FINALLY I CAUGHT ITCHY around 10 last night after 48 hours awol. Threw an old teeshirt over her (she's so quick she was only half under that with a mini pair of eyes looking like they were about to pop out under the pressure) then I grabbed her and threw her in her old tank where she hobbled about in shock (panicked but not injured). Bashful and Spherical immediately took to licking her fur and saying in their own way "Itchy where on earth have you been?? What was it like out there..??" etc etc.Hurrah!!
Illustrated top left you'll see the famous picture "Itchy in a spoon". Where they got that measurement 0.75" from I'll never know because she is about 2" or 5cm in length...
I am happy to hear Itchy is home again, safe and sound! (I like Bird's custard too!)
ReplyDeleteHa! Glad you caught Itchy!

Yay!! WElcome back, itchy! Try and read my blog, gleds. It tells how George escaped today and the postman came and fetched me in his van because he'd cornerd him! He'd locked him in an old lady's garden And now you don't need to read my blog because I've told you!
