Builders

So I've got the builders in, renovating my windows (which were apparently in better nick than I thought they were).

This means my front door is open for much of the day.

Which means Talisker-cat has to be locked away.

Monday and Tuesday were fine, since he was in the living room where he spends much of the time anyway. And he was able to hide under the sofa if he felt like it.

Yesterday (and today) was a touch more difficult, since they were working on all three rooms on the lower floor. Cat and I spent spent the day hiding in the spare bedroom, upstairs, but Talisker wasn't impressed by the restricted space.

We were in the living room when the buzzer went a few minutes ago, which meant Talisker dived under the sofa (which he always does when the buzzer goes, running from wherever he is into the living room and under the sofa). He wouldn't come out, and grabbing him much against his will, I took him struggling, with many scratches, upstairs.

Where he is currently hiding under the duvet, presumably sulking. Just a lump in the bed.

Duvet-day.

I left Talisker-cat hiding under the duvet and went into town for a meeting at about 9am.

I got back at 1.30pm and he was still under the duvet. He may have come out in between, but it didn't look like it.

He came out to say hello when I called him, at some food and used the litter tray. And then climbed back under the duvet.
