Code Red

There's a cat asleep in the empty box from yesterday's organic fruit 'n' veg. delivery.

Okay, no problem there. A cat is generally to be found sleeping in said box.

But not that cat.

In an act of extreme, and potentially suicidal, provocation, Little is in the box.

Big has sniffed at her, but has, as yet, taken no action. His brain does look like it's cranking itself up to have a thought. Possibly a dangerous one.

Could do with a thunderstorm to distract them.

Emergency Services Stand down

I fed the two logger-headed creatures at 4.00 pm. Big had spent the afternoon sleeping aggressively on the dining table. Little, with the fiercest look on her face--real defiance in the face of the knowledge of what she was doing--had remained in the box. Both came and ate and then Little went to sit close to the open window and Big, his face going from pinched and worried looking to relaxed and Cheshire cattish, reclaimed his spot.

No fur flew.
