The night progressed and we all tried to relax, although the wet footprints and Lolo’s strange behavior intrigued us. The Mystery of the Smells and Apparitions in Mas Torrencito
Lourdes continued to pamper her little Yorkshire, and the clients, although a little tense, tried to convince themselves that everything had a rational explanation.
Suddenly, Oliver got up from the sofa with a surprised expression and pointed to a small shadow that slipped between the legs of the dining room table.
— Wait… is that… a cat? he asked, blinking, while the small figure stopped short and watched us with bright eyes.
We turned to see what Oliver had pointed out, and there it was: a stray cat, with gray fur and a sly look, watching us with disdain from under the table. He was a thin and agile cat, who seemed to have found in Mas Torrencito the perfect place for a dinner… and a little entertainment.
The invading cat of Mas Torrencito
Mireia and I approached slowly, and the cat, upon discovering it, made a quick jump and hid behind the sofa. Lourdes exclaimed, with a nervous laugh:
– So this is the true culprit of all this night!
Isa, who was watching the scene with an amused smile, nodded.
– Of course, I’m sure this kitten has been going in and out of the house without us noticing. And Lolo… well, I’m sure he’s been following him.
Suddenly, everything started to make sense. The cat had been prowling the house since early, causing Lolo and the other dogs to chase him around every corner. The wet footprints we had seen on the ground were nothing more than the trail they had both left in their little game of «hide and seek».
Mireia laughed, now more relaxed, and turned towards me.
– So, all this was because of a cat that found its paradise in Mas Torrencito!
The stray cat was looking at us from its hiding place, probably feeling very proud to have pawed the quiet night of the house. Lolo, seeing that everyone was waiting for the cat, began to bark again, clearly upset for having lost the spotlight. Lourdes couldn’t help but laugh.
– Come on, Lolo! Did you also want to cause a «mysterious night»?
Release the tension
Oliver and Lucy, delighted with the outcome, began to take pictures of the cat and Lolo. Everyone started joking about the «legend of the ghost cat of Mas Torrencito» and the night brought back that warm and relaxed atmosphere.
To end the situation, the cat, with the same calm with which it had entered, came out of the hiding place and walked slowly towards the door, giving us one last defiant look, as if saying: «I’ll be back».
Seeing him leave, Isa joked:
—It seems that in the end, the cat only came to make sure that Mas Torrencito is of good quality. Even he approved it!
While laughter filled the room and Lolo finally settled into Lourdes’ lap, the fog outside began to clear. The cat disappeared into the darkness, and with it, the feeling of restlessness that had marked the night.
Peace Returned .
A la mañana siguiente, Mas Torrencito a peaceful dawn. The customers were laughingly commenting on the events of the previous night, and Mireia and I were finally able to relax. The tourists, Oliver and Lucy, took pictures of the farmhouse and promised to return for «more adventures».
Finally, Mas Torrencito recovered its usual tranquility… or at least until a new guest, human or animal, decided to bring a touch of chaos again.
From Mas Torrencito we wish you a HAPPY THURSDAY!!! and may your dogs accompany you!!!!
