The top o the wardrobe to ya!

Whenever something stressful happened in the house, like tidying up or vacuuming the carpet, the top of the wardrobe was always Smudge’s favourite hidy hole. It was never an easy place to get to - in our old flat she jumped from a dressing table, while in our current one she negotiated a complicated diagonal jump from a window sill (she’d yell at me to hold the curtains out of the way so she could negotiate the jump more easily). On top of the wardrobe sat her cat carrier, and she’d retreat into this wicker refuge until whatever it was that was upsetting her had gone away.

Now Billy and Bella have discovered the top of the wardrobe. But they haven’t learned the trick of getting up there yet…
