He turned on the light in the hall. But the noise followed Heard from the Kitchen. Frightened he picked up a nearby plastic pipe and gently stepped into the kitchen and He tapped the bulb.
When he looked around, he saw a large black cat lying on a vase basin with green eyes, a curly mustache and a salivating tongue.
Shocked, Jones chased the cat but, It just woke up with its open mouth.
