One of our dinosaurs is missing

I think I am unique amongst the local felines to have three dinosaurs living in my territory. The Chief Minion brought them here in my basket a few years ago, where she got them from I do not know. They have an orange house and a fenced area in which to roam during daylight. They are very strange creatures indeed, they scratch in the dirt and have wings but they do not fly. Most days they make a clucking sound and an misshapen orb appears from their rear end - the Chief Minion collects these with the utmost care, carrying the orbs as if prized possessions into the kitchen where she keeps them in the cold cupboard. I am perplexed by this behaviour; when I leave her the occasional treat from my rear end there is much tutting and it is hastily scooped into a bag and taken outside, a distasteful look on her face, never to be seen again.

The Chief Minion is anxious, one of the pterodactyl-esque creatures named Gloria is looking unwell. She returns to the house and reappears with my basket. PANIC! I'm not going to the V-E-T, no way, no more poking about in my nether regions, absolutely not. I skulk behind the hedgehog house and observe. Relieve washes over me, It appears the basket is not for me, the pterodactyl is kissed and gently placed inside. The other dinosaurs are squawking and the Chief Minion soothes them by stroking and scattering grain for them to peck. She leaves carrying the basket...

I hear the Chief Minion return. I greet her in the hall and she gives me a ruffle behind the ear placing the basket down near me. I look in the basket, it is empty. The Chief Minion is making herself a cup of tea, I hear a small sob. She is sad. She carries her tea and plops onto the sofa, I jump up and butt my head against hers, tears fall onto my whiskers, captured there shining, like small drops of dew. I push myself onto her lap, purring loudly and kneading that lovely soft jumper of hers. She strokes my back and becomes calmer, I'm pleased, a good job done.

It appears that Gloria has gone to the big Jurassic Park in the sky...
