Cats in the Belfry
“Sugieh's craze for water had vanished after she had her family. She was too busy now, as she was always telling us between frantic toppings and tailings of four protesting kittens, ever to think of herself. So Charles had gone back to leaving the door open while he soaked so that he could hear the wireless, and apart, as he said, from momentary heart failure whenever he heard the posse thunder past like a herd of elephants on its way to the kitchen, bath-time was once more quiet, peaceful and r...efreshing.
Then, galloping out with the rest of the posse one day, the she-kitten stopped to wash her paw. Solomon had stepped on it, she said, and she didn't want it to be Dirty when she saw Sidney. Taking off after the others like a small blue comet – nobody ever walked in our house; just sometimes they whooshed faster than others – she missed the kitchen turning, shot through the bathroom door instead, and before anybody could stop her there was an almighty splash and she was in the water.MoreLess
