When I announced #SpikySquares back in February, quite a few of us gulped at the thought of finding thirty-one spikes. However the thesaurus is coming to my rescue. Day one was barbed, day two I went jagged and today I have found something completely different in the archives!

The arrival of our uninvited visitor, can you spy Septimus?
Look carefully and you can spot Septimus being quite spiky!

The white/silver tabby had found his/her way in because two of our fence panels had broken, and we had not quite got round to fixing it. I was delighted to see him/her as I had never seen this feline before. But before I had a chance to say hello, it was making its way back to the gap. Septimus it seemed was less than impressed by our visitor.

The strange noise by the way in my video is Septimus; he has never really mastered the art of the miaow or even hissing. I am sure the stranger stayed longer because he/she had no idea what Septimus was communicating!

  4. That wagging tail is not a good sign on a cat. I love the way Septimus looks at you when the silver cat leaps over the fence as if to say “Was it something I said?”
    Brilliant example of spiky behaviour 🙂

    BTW You surely do not shout ‘Septimus’ when calling him do you?

    1. Not sure Septimus knows what his tail is! I love him to bits but he’s not the brightest fellow on the block. Sometimes I am not sure he even knows he’s a cat!

      and hee hee rarely have to call him as he tends to follow me round like a dog, but when I do I tend to drop the ‘mus’!!

      1. We once had a ginger cat ‘Hagar’ and he didn’t have a voice either. He would give this strange ‘erk’ noise when greeting us as if he was trying to clear his throat.

    1. hee hee . . . don’t worry I think this is the last thinking out of the box hint! I just thought a couple of crazy ideas might be helpful for when everyone has run out of spikes 🙂

    1. Everyone seemed so worried before we started about finding spikes, I thought a few ‘off the wall’ ones might help! However the number and variety of spikes being shared suggests it is proving not as difficult as first thought . . . I mean who would have expected dragons!!
