Once upon a time, there was a small mob of meerkats (and an adopted bunny) who lived on the sunny side of the dresser, living happily and harmoniously, minding their own meerkat business. There were big fuzzy things called "cats" that lived in the neighborhood, but they didn't seem to pay the meerkats any mind… or so it seemed.
One day, a pair of new sweat pants appeared next to the meerkat patch on the dresser. The cats decided the pants made a nice comfy bed and claimed it. The meerkats still lived peacefully with the cats right in their front yard for several weeks.
Then, it started.
Then, it started.
One night, Pipsqueek, the baby meerkat, was found on the big bed in front of the dresser. We thought, awww... somebody wanted a buddy to cuddle with.
A couple other nights, Pipsqueek ended up on the floor.
Then yet another time, Pipsqueek was all the way out of the room laying on the cold tile floor in the hallway!
We knew the perp is one of the big fuzzy things, but which one could it be???
Could it be the sweet-faced, old dame, Chirpy? Maybe. She came from the rough streets of Westminster many many years ago, but she never lost the taste for the "wild." She has sharp little hypodermic claws. And she's persistent.
Could it be the nervous, shifty-eyed, Q (aka Chicken)?? Perhaps. Being the only boy cat in the house, he makes his share of trouble, racing and stomping through the house in the middle of the night like a hellion (and as loud as a herd of elephants).
Could it be the youngest, skittish, round-faced big girl, Bagheera??? Could be. She's definitely a loose cannon, picking fights with brother Q all the time. Then she would plop down next to him (or right on him) and have a cuddle/licky session.
Which one could it be????
We set out a trap. The next time Pipsqueek was found on the tile floor again, he was left there as the bait. Ah-ha!!! Bagheera was caught red pawed!
Perp has been apprehended and placed into holding until justice could be served.
*****************************************************************************************************
Holy Toledo!! Bagheera has escaped! Now she's at large, causing more carnage and mayhem on a daily basis! Now Pipsqueek isn't the only one who gets messed around with. Her teenage brother Gomez has fallen victim too, along with a couple sacrificial mice.
The elders of the mob fought valiantly to save their babies, but their home was torn apart! Meerkats (and bunny) scattered everywhere!
The remaining meerkats huddled close together in fear while Bagheera lounges around pretending to be relaxed but ready to strike any second.
Pipsqueek and her brother Gomez were captured and taken to Bagheera's hide-outs, one of them being the holding cell!!! Shock horror!!!
For now, terror still reigns and the saga continues...
(No human hand had helped in placing any of the victims. We just document the crime scenes and put them back where they were supposed to be.)
