You see they both jump out of bed at night whenever they hear Percy's bell. Mum and Fanta are both getting a bit tired and ragged. We don't have him because he's not here, no-one can come near him, and mostly the only time anyone knows he is around is when they hear the bell from his collar during the night. We have him because he's registered to Mum, and we feed him, and he comes back to eat. Mr D said we both have and don't have a Percy. In Schrodinger's experiment you had a cat in a box that could be either dead or alive, but you didn't know unless you opened the box, so until you opened the box, Shcrodinger said the cat was both dead and alive. Mum and Mr D were talking about him today, and Mr D said he was like Schrodinger's cat. So, we still feed Percy, but he's not really living here, even though he should do. It was really something, but of course, when Mum went out to see what was wrong, he ran away. One night, Percy didn't find the food in exactly the same place and yowled like a banshee. She put food in a cat trap, and Percy showed he could take the food without springing the trap. So he eats out in front of our house each night. Mum's put out food to keep him from leaving the area. He's got more cat skills than I gave him credit for.)īut when I say Percy left, he didn't completely leave. (I really didn't think the furball had it in him.

Mum and Mr D and Miss C have all seen Percy, and chased him, but he was far too fast and no human could possibly catch him. (Mum was very embarrassed when the man from next door told her about that, apparently not eating the neighbours is now one of those rules she expects us to obey.) We know that Percy ate the goldfish out of next door's pond. We know that Percy is spending his days in a stormwater drain, in front of number 14. Mr D delivered leaflets asking for information about Percy to every house for a kilometre radius. In fact Percy hasn't come home and it's been over a week. You see, he and I both charged at Mum while she was trying to sneak out the door to check something for the fencing contractor (the one who is helping to make our yard cat-proof.) We took her by surprise and got away. After Percy ran away a while back, he came home safely that same night.
