Secret Squirrel

I have several daft pets in my possession in the shape of one now very elderly cat called Chloe who despite her age rules the 'youngsters' with no prisoners being taken. A quick swipe with her ever ready paw puts most infringements of her dignity into place. She is known by Ta-shi as 'The sharp cat' on account of her slaps being incredibly sharp.

Ta-shi, whose name means good luck is a mad little Lhaso Apso, his aim in life is to have as much fun as possible and to eat as many peanuts that he can beg steal or borrow from BJ!

Saffy is a big clumsy lump of a cat, she is a Blue Tabby Maine Coone a large American breed. She is very beautiful with long hair and Lynx like ears and enormous furry paws. This cat is built for comfort not speed and has the grace of a small elephant! She has made her home on top of our now extremely high fridge/freezer where she sits like The Queen on her throne watching what goes on in her Kingdom below.

I was upstairs one morning when I heard a terrible commotion in the garden, frantic barking and the sound of shrubs being rampaged through. This was unusual to say the least as Ta-shi has been taught that it is very bad to manners to bark for no good reason.
I dashed down to see what the problem was.

To my utter surprise a Squirrel was frantically tearing around the fence perimeter with Saffy in a rather wobbly hot pursuit and Ta-shi hacking around below giving encouragement to Saffy to catch this daring intruder.

Squirrel eventually ran onto the fence next door between the garden where two very bad mannered German Shepherds live. Saffy paused to look if the Barky dogs were out.
Squirrel turned to face Saffy, this was one mad Squirrel it puffed itself up as big as he could and twitched his tail in his most threatening manner and chattered squirrel expletives at the puzzled Saffy. She eventually edged forward and Squirrel took off again he then came to a dead end with only the wall of the house in front of him. He paused and ran up the wall only to fall to the ground (unhurt) . I had ran back upstairs and frantically called to Saffy to try and stop her chasing the poor creature. She stopped in her tracks and looked to see were I was, this gave Squirrel a chance to make his escape. Phew!

Saffy then sat for a good hour on top of our fence all senses a quiver, ready to protect her territory if the strange intruder returned.
Ta-shi sat up on a garden Chair ears all of a twitch also waiting, probably hoping for another frantic game of chase.

The Squirrel I think has much more sense than to visit our garden again.
