Pety's stream of thoughts

Yesterday at 10 pm on our lawn under the balcony:

"Oh, what a lovely night! ... Right - straight down to business: bugs and worms! I need some nice, big, fat, juicy bugs right now! I'm starving! ... OK, let's start here - mmmm, nice and juicy - just what I need! ... There, my first worm tonight! ... Hmm, I could do with some fruit now ... I know - I'll go to that little corner over there where that human being always puts some apples for me and MacGyver ... Mmm! Oh, yeah! What a lovely meal! ... Wait a second ... Someone's coming! ... Oh, no! It's a cat! And it's heading right towards me! ... ... Aaaaahhhh! I'm being attacked! Help! Help! ... What should I do?! What should I do?! I know - spines up!!! ... No, it's not working! ... Help! Mummy! Aaaaaahhhh! ... Oh, wait, someone else is here! ... Yes! It's the apple-person! ... Get that cat off me! Quickly! ... Yes! She's scaring the cat away! ... Yes! Saved at last! ... Hmm, should I thank the human specimen? I suppose so ... Well, thank you, human specimen! I'd love to stay around and chat but I have to go now! I have a date with my wife-to-be ... Bye! ..."

And away he went.

These were the thoughts of Pety the Hedgehog as recorded live when he was attacked by a cat yesterday evening under my balcony.
