I'm going to a friend for new years eve. It's been a tradition for many years. Not a party per se, just a couple of her friends and a quiet celebration.
This year I have a catsitter. Last year, I had to bring my kitties to my friend. But because her daughter is allergic, the kitties were only allowed in the room where I slept.
So I had to go and check on them regularly during the evening.
And of course, in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep and I went to the loo, one of the kitties managed to escape the room when I returned from the loo. I had to chase her very quitely in the dark because people were asleep, in and out of every room with an open door. When I finally managed to catch her and went back to my room ------ the other kittie escaped when i opened the door!
So, as to avoid the same mistake again, I had to keep one kittie under one arm while I chased the other kittie in and out of every room, quietly in the dark....
And when I finally got hold of her, I almost couldn't lift her up because I only had one arm to use. Somehow I managed, and with my arms full of lively kitties, I went back to the room and closed the door very thoroughly!
Let's just say I'm very glad I got a catsitter this year.....
