Lovely stories eveyone.

I should add: I don't think Kit every caught the mouse (she was capable, but wouldn't eat them, just play with them). I  put her in to frighten them out. I had to wash things to remove the little presents left by the mouse rather than any feeding leftovers!

Airing cupboard: the cupboard with the hot water tank in, usually with shelves, where one stores bed and bathroom linen, and puts the clothes off the line to "air" for they are still a little damp.

I live in a new build house, and argued that what they call an airing cupboard is simily a tank cupboard, since it's built above the stairs and has no room in which to air anything!!

When I moved out of that house, I found that "someone" had nested on one of dining rooms chairs, which had been home to an old rucksac for some time. They'd chewed through the outer pocket to get to a muesli bar, and through the material on the chair to get more comfy! Funny the cat never spotted them....
