The Cat Incident

So I think I may have traumatised my children for life..hhmm yes lets begin with what we had been doing last thursday ..

we had enjoyed a lovely day of baking.. we made carrot cake, 2 in fact , 1 for my friend Chantelle who had a baby and also for Nana and Poppa who had celebrated their 63rd wedding anniverssary the day before.. so we made a heart and a kugle... very exciting.. during the process Claire was putting away the eggs when she dropped the carton on the floor. so then we had o make some cookies and a sponge to use up all the eggs that were cracked but not broken.. otherwise i was going to have to toss them.. so more baking.. oohh dear...

after hours of this and getting a bit grumpy i decided to take the cakes to their respective owners and also visit Jjaki who had a baby just the week prior. so first was Jaki.. I had already packed a bag of pressies for the new baby girl.. I still don;t know what name they settled on.. oohh well.. so around i drove.. and this is where the cat capers occured. so they have a long drive and are the house at the back. I parked and cos i really wanted the crazy kids to not jump around too much and let me get some rest soon, I left them in the car with the door open so that could get some fresh air. I ran inside dropped off the cookies for the new big brother and pressies for the new baby and then dashed off back out to the car as I could here the noises inside.. so i would have been inside for like 2-3 mins.. thinking back i did see a black cat in the drive when i came down.. but i didn;t relaly think anything of it..

so I can outside to SCREAMING!! and TEARS streaming down faces.. I kinds of had a freak out.. and was thinking that they were so upset that I had left them in the car.. so I went to get in and console them when I nearly sat on a cat.. yes that cat was in the car.. and that was the cause of the screaming..

oohh my goodness I felt so so so bad.. oohh yes.. Claire was so hysterical that she could barely speak.. I asked if the cat had touched her and she said no.. so i guess that is okay.. but she did have a dream the other night and woke up all traumatised that the cat was in the car..

we have had a big discussion about how the cat thinks Claire is so ace and that is just wanted to be her friend ..every so often she says stuff like "cats like kids to play with"
