The aunt (with kittens-see told you it sounds as if she has a disease!) just got off the phone telling us how about an hour ago she went to put brekkie down for Megan and children, when only tortie kit came darting over with her mama-now Bella/Maxwell (still can't bleedin tell!), so she searched the house and couldn't find her, got the husband up (was in bed as he was working late shift apparentlly.) and they looked and couldn't find her/him. Until they noticed the kitchen window was open...but surely a 6 n a half week old kitten couldn't...the thought! But, they thought wrong. Bella/Maxwell had gotten out! So at this point, apparentlly, they were laying bricks-literally! So they went out into their back garden..and had a looksie and couldn't see him/her, until they heard furious quacking coming from the half of the garden which is penned off for their Indian Runner ducks..and sure enough they looked in, and there was a rather tubby ginger n white kitten, all puffed up and hissing n spits!! Trying in vein to get a tuft of duck feathers-but couldn't pluck the courage up to go closer, it would seem. Needless to say Bella/Maxwell was displeased when the aunt took her/him back inside! I think its cause she's seen her ma do it..Megan goes and sits in with the ducks just to torment them
But sure gave all a fright-the way the aunt said on the phone though
, "I have bad news...we lost Maxwell/Bella"
She couldn't have said-we thought we lost Maxwell/Bella but he/she was only in the duck pen-nearly gave me an 'eart attack!
