Let’s do this together

The great escape artist and home-wrecking terrorist, Ronnie Bin Laden, has used up one of his nine lives in a spectacular fall from grace.

We opened our first floor windows over the weekend in the sadly too short warmer spell, which meant I found Ronnie tiptoeing precariously along my bedroom ledge a few times.

Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, I had to keep removing him from danger because he’s not very good at learning from his mistakes.

Our big cat Dan Dan did it just the once and discovered cats can’t easily go backwards, but Ronnie is a few kibbles short of a full box and kept trying his high-rise wire act.

To keep him from roaming the house, Ronnie sleeps with The Dark Lord, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the loo, then realised the kitten was missing from his furry donut bed next to her.

It’s only by some miracle that she actually heard Ronnie squeaking outside in the front garden after she realised he had dramatically plunged from her open window.

It must be a 18ft drop, but luckily his fall was broken by a big hydrangea bush and soft grass. She ran downstairs and let the noisy kitten in through the front door.

We don’t know how long he was out there, but the Lord of the Bins seems remarkably unscathed.

“I thought ragdolls were supposed to be lazy and happy to stay indoors,” I said to TDL. “Your one seems to have malfunctioned!”
