Angelica’s return seemed to suck all the life out of the room. The cat’s screeches quietened to mewling, and they cowered in their cages as she approached and peered through the bars.

“Hello, Poppet,” she said, poking her fingers through the cage of a Scottish Fold.

If she’d tried that with me, she’d be missing some fingertips, but the stumpy-eared cat just hung its head in resignation.

Drawing back, Angelica reached into her shopping bags and heaved out big bags of supplies.

“You guys need a lot of maintenance,” she said. “Good thing I only have to do this for one more day. Then the magic really starts.”

Magic? What magic? I am a highly intelligent cat and thus capable of following dates and times. Tomorrow was Halloween. But what was so special about that day? Why would she no longer have the cats?

More investigation was needed.

Angelica got to work ripping open bags, changing litter and replenishing food and water bowls in each of the cages.

A refuse sack containing old litter stank to the heavens, and Angelica grimaced as she carried it outside to the wheelie bin.

While she was gone, I had a look around. The cats had struck up another round of howling, and their eyes followed me as I crossed the living room. A coffee table held a stack of forgotten papers that I recognised as the notes from Angelica’s research on Ancient Romans in Norfolk. They hadn’t been touched in a while.

Instead, on top was that old paper with the Egyptian hieroglyphics. And pages and pages of translated handwritten notes.

My head began to ache, and my eyes watered as I got close to the paper. The symbols seemed to swirl before my eyes, and I felt as if I was being drawn into it, sucked into a black hole from which there was no escape.

Angelica appeared just in time and snatched up the paper. She couldn’t see me, which was good, as I needed to have a lie down after that. A faint throbbing pounded behind my eyes.

“I shouldn’t really leave this papyrus out. Someone might steal it,” she muttered to herself. Or to her cats.

Ah, yes. Papyrus. That was the word for the old, ancient paper.

She retrieved a plastic food bag from the kitchen and wrapped the papyrus up. Then she moved over to one of the cages and stuffed the papyrus into the litter.

“There, no one will ever find it.”

She glanced at her watch and picked up her empty shopping bags.

“One last shopping run. Having to go to different stores is hard, but if I buy too much at once, people will start to get suspicious. And we can’t have that now, can we, kitties? Nobody can know before the Big Day. And then, when we have our queen back, everyone will bow to us!”

A cackle escaped her lips as she left the cottage and locked the door tightly behind her.

I always had thought she was a strange woman, but she seemed even weirder than before. Perhaps the energy from
