One sunny day earlier this summer I was chatting with a neighbour in her front garden when we were disturbed by the sound of cats getting ready to fight. I walked along the road till I found the site of the battle. A large black and white cat was facing a small black cat and looked ready to establish that this was her territory. I have often seen the small black cat, but the larger cat was new to me, and it looked like she would win if she started a fight. So I intervened from a distance and the black cat was able to run for cover while the larger cat was distracted.
Now, when I see the small cat she stops and miaows and has taken to visiting our back garden. Today, while I was working in the kitchen I spotted her sitting patiently close to the large bay tree where there is plenty of cover for mice and birds. I think she was probably hoping to catch a meal, but her owners have placed a bell on her collar so I don't know how successful she is at hunting. She certainly doesn't look hungry.

Does she remind you of anyone? | |
