At 3am this morning, I was woken by the sound of something trying to get out through our catflap. Thinking it was Bilbo fancying a late night stroll, and knowing he couldn't get out, I ignored it and tried to get back to sleep.
The sound became louder, and then more frenzied. With this, I got up and went to the stairs. I could see Baggins halfway down, and Bilbo at the bottom. It then hit me - if I could see Billy and Baggy, it was something else trying to get out! I ran down, and into the kitchen, hitting the lights as I went. I was confronted by the sight of Tilston, the cat from the farm next door, frantically trying to escape out of the catflap.
Upon seeing a dishevelled, hairy me, his efforts were given renewed vigour and he managed to rip the catflap completely off the door and make good his escape!! So there I was at 3am rebuilding the catflap onto the door. Bilbo just sat and watched everything.
The funniest bit was after I'd fixed everything, and was on my way to bed, I passed Baggins who was sat looking at where the intruder had been and let out a little growl. Better late than never eh?
Laura slept through everything. Good job Tilston Cat didn't have a knife.
