The amazing story of Lady Penelope Montague (Monty) by Bob , Ace reporter for Cat network News. Part 3 Hamburgers

It was here that Monty began 17 days of adventure and freedom.

With her night vision goggles still working well Monty set off north according to her built-in Cat GPS unit.

There was something vaguely familiar about this whole area even the smell of hamburgers wafting from the local McDucks .

BUT WAIT with that smell Monty realised she was hungry and stopped in her tracks and headed in the opposite direction towards the smell of burnt hamburgers , somehow the smell was irresistible.

There was suddenly a huge rumbling noise and a click , clack , click , clack ,click , click , clack and Monty remembered that she was beside the big iron pathway to lots of places and which was very easy on the paws to walk on .

Then in a jiffy she was there, cat food heaven and there were plenty of suckers (sorry customers) in the outside eating area . Monty stashed her night vision goggles and other equipment and slipped through the metal swing door neatly and unsuspectingly twirled around a customers legs .........

The amazing story of Lady Penelope Montague (Monty) by Bob , Ace reporter for Cat Network News.

It was a dark night. Luckily Monty’s night vision goggles (made from toilet rolls, a pipe cleaner and a broken transistor radio) worked perfectly. She collected the clothing, food and map she had been hiding in the exercise yard and quickly slipped on her collar as a disguise.Monty crept forward, keeping low to the ground and moving only as the sound of passing vehicles and trains muffled the sound of her paws on the leaves. Then as she cut through the perimeter fence she was spotted by the eagle eyed prison guard (Hotel owner) who had come outside for a smoke . It became a race against time with Monty cutting and the owner running in slow motion shouting NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! Too late - Monty was through……………..

The amazing (and mostly true) story of Lady Penelope Montague (Monty) by Bob , Ace reporter for Cat Network News.

Hi Bob here I‘d like to share with you an amazing story of cat bravery and resourcefulness.

One day Montys people (names withheld to protect the innocent) decided they needed to travel for two weeks so after much soul searching they put Monty in a Cat hotel near where they used to live because they felt she would be more comfortable there as she had stayed before.

However Monty being highly resourceful decided it was high time to test the security of the Cat Hotel which had not been breached in 15 years.

The comings and goings of the Hotel owners was noted, security systems observed and then plans drawn up for a daring escape.

Under cover of darkness Monty armed only with a pair of wire cutters made in the hotel workshop from a cloths peg and a cat food can made her break for freedom. …to be continued

I have found this very cosy place in the garden where I am very hard to find even though I am in full view. We Ocicats have our very own camouflage !

Lizzy checks out the new swimming pool and its fishy inhabitants after a successful reverse emergency bucket transfer at the weekend.

Luckily Chris was unable to capture me on video taking a wet face-plant in the former temporary fish accommodation, OK so I thought the trough was empty and I just leapt in , an easy mistake. I'm a stunt cat sometimes things go wrong !!

Now all the construction is finished and the deck cleared the way is open for the great red spot catching challenge, we have been limbering on the lounge carpet during the add breaks on TV . I don't know where it comes from , there's just that "click".

Lizzy has developed this real thing for fish food. This is what happened when she tired to scoop it off the top of the temporary pond, whoops, not quite the firm footing she was expecting. All the foreign friends (just out of frame) fell over laughing.
