Playful Dino

Dino's story

Hello! My name is Dino and this is my story. I began life as an unwanted kitten, discarded and left to roam the streets alone. I was spotted and taken to a police station before being transferred to a cat rescue centre. While there I was climbing some curtains to better evaluate whose residence I should grace next. I thought that Ladyshield sounded like a nice sort of place and chose to demand residency there. My wishes were granted and now I am top cat. I enjoy playing and getting into mischief. The biggest mischief I ever caused was the day the plumber came to work in the loft. It was winter and dark outside. I couldn’t resist climbing the ladders as I had always imagined the loft to be a mysterious enchanted place. The plumber was working on a big black tank and I only wanted to peek inside. When his back was turned I jumped in. I jumped out again even faster with a terrified shriek. Why would anyone keep water in such a place? When I landed on the floor there was a terrific flash and all the lights went out. I shot down the ladders and took refuge under the sofa, waiting patiently to be rescued. After the lights came back on I was wrapped in a fluffy towel, and all my friends made fun of me. You can see some of my friends in the Sunshine Cats series of cross-stitch kits from Ladyshield Stitchcrafts.
