Cat mother got the text message from upstairs neighbour Adam on her way to the airport in Tenereif at around 17:30 on Day 10.
The message said briefly that Bongo had turned up on their balcony. Adam went down to the flat and called him from there. Bongo climbed in through the cat flap at which point Adam blocked the cat flap so he couldn't get out. Phew!

He stretched and writhed on the cat blankets and sang his way round the flat. He isn't allowed out at the moment and he's not best pleased with this. Grounded I think is the phrase cat mother used! Worse! He went for Molly and though cat mother loves him there is just no way any cat can attack her little girl so he's back in the cage.
Typically cat mother is out on a social and she let Bongo out for about 20 minutes before she left. Molly and I rushed to cuddle round him and offer friendship. He's unsure, I think, more of Molly than me.
Clearly a week is a long time in cat world. Cat mother can't believe she's got to get him acclimatised...again...
Anyway...he's back in the cage now. Not sure about the sleeping arrangements...let's c
