Hello, this is Sam squirrel to tell you another tale.
This time it is about Tina, one of the human Family cats.
She lived with the Family some time ago when they were living in a different house.
This house had a lovely unused patch of ground alongside the house.
It was full of shrubs and trees and Tina loved to go in there hunting and exploring.
One day, Mother human was looking for Tina as it was time for her dinner.
Usually Tina was around waiting for her meals so Mother thought it was a bit odd.Mother called and called but there was no sign of Tina.
Mother went to the edge of the garden to look for Tina in the wild patch.
She could just see Tina there and called again.To Mother's annoyance, Tina took no notice and in the end Mother had to go closer to see what was happening.
Tina had found this root and was rubbing her chin up and down on it. Her eyes were shut and she was completely wrapped up in the smell of the root.
Mother was amazed and had to grab hold of Tina and drag her away from the plant to get her to come for her dinner.
That evening, Mother was telling the Family what had happened.
After a lot of discussion, they decided that it must have been a root of 'Catmint', which cats really love.
See you again
