...and the Cat in the Piano

Max the Cat has picked up some kind of subcutaneous Thing in the Great Outdoors — he’s needs an op Thursday to remove it, full anaesthetic, the works. He saw the basket in the hall, and vanished. No fool, Max. An hour to go and four people dropped everything to take the place apart, calling round the garden, checking the loft door. Just for the record, the best place in our house for feline hide and seek is... Inside the bottom of the Pianola. Best place before Thursday anyway...
