Premier Silkenclaw BC Jack be Nimble - Owned by Tanja Siepel and Bred by Grant Leih

Pet Name: JJ	Colour: Silver Mackerel Tabby	DOB:

One early winter morning, my boyfriend went outside getting everything ready; switching on his engine and putting his bags into the car. He returned to the house leaving his car door open. Returning he saw JJ jolting out of the car; carrying something. Not sure what JJ had stolen, I was called outside. I saw JJ running through the garden, he had stolen the weather duster from my boyfriend’s car. How he maneuvered that stick out of the car is a puzzle, as it was underneath the seat in the back. JJ tried to get away from us. His first escape the window of the house, but the burglar bars didn’t allow him to get very far. Continuing to escape us he then ran away with his treat with a proud stride in his walk, head up high, like a proud man with a rose between his teeth. We couldn’t catch him; he was in seventh heaven with his catch of the day. We left him with his proud catch of the day and knew by the time we got home from work there would be nothing left of the feather duster. But to our surprise the whole weather duster was intact.
