Tigger was chasing her tail, or was it something else. The running round the couch, Kitty Stevens could put up with, but the bouncing off the walls and the general hyperactivity was beginning to annoy.
"Tigger behave, or I will have no hesitation of putting you outside again."
Tigger stalled, as if, what she had been chasing had also stalled, before meowing and pouncing on FiFi, who screeched the wail of an Irish Banshee, and jumped into the air, narrowly missing one of Kitty's china cats.
"Right, that's it outside now," as Kitty tried to shoo Tigger out into the yard, she turned to see FiFi stretch and look at the couch as if in trance, keep your eye on the leprechaun. If you look away, just for a moment, he will vanish, paw the cushion, pick something up and then appear to toss it away, before curling back down, her tail wrapped round the body.
Tigger had started to run around the yard, and then she stopped and then it looked like something was chasing her, Kitty wondered if that new cat food had too many E's in it for a cat. Kitty watched as Tigger suddenly leaped into the air and shot through the hedge, Kitty knew she was off to see that Fed Gibbs.

Tigger approached Gibbs' house, stalking the imaginary, or was it. She stopped and listened, there were noises coming from the basement, keep your eye on the leprechaun. If you look away, just for a moment, he will vanish, now Tigger being Tigger had to find out, to follow.
Finding the under the decking was always easy, Gibbs did know about it but left for Tigger, only this time, it was going to be more than he bargained for.
Tigger looked about the basement, it was a mess, things lying discarded, no thrown about. Jam jars broken, Gibbs' tools scattered over the floor, and then she saw them….all of them. The cluricauns.
Now you must remember children, that although, the leprechaun is fond of drinking Poteen or moonshine as you call it over the pond, it must not be mistaken by their Irish cousins the cluricauns who are drunken creatures.
Tigger suddenly felt the fur on the back of her neck rise, and the tail being pulled, she started to run round in circles again, she caught sight of the little man, he had a string lasso and was trying to throw it round her neck, however the more she tried to escape the more the string caught her paws and her, and eventually she was strapped to a chair, she began to whimper.

"In the name of the wee man," Ducky shouted, which in Scotland translates as for goodness sake, as he saw the mess, "Jethro just look what Tigger has been up too. She has been trying to catch the leprechaun and his cousins, but looks like they caught her." as Gibbs now looked down at the mess in the basement, and one rather tied up cat.
"You know something Duks, if it wasn't for the fact I know what day it is today, and the fact that I believe, or Shannon and Kelly made me believe, I would say, Tigger did this." As he carefully cut the string from Tigger's body.
So children and parents next time you come home from work or play and you find the house a mess maybe you should blame the little people.
