(21 Posts)
my heart is still pounding and i feel sick.

dh working away and dd's are fast asleep, i am sat lurking when the couch next to me starts making creaking noises, i think hmm but carry on. few seconds later it starts again so i give it a shake (?) hoping that would fix it, a bloody cat came shooting out from under it!!!!!

I DONT HAVE A CAT!!! bloody thing must have sneaked in this afternoon when i had left the door open to dry the floor, i have been in this room all night and it must have been there looking at me with its evil eyes, have put it back outside but i dont know when i will recover.

i am the worlds biggest wimp when dh is away and this will keep me up all night!

When we lived in Thailand we had a monitor lizard stroll into our flat. Me and DD hid in a bathroom and phoned the security guard.
Nasty big bugger did a few nasty big poos on the floor - although from what we heard through the door the security guard wasn't far behind in the shitting himself department.

My (late) cat terrorised our elderly neighbour by climbing in through the window and making noises upstairs then darting past her 'I just saw a white light zoom across the landing' she said 'I thought it was my Derek' (her late husband )

Sorry but that has to be comment of the week grin

We have a lovely local cat who often pops in for a visit, except one time at 1am he jumped through my bedroom window, mouse in mouth, and killed the thing in our hallway...well he killed it after chasing it round the house!!

Argh!

just as well you were not reading kerrymums halloween story at the time!!!
A couple of years ago I was horse riding in Montana, we'd stopped for lunch and I was sat leaning against a pine tree trunk. Felt something brush my cheek and went to swish it away thinking it was my hair in the breeze. No. It was a fecking gert big sticky legged pine beetle thing that just latched itself to me and took some shrieking and clawing at my face to get it off!!!! Still have nightmares now.

this thread has got me in stitches! grin cant say i have had that happen, but in the summer, my mum was stood by the open back door talking to me, when a mouse ran straight past her foot and into my house. cue seeing a mouse for a couple of weeks, until the time i saw it in the bathroom and sent my brother in after it with a plank of wood! he got the bugger. (can only assume it was a male, have not seen one since). didnt half give my mum a fright when it ran past her though grin

I was hanging out the washing today, chatting with my neighbour, went back into my empty house to make coffee, I was just standing in the kitchen and heard thumping and heavy breathing from the stairs, I just about had a heart attack until my neighbours dog appeared at the bottom of the stairs! The bugger must have sneaked in while we were chatting. Scared me half to death!

I can entirely sympathise

Some years ago we had been away overnight, came home late evening the next day, put DCs straight to bed, & shortly after went up ourselves - my then DP was in the bathroom, I went into our bedroom & sat on the bed. I then heard a noise coming quite clearly from under the bed shock

Managed not to pass out with fear, said to DP ( who was just coimng in from bathroom) in a loud whisper ' THERES SOMETHING UNDER THE BED'

He being brave or stupid - probably the latter, got down on his hands & knees, looked under & came face to face with a very surprised cat, which then hot-footed it out of our room - claws sliding on the laminate as it went, & down the stairs, before going to ground in the lounge. DP had to go downstairs, open the back doors & then wait til the bloody thing let itself out.

We did feel a bit bad though, when we worked out it had been stuck in our house since the previous morning (must have come in when we had the door open to pack the car up etc before going away)
