Had the most stressful 45 mins earlier, Jesus.
Guess who found out he could leap from the bed to the Velux window in our loft conversion, with sufficient weight now to pull the window down slightly more, enough to get out onto the roof?
Guess who went missing, as I frantically searched the neighbourhood outside, shaking his food and fave squeaky toy ?
I spotted him on the roof from the other side of the terraces, hunkered down next to the chimney stack, with two Herring gulls swooping on him and a third on the chimney itself. I ran back upstairs and opened the Velux as wide as it would go, calling him. He was absolutely terrified, eyes wide open and meowing pitifully. I was totally convinced he was going to be taken by one of the gulls.
Managed to coax him down the roof slightly but still out of reach. I sat out of the window half way onto the roof, trying to get him to come over to me so I could grab him. He was swooped on by a second gull which I tried to shoo away, as he ran across far enough for me to grab him by the scruff of the neck and haul him over to me so I could throw him back down into the room through the window.
This little escapologist, that's who. Jesus Effing Christmas I need a drink....
