It seems no time at all since I told you that no photographs exist of Mrs V, yet this morning a letter arrived in the signature lavender envelope favoured by Wilson's Big Sister Andrea – and guess what was inside?
As soon as Wilson spotted the envelope, fearing something might be amiss at the zoo, he ripped it open roughly with his claw.
Out fell a short note, written in lavender ink in Andrea's paw-writing… and a photograph!
It seems that the Zoo Vet thinks Mrs V may be suffering from Diogenes Syndrome – a thinking disorder characterised by a reluctance or refusal to throw anything away – and her bedroom is becoming a bit cluttered.
In order to tidy up and make some space, Andrea had been sorting through some of Mrs V's things and come across this old photo in a dressing-table drawer.
She thinks it was probably taken shortly after Mrs V arrived at the zoo, but when Andrea asked her about it she seemed vague and unwilling to talk about it.
Andrea was at pains to point out that this is a very common affliction, and was really nothing to worry about… but Wilson is a terrible worrier!
