I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
Diz had developed an attraction for an ornamental llama on my landlady's shelf.

Let me explain. They come from Peru, and have an open cabinet on which are displayed various knick knacks and souvenirs from their home country. There are two llamas - not precisely toys, but not statues as they are both covered in what I assume is real llama hair. One of them is short like a sheep, the other long and fluffy.

It's the fluffy one which has captivated Diz.

Got up this morning to find it outside my door.
And tonight there was a crach bang wallop from downstairs, and then an ominous bumping sound. Diz had fetched Senor Llama (in the process knocking a figurine on the floor, mercifully unbroken) and was bringing him upstairs.

On the one hand it is really funny. On the other, I will have to red-facedly ask her to move them to a higher shelf and explain why. They have been away for the last two days, but I know how determined the Diz-cat is.

I've already ordered him a Yeowww! catnip toy, so I hope when it arrives it distracts him enough not to notice where his new prey has gone.
