Motley escapes

We’d had Motley for about a month or two and she had free reign on our house.

I left for work early and left my bf at home asleep w/ her. At lunch time I got a call from him saying her couldn’t find her anywhere and that a plank of wood that covered the piping underneath our bathroom basin had fallen down (she’d actually pulled it off). I came home straight away and found the manhole to crawl under our units and search for her. The next day I went under again n still didn’t find her.

For five days we left a torch on at the hole and covered our suburb in ‘lost’ posters. On the sixth day we were watching tv and a very skinny, dirty Motley comes bounding up to us from the piping! We bolted up the hole and haven’t let her in the bathroom since.
