Pool house, Palug OTA
Like all cats Palug was fascinated by water. It was the dancing sparkle of it. He felt that he should really be able to pin it down with one big paw the way he occasionally did with a butterfly or a moth. But water wouldn't pin. Water was WET!

But he could't resist looking, either from the edge of the pool or the rafters above. Today he had been up on a lounger, happily watching the glint and the comming and hasty going of the tenants. But when he had had the place to himself and had gone to the edge for drink - it didn't taste very nice but it was too far down to the Mocha to blag some cream - the damned pool had come and got him.

He still couldn't believe it as he started his fourth, or was it fifth, circuit of the pool. Because every time he got close to the edge a wave would wash him back to the middle.

So - in the pool, one soaking wet, extremely angry tabby tom-cat, just beginning to get a little bit frightened.

All better now.

Palug stood up, stretched at the front, stretched at the back then shivered his fur back into order.

"Hmm, not bad," he said. "But what I really need now is some food - preferably fish, and then a good wash to get rid of his nasty smell and replace it with Eau de Hareng avec catspit."

He beamed at her, chirruped, and jumped down heading for the door - though he gave the edge of the pool a wide berth.

	Emma's laughter echoed round the poolhouse, "I get it, now you're hungry, oh alright then, I get the message!" She stood up, gathering the towel into a ball, and followed the cat to the door, "Early dinner after a bath huh? Don't think you're getting seconds, it's tuna tonight and I know you and tuna." Maybe an early dinner wasn't such a bad idea... (Reply to this) (Parent)
