The Housekeeper has just leapt into action in the Dining Room. There was obviously a serious fight going on. She could hear loud, threatening growling noises coming from the corner of the room and so she assumed that maybe Amber had been cornered by a kitten whilst she was asleep under the clothes airer and had woken up, grumpy.

But no.

The Housekeeper found three of the cats in a semi circle, watching Dino in the corner of the room. His paws, mouth and little body all wrapped around his latest conquest in the "stolen object, now to be a cat toy" department. He was protecting it with every inch of his kitten might and was absolutely resolute that none of the others were going to play with it or steal it from him. The Housekeeper has never heard such a large growl from such a small kitten.

And what had Dino stolen?
