden the other day.

I must say River has been invaluable help in helping me keep an eye out. Anyone comes nears she nearly always barks and let's us know.

She's so intent on the job she's almost shaking with anticipation.

Sun Chill - Flash Do One!

Just enjoying the sun chill and today nothing and no one and I mean no one is going to spoil my good mood. 

Flash, do one!

Sixth Sense

Wishful thinking is a good thing but sometimes it can lead us down a path of fantasy, and that's where I think I became a bit relaxed and didn't expect what's just happened.

I was downstairs on the table amid the bric-a-brac eating my dentastix when an eerie feeling came over me. I don't know why but I guess that's the magic of being a cat our sixth sense is heightened above that of the usual person.

Looking out the window, the dew glistening on the grass reflecting diamonds of light into my eyes I was temporarily blinded but there out of the edge of my sight I defiantly saw something moving in the garden just past where the washing was hanging.

The fir on my back stood to attention, ears straining to catch the slightest unexpected sound the soft crunch of slightly frozen grass bending alerted me to an intruder.

I knew it wasn't River mucking around I can hear her upstairs snoring and Daddy was pottering about up there. Moving to get a better position out of the sunlights glare every fibre in my body froze as there creeping under the washing I saw him, Flash making his way slowly up the garden towards the backdoor.

I jumped down and moved as silently as I could towards the door, pausing just out of sight on the inside. A slight knock on the door flap, luckily it was locked and couldn't be moved. Another tap of a nose from the other side before a voice began to whisper through the gap,

"Period of mourning over, I know you are there listening little cat and I meant what I said, I WANT THE BURIED TREASURES!" Each word punctuated with venom.

A slight giggle followed, my heart pounding I moved from one foot to another to edge just a millimetre closer but still remaining out of sight.

"TOMORROW!" A final bang on the door flap and he was off.

I must go find Mogsie, this was to close to home for comfort.

A Very Strange Encounter

I've just had a very strange encounter with Chameleon.

I was sitting in the window, keeping an eye on River, I know Daddy built a walkway for her to get up here but I'm not confident that she won't get over excited and jump. 

Anyway as I said I was sitting up in the window when I spotted Chameleon walking across the road. It's been absolutely ages since I've seen him and after all that business with Flash and the threats I 'm very cautious.

He spotted me and paused for a second, just staring before giving a tiny head nod and walking on his way.

What was all that about?

Pssting At Me From Within The Foliage

"Psst!"

I quickly scanned the garden. Nothing

"PSST!"

It came again, this time my hearing hadn't quiet settled to resting to I was able to pin point the sound to somewhere in the direction of the Peace Garden.

"PSST, PSST, PSST, PSST, PSST!"

Quick as a dash my eyes spotted Sofia pssting at me from within the foliage.

I quickly ran over to her, smile on my face.

"I've missed you, where you been?" Before I could think caution the words were out my mouth. Sofia smiled back at me.

"Me to." She bent her head slightly to hide an independent smile. I smiled out and in, it was lovely to see her.

"Are you OK, I've been worried about you."

No filter this morning for me.

"Yes I'm fine, I just needed to keep a low profile for a while, till some of the heat died down."

I nodded, "Did you hear about George?"

Sofia nodded a sad look over her face. "Yes Mogsie came and told us. He was a nice fellow."

I nodded, "A really good friend to me."

"To all." Sofia chimed in we both nodded a silence joining the wind bristling in the trees.

Sofia broke the silence, "I'm sorry if you were worried but things were getting to out of control with Flash and all that."

"I know, it's been very quiet recently."

"A temporary truce I think Mogsie said, out of respect for George. Chameleon came and delivered the message to Mogsie and Mogsie came and told us."

"That would explain it." I wasn't sure what to say, I suddenly felt very self conscious.

"Doublay's decided he needs to get completely out of the district, did you know."

I shook my head, my lips not moving but inside frustrated, one of the potential new Coven of 3 now gone for sure. I know Ginger Cat was on the case and their were still Theo and me but we needed as many witches familiars as possible to come and help. I still didn't say anything.

"Come, follow me, let's have some fun, we've not done that for a while." Her smile warmed.

"Come on then, what do you have in mind?"

"Whatever comes along."

With that Sofia was off over the back wall, me quickly behind.

I'm Sure She'll Be In It - Her Reputation Proceeds Her

I've just had my chat with Ginger Cat.

I was enjoying the day on the sunshine shed, it's sunny but there's the odd cloud too so I wasn't getting too hot sitting in it when all of a sudden there he was sitting in front of me just staring and smiling.

We exchanged hello's and general chit-chat pleasantries and then he said what I was thinking all along. He had also been to the Time Consciousness and said he saw me there.

I was dumbstruck that he was so upfront about it and relieved at the same time, for so long I've been wanting to ask him if it was him I was there. Now I knew.

I also understand that you've been having a bit of trouble trying to re-form a new Coven of 3.

I nodded and told him how I'd been trying to persuade Theo and that although Doublay had agreed he was now in hiding since all the trouble with Foxy Lectar, Flash and the New Cat Crew.

"I might be able to help you there." He said. "I've contacts far and wide and it just so happens that I know one of them is a witches familiar."

My heart jumped, nervous and excited.

"Really!" I almost jumped to give him a hug.

"No problem." He smiled back. "It might take a little while,ss he lives a bit of a way away but I'm sure she'll be in it. She likes a good challenge."

"Thank you so much. I've been having real problems with this, my friend Greego he's been cursed with a sleep spell ofr over a year now."

"Oh yes I know Greego the Pixie, I think there's very few who haven't either met him or heard of him. His reputation proceeds him." 

He grinned a knowing smile, nodded and jumped down into the gardens at the back of our house. "I'll be in touch."He shouted as he sped away.
