Almost fell off the side.

Almost.

Not quite.

‘Come on,’ he urged me. ‘You can do it. You’re a clumsy enough cat.’

Clumsy, eh? So things were getting nasty. I could have told him: not a thing gets smashed by me in this house unless I choose to smash it. Call us cats clever. Call us cunning. Call us caterwauling.

But never call us clumsy.

And then he really blew it. He changed tack.

‘Come on,’ he wheedled. ‘Smash it for me. Please. Sweet pussy. Sweet, sweet pussy.’

How dare he! What a nerve! Can you believe this man? Five years we’ve lived together, and he calls me ‘sweet’.

It is an insult.

I felt like scratching him, I really did. Instead, I took revenge. I made my eyes go huge, and sent my fur up on end. I did my Just-Seen-a-Ghost-in-the-Doorway’ act. (It’s very good.) And then, to put the icing on the cake, I shot backwards along the coffee table at about a hundred miles an hour until I’d knocked the pretty china dish he loves so much off at the other end, shattering it to pieces and spilling all the coins he keeps in there on to the floor.
