Please enjoy Pedal’s ten-step guide to playing hide and seek (on this occasion it was with his sister Ratchet, one sunny Saturday afternoon in The Cat’s garden).

Step 1 – find a really good hiding place…

Step 2 – tuck yourself in, out of sight…

Step 3 – wait for your sister to come along…

Step 4 – don’t make the mistake of letting her see your ear…

Step 5 – sisters can be quick, so keep your paws down…

Step 6 – hissing when your sister discovers you is plainly bad sport…

Step 7 – proclaim yourself the winner and emerge…

Step 8 – don’t rise to your sister’s taunts…

Step 9 – watch while your sister checks for any more concealed siblings…

Step 10 – relax with the family. Hide and seek can be very tiring…
