These has been a ginger cat hanging round the dock for a while now. I thought he liked Dixie but of course she was far too busy as First Mate to look at him twice. Anyway the other day I came back from working at the library and my pirate hat was sitting on the dock next to my ship The Heron. I paused and flipped it over with my foot, expecting that Dixie had trapped a rat under it, but there was nothing. Frowning I called to Dixie but got no answer, that was strange as well as Dixie always greets me when I return, usually to ask where supper is. I picked up my hat and started to walk up the plank to board The Heron when the ginger cat rushed off the ship and grabbed my hat off me as he passed. He ran down the dock with my hat in his mouth when Dixie appeared from nowhere and tackled the ginger cat to the ground, snatching my hat from him she ran back up to me, handing back my hat. We both stared at the ginger cat until he was well away from the dock.
It seems as if this strange cat was after my hat all along. I have to lock my hat away now when I am not wearing it. Dixie is out right now trying to find out where this cat is and who he is working for. We may have a new adventure facing the ginger cat and his master.
