Monty

This is our front door mat, but this is not our cat.  Monty, the previous owners' cat, paid us a visit today.  Not for the first time - but this time, as he was getting ready to spray our wall (again), Tim opened the front door to shoo him off, and he came trotting up, as if he expected to come in.  Tim wouldn't let him in, despite me being soppy and saying we should because it was raining.  Anyway, long story short, I got out of the shower a little later, and could hear Tim talking to someone - opened the bathroom door and saw Monty wandering around inspecting every room, with Tim following and chatting to him.  Lol.  Turns out Tim is as soppy as me and had let him in and dried him off, and then followed him on his self-guided tour of the house ;)  He also phoned Martin to let him know - it turned out they were away, hence Monty's unusual behaviour (trying to come in, two months after moving, and never having tried before).  Monty did go back out after a while, so we weren't too worried - but then Martin's daughter turned up to collect him.  He came running up to her, which made that part easy.  He wasn't quite so keen to go in the cat box though, and escaped back into our house again.  Cue Tim chasing him round the house again and catching him, and helping him into the cat box.  Fun morning!

After all that, I got packed up, had a quick early lunch, and then set off to my Mum's.  Arrived mid-afternoon and had a relaxed afternoon and evening with her.
