To ask where did the bird come from and where has it gone??

We came home from a nice (but damp) long weekend camping in Norfolk. Our cat was left as usual in the dining room/kitchen/utility room and both doors to the lounge were shut. My mum popped in to check on cat and didn't open any of the doors to the lounge.

We arrive home yesterday and there is lots of bird poo in the lounge. Mostly on the back of the sofa which is by the large window but some on other high surfaces.

No window was left open and both doors were shut when we got home. We cannot find the bird.

  1. How did the bird get in the room?
  2. Where the fuck is it now??

Probably should have mentioned there is also a snake in the room but Captain Noodles cannot get out of his tank.

I think the cat will find the bird if it’s still there if you watch carefully enough. The cat will be able to smell where it’s been.

Is your mum being truthful..... could there have been some open window / open lounge door/ bird / cat type accident, that she then cleared up and thought you wouldn't find out about? If the bird poo is down the back of the sofa and high surfaces only (ie not immediately visible places) maybe she thought she'd cleaned everything up. Odd not to tell you though

Your mum did open the door …

Has the cat eaten it ?

Definitely wasn't there when we left. There is a gas fire in the room but could it really have got down through that?

Up the chimney? Was going to suggest the cat ate it but just realised cat didn't have access to lounge.

The bird was already in the room before you left, you shut it in there.

It's dead down the back of a bookcase or biding it's time and waiting to attack.
