Ellie has a brand new title. The Black Gap Bandit

Final weekend, Glogirly opened the door to our tiny triangular formed storage closet we’ve got in our master suite. Gloman retains all his tripods, digital camera circumstances, and stuff in there. She needed to seize a recognizing scope and tripod to look out the window at a brush fireplace that had began up in our canyon simply a few miles from our house. Firefighters have been already on the scene and dealing to maintain it contained. She and Gloman have been involved although and needed a better look. 

When nobody was wanting, Ellie slipped into the closet and began rifling round by the digital camera baggage. 

Whereas Gloman watched the fireplace, Glogirly did a fast cat test. (shaking a bag of treats all through the home to rapidly set up Waffles and Ellie’s whereabouts. Waffles was Johnny-on-the-spot however Ellie was nowhere to be discovered. 

The final place Glogirly had seen or heard Ellie was in that tiny closet. She began transferring all the pieces out of it, wanting inside digital camera baggage, calling her title…however nonetheless no Ellie. 

The again of this closet is reverse our fire in the lounge. And contained in the closet near the bottom and in the way in which again is a vent that leads from the surface, by the closet, into the wall and behind the fireside. When she received on her palms and knees, she found a small gap within the wall beneath that vent. The vent is spherical and the builders will need to have lower a sq. gap for it to suit by. And tiny Ellie made her means into the opening. 

A flashlight revealed a reasonably large house contained in the wall between the fireside and the closet. Most likely about 4′ x 6′. The flashlight additionally revealed you-know-who. However to Ellie this was only a enjoyable recreation. Glogirly and Gloman tried luring her out with all the pieces they may consider. Her favourite wand toy, treats, her plastic bottle cap fetch toy…she’d attain out to seize them, however would rapidly pull her paw again in and would not come out. Glogirly might attain her hand into the opening and pet her, but it surely was in such an ungainly place, there was no strategy to pull Ellie out. It was such a small gap too, Ellie will need to have squeezed her means into it.

In the meantime, again to the fireplace watch. 

Though a number of bushes have been nonetheless engulfed in flames, (very scary!) we might discovered the fireplace was efficiently contained and everybody and their properties have been secure, Kudos to our superb volunteer firefighters! Glogirly and Gloman continued attempting to coax Ellie out. Had any form of evacuation been crucial, Glogirly was prepared to chop a huge gap within the wall, leap in herself, and get Ellie out. 

Almost two hours handed and Ellie was clearly not going to budge from her hidey-hole. 

So Gloman took the vent aside and eliminated a bit of it to open up the opening. It had been blocking Ellie’s view of the surface world and presumably inflicting her to be scared to leap again out. With the vent piece out of the way in which, she might see all of us. Particularly Waffles. 

Waffles to the Rescue!

Waffles meowed and purred like loopy. It was like he was telling Ellie it was okay to return out. 

And so she did. The Black Gap Bandit was out. And her hidey-hole is now completely blocked.

ELLIE:  However I favored my new hidey-hole.
