"So… last night we had two cats and believe it or not a rabbit shoved into the hut, looks like the cats know each other." Tank said as he stood watching Ton ice cupcakes.
"We need a Cat House" Ton told him calmly without looking up from his task "We are building a new town hall for the cinema to be included, turn the old hall into a Cat House."
"And the stuff in there?"
"Put it in one of the barns, I don't care. Build a shed… the town hall is huge and lots of cat toys and those climbing frames can fit. People can go and have fun with them … the cats can come and go tough the cat doors and we can all know the cats are ok. More will come once word gets around." Ton then looked at him "And the rabbits need a huge hutch too. The chickens and such can just go free."
"Why is this happening?" Angel asked.
"Christmas is coming. Soon, cuter ones will be coming up for gifts and the older, more boring or less happy ones are not wanted" Ton told her with sorrow "But we all need love."
"The Sugar Gliders cannot go in the hall to visit with us" she said to him with wide yes "The cats would eat them."
"Yes, Taddy said we have to be careful when they are out to have their little harness things on and keep them in our pockets right? That's why. A dog or a cat might think they are a mousie like Taddy sometimes does." Ton agreed.
"He makes that little noise and jumps" she giggled, miming a leap from her seat.
"He knows its them" Ton assured her "It's just a flinch like when old missus Brethum comes to kiss me with her moustache. I can't help but grimace before letting her. Not her fault, but … erg."
"Do I have a moustache?"
"No. You don't, but I would not mind if you grow one darling. I thought about it but I like shaving." Ton said seriously to her "Besides. Your lipstick would get all caught in the mow hair."
"Dead right" she agreed going back to garnishing the cupcakes and then pushing one at Tank.
Tank grinned and said nothing at all, this family so cute to be a part of as the two lovebirds told one another that they loved their life and each other, moustaches or not.
If only life could be so grand for everyone.
