Fluff, who had taken over the position of Head Dust Bunny found his copy of the Bestiary which had been splashed with goo from the rampaging spiders. Everything was out of synch now with creatures growing or shrinking and inanimate objects taking on a life of their own. The book itself had grown in size but if he had some help he would still be able to search for information on how to defeat his enemies.
Squee couldn't hold on any longer.. Patrick Bump was pinging Squee's fingers off the ledge one by one. Unfortunately with the last couple of fingers Squee managed to hold onto Patrick and dragged him to his death... both of them landing on those comfy velvet cushions and vanishing into their depths.
As Penny couldn't cope with nursing the casualities it was decided to put a call out for extra staff. There were a few rats left and they crept through the one exit door not yet oiled.. the cat flap. They managed to creep past the couch but one extra sticky tassle hooked itself round the last rat and tugged and pulled and squeezed....

A Bestiary is an encyclopaedia of animals, both real and imaginary, which was used to provide moral teachings to medieval Christians. This image, and the accompanying story of the phoenix, in which it rises from the flames, was an allegory of the death and resurrection of Christ. In contrast, the story of the tiger and the knight was used to warn Christians about the dangerous tricks played by the devil. In the story the knight, who is easily outrun by the tigress, throws down a mirror in front of the animal who stops, thinking that the reflection is her own cub. - See more at: https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/bestiary-with-extracts-from-giraldus-cambrensis-on-irish-birds#sthash.vrjAcav1.dpuf

A bestiary, or bestiarum vocabulum, is a compendium of beasts. Originating in the Ancient world, bestiaries were made popular in the Middle Ages in illustrated volumes that described various animals, birds and even rocks.
