The bad news is Teddycat hasn't
come in since teatime to Thunderthighs's on a worry binge.
The good news is I discovered a small hedgehog by the back door when I went out
looking for him.
Which explains why Teddy's been
fascinated by the threshhold of the backdoor these past nights.

I hope Teddys home xxx
Mrs
Leftfoot It was on the radio a few days ago
about the huge number of hoglets still awake...

Get the small edgehog to the nearest rescue, it's
too late for them otherwise (we've had to do this as well)
1 December at 09:29 · TEDDY UPDATE
About 23.45 I go out and do more whistling and hear a plaintive mew.
I head towards it and there's more mewing.
Open our garage door: nothing.
Then realise it's coming from next door's
garage and he went out at about the same time Ernextdoor gets home.
Next door in darkness.
Is she in bed or out?
Either way rush into house and phone her
landline (answering machine) and mobile (voice mail). Thunderthighs calls down "I can hear next
door's garage door being opened."
Rush down and open
back door and there is Teddy blinking in the light.
Bellow thanks to Ernextdoor.
Usually Ted spends the evening dozing. So he'll have been curled up asleep whilst Thunderthighs
and I called him from 20.00 onwards (because neither of us heard anything) and
then woken up at suppertime wanting fed.
As to the hedgehog:
It had scarpered by the time I got back out with some catfood (which I left
down for it).
So I didn't get a chance to weigh it. The slugs are still coming
under the back door - which is probably why it was there - and there are lots
of windfall apples for it go at, some in places out of human reach but hedgehog
accessible. There are also lots of little dry spots for him/her to huddle away
in. Then there's next door and the gardens at the back. But we shall be putting
stuff out near the back door for it. And I will catch and weigh it if I see it
again.
