Ghillie Suit Gardening – Mango Joins The CrewMystery solved.The “fox cub” lurking in the long grass this morning was not a fox at all. It was Mango — a ginger and white cat with clear opinions and zero tolerance for nonsense.He emerged from under the swing like a site inspector who’d just been called to a disaster zone, then proceeded to walk gingerly through the demolition site that is currently my garden. He inspected the broken squirrel house (courtesy of Cyril’s latest temper tantrum) and the shattered bug hotel (also Cyril). The look on his face said it all:
“What the actual fuck is going on here?”
Cyril has now broken so many things that I’m starting to wonder if his wife and kids really are in a refuge somewhere miles away. The squirrel house is in pieces, the bug hotel is destroyed, and Mango is walking around like a health and safety officer who’s about to shut the whole operation down.We now officially have three cats on the books:- Panther (the original part-timer)
- Fat Ball (the bold house invader)
- Mango (the judgemental site inspector)
Mango’s VerdictMango, the latest recruit to the garden’s ever-growing feline division, has made his feelings perfectly clear.After a thorough inspection of the demolition site (formerly known as my garden), he strolled up the mown path, past the long grass full of foxes and badgers, and wiped his feet on the way out.Not a word was spoken, but the message was loud and clear:
“This place is a tip. Sort it out.”
Welcome to the crew, Mango. You fit right in with the rest of the judgemental bastards.
