I'm in a house trying to round up two cats (Mango & Chutney -Tom & Lynnette's cats?). I'm trying to keep a cellar door open so I can chase the cats upstairs. One cat goes up the stairs on his own. The other is tearing up one corner of the cellar. I go down with a broomstick and try to chase it out. The cat comes out of the corner as a small monkey with a short, two-headed Chinese spear. I back the monkey up the stairs where Tom and others are sitting in the dining room. Tom, bemused, tells me to hold it at bay until he could come and help me (though he didn't look particularly busy).
