When we let them loose it’s in a cage in the garden so the wildlife that’s around is largely protected. I say the wildlife’s largely protected because even with these measures they’ve managed to take a couple of low flying birds out of the air when we haven’t been on the ball. As JK said, apex killers.

After losing Flash in March we've been debating whether to get another cat, we still have 2, an old boy, 15, and a crazy 5yr old girl. After some deliberation we all agreed we'd like another girl, and a young cat rather than a kitten. Somehow we have a pair of 3 month old boys reserved, just waiting on a call this morning to see when we can pick them up. Not quite sure how that happened!

It was a tissue she'd found outside...at some point she might turn her attention to small mammals but right now it's all insects and spiders (when it's not random detritus). Early this morning I heard Caspar getting very excited playing with something (he's not remotely vocal, so when I hear squeaks from him I know something's up). It looked black and vaguely bird-sized...switched the light on to see it was a ball of black yarn which I'd given to them as a toy.

Then someone's dead goldfish he'd dug up from their garden. And a bit of pork crackling he stole from someone's kitchen.
