Last night ...

... Ms Pingu met Mrs Possum. Accidentally, of course.
I was hanging out some washing in the wild hope it wouldn't rain today (so far so good), I mustn't have snibbed the back door shut properly.
It was still light, and Mrs Poss hasn't been coming down for dinner until quite late recently, so I wasn't expecting her.
I heard a snick, snick, turned around and there she was, climbing down the pergola post to the seat where her (empty) little dish sat.
I heard the tinkle of Ping's bell and whoosh, there she was on the pergola seat, on her back feet, sniffing noses with Mrs Poss.
Neither of them growled, hissed or scratched.
Ms Pingu was whisked away pronto, before the shock of the new wore off.
She's lonely, is my poor Ping.

Zoomie said...

What fun that they got along, at least briefly. Will you be getting a companion for Ping?

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Zoomie, we are trying, but it's not kitten season apparently. Fingers crossed, we may be able to get a kitten with the same mum as Pingu, maybe!

There's a kitten season? Is that like a 5 spice season? ;o)

Ms Brown Mouse said...
