It was a week before Christmas and thank god it was a sunny day

The bathroom in question is part of a three room mini apartment we had just renovated. It is on the ground floor of a two story house.

From where we live I just have to cross a small courtyard.

It was midday when my friend Wilma handed over the kitten . Father wanted his lunch so I decided to leave the kitten settle in on its own while I served lunch

I was nervous but I remember my father saying: stop worrying nothing can happen.

Famous last words.

I just felt uneasy and an hour later I crossed the courtyard to check on the tyke.

When I opened the door I got the shock of my life as I stepped into a pool of water. I quickly rushed to turn the shower faucet off.. I presumed the stray jumping up had accidentally pushed up the tap ( those that you swish up and around ).

The culprit was in her cot but I had no time to say anything.

I called my father and we took out what furniture we could table , chairs and then placed on both ends thick beams under the furniture we couldnt.

Using the mop was hopeless but my father had a brilliant idea..just a few kilometres from us is a firm that sells and rents carpet and floor cleaners .. we rented one and after nearly three hours I had sucked up all the water.
It took some time for the furniture we had lifted on beams to dry but eventual it did .

It took me 6 weeks to tame the beast.

At the start of February I moved her upstairs in a big room without furniture just a nice bed with a mattress I protected with thick plastic and on top I put two sun bed tops . She stayed with me until Easter in April and then Wilma found her a forever home.
