That’s a sin but to be fair you’ve always been the leader of the gang. Where were you living at the time ? Did you have to go west to get to Wembley ?
The cat just came in the cat flap wailing like a banshee. She had a chick in her mouth which looked like a baby dunnock. Knowing we would rescue it given a chance she rushed back out. Turning back to look at us she opened her mouth to wail, and the chick flew away.
Lots of chicks around at the moment , I feed the pigeons , I like to feed the sparrows too It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
One of my old mum's cats brought in a whopping great big Koi Carp many years ago. Almost certainly from the neighbour's pond in his back garden. How we laughed - the bloke was an absolute stuck-up Cnut A kind of male Hyacinth Bucket
We’ve had red, red robins nesting in the newspaper slot in our post box for the last few weeks. I couldn’t leave the house without one of the parents appearing in front of me and demanding food (which was always provided). Last week I returned home in the car and before I’d got out, one of them landed on the bonnet and was looking in expectantly. You’ve got to love animals. Much more deserving than most humans (present company excepted of course).
A couple of years ago I got up in the middle of the night for a call of nature and trod on a goldfish the cat had caught in the next door's pond and left outside the bedroom.
Several years ago I was woken by screaming and wailing outside my window. Mixed with the usual fox noises was a cat screaming. I went out to find my neighbours elderly cat, who was bleeding, hiding under my car with about four foxes surrounding the car. I spent the next two hours chasing the foxes away and trying to protect the cat, who was too scared to let me grab him. I couldn’t get my phone or get to my neighbours so had to stay there until it got light and the foxes eventually gave up and disappeared. Cat still wouldn’t come out so I went back to bed but kept listening. The cat wasn’t seen for several days after that and me and the neighbour feared the worst, but eventually it turned up safe and well and apparently no worse for the ordeal.
