Marlowe Extends His Range

[poliphilo]

We let the cat out of the house for the first time yesterday morning- and he tiptoed round the garage then disappeared into the kitchen garden- and we wondered if we'd ever see him again. I walked round the property a couple of times but there are any number of places a cat who is the colour of dead leaves could hide- and I knew that unless he chose to declare himself I was unlikely to spot him. Once a stray always a stray? Ah well....

Then at around four o'clock I looked up from the sink and saw him crouched on the window ledge, mewing to be let in.
