Bullpuss ignored the jibes and showed Squimps the funny little pictures on the face of the watch. "Tom Tom Cat explained what he knew. You just gently press a paw on a small picture. Do have a go Squimps."

Squimps leaned forward and pressed a paw carefully on the tiny screen. The device sprang into life and bleeped an electronic version of a cat squeak.

"Mow, mow, it's not that easy with a furry paw," said Squimps, "I wonder if it would be easier with a mouse attached?"

"It's full of cat apps, seemingly," said Bullpuss, "this one tells you where you are." He poked at an icon and a tiny voice said, "You are in the Ginger Nuts domain".

"That's us," said Mungojerrie, coming over to press an icon which showed a full plate of Pussypaws.

"Merwow, the Meal Scheduler," laughed Bullpuss, smacking his lips as the device intoned, "You have several meals scheduled for today. The next one is in two hours thirty three minutes time."

"Mow, goody," said Tabitha, "can you alter it, so the next meal appears in just thirty three minutes time?"

"You try one, Tigtoes," suggested Bullpuss.

Tigtoes chose an icon with a picture of a rat on it.

"That's the rodent detector," said Bullpuss. The device emitted some high pitched mouse like squeaks, before announcing, "There's a new mouse family in the hedge between Kaius's house and the Ginger Nuts domain and a large grand-daddy rat has just scurried from Tom Tom Cat's territory toward the Ginger Nuts summerhouse".

"Merwow, we're off!" shouted Mungo as he pushed Tabitha in the race to the cat flap.
