It's always been an ambition of mine to bring up a puppy and a kitten together. I love to see cats and dogs getting on.Β

My younger black cat, Caspar, chased a fox into my flat the other day. I found the fox cowering with fright under my sofa. I managed to set him/her free.Β

The only way we know they are around is their scent ...One sleeps under our trailer some times...and also under our numerous sheds!!!The dogs are used to them and don't bother barking!!!They live outside in a large shed kennel so have got used to them!!!

They're such timid creatures too. As soon as they see a person, they run away quickly. It's odd that my cats don't seem to be afraid of them. A neighbour of mine once told me that she saw my female cat, Ziggy, sleeping on a garden shed roof with a fox. They were obviously friends. She tried to take a photo with her phone but the battery was low. Β

that's a shame it would have been a lovely thing to have!!!!The nearest I've got tobtaking a photo of a fox is it's footprints on some snow as it shot Β past our frontdoor!!!It was going so quickly!!!!

Yes, they do move quickly. I see them on the street outside sometimes and they're very quick and nimble.Β

Blacks cats are much better pets than are clovers!

I can voucher that. Four leaf clovers don't really do very much. You can't even take them for a walk!Β

in some countries black cats are considered lucky while four leaf clovers aren't
don't quote me on this

Yes, that's true. I was always brought up to believe that black cats were lucky. It wasn't until I met people from different backgrounds that I discovered they were considered unlucky by some. Animal rescue shelters have a difficult time finding homes for black cats. It's a shame, because black cats are great. (Though I'm probably being biased as I live with three of them). Β

Yeah it's really sad. I find black cats very mystical looking. Their dark fur and a blast of color from their eyes. it's just amazing

I currently can't have any cats at the moment but i hope to get a few in the futureΒ

Hes that guy in the snow globe and hes probably thinking he got lucky because
he has company now. Abigail, and the cat. So he wont be lonely anymore in the
globe. Oh my goodness I couldnt write a story if I tried.
Maybe a long lost brother for Abigail Β

When I read a children's novel, I nearly always have a peek at the illustrations first. They give you little clues as to what's going on. Β
