My new neighbour, a Bangladeshi trader, has a cat. It’s a white one with pale blue eyes and it bears a slight resemblance to my missing (and badly missed) cat. I think they may have had the same sire.

Anyway, I heard “meow, meow, meow” from our balcony today. Upon investigating, I was alarmed to see the neighbour’s cat had somehow managed to scale the mango tree in our garden and had made it to our balcony. This was alarming because the balcony is where the bunny likes to spend the day.

The cat was sitting there less than two feet away from the bunny, staring at it. I’ve mentioned before the bunny is a bit of a badass but I was still taken aback to see her staring right back at the cat. Not taking any chances, I quickly grabbed the cat.

I was still hearing “meow, meow, meow” but it wasn’t coming from the cat; it was coming from my neighbour’s handphone next door. He had apparently recorded the cat meowing and was using the recording to call for it.

Anyway, I returned the cat to its owner and let him know as politely as I could it would be best for all concerned if the cat stayed away from our balcony.

I don’t want to end up having to explain to someone their cat had been killed by a widdle bunny wabbit.
