The Castle Cat

On Wednesday, I took Beatrice to Belfast Castle to enjoy "Storytelling".  Unfortunately, just like the pond dipping and the bug making and Mr Bloom comes to Bangor events of the same week....it was fully booked and we were not allowed over the threshold. 

Thankfully, not being allowed over the threshold of Belfast Castle is a much nicer experience than not being allowed over the threshold of Carrickfergus Castle due to the absence of both portcullis and murder hole.

We decided to try to find the castle cats instead.




We have never managed to find all nine before...

One was easy


Then two


Three was fairly easy too


Four had us stumped for a bit...


Five surprised us...we were on it before we knew it!


Six was sneaky...


Seven sneakier still...


When we found eight, we couldn't believe we'd missed him!


But that ninth cat proved elusive.

We almost gave up.

We even tried to convince ourselves that the lion heads on the chair arms could be it...


But then we got that pesky fella...


Sufferin' suffercats!
