It's a Cat's Life

There are a lot of cats around these parts. I've no idea where most of them live, but they seem to spend their time making themselves free with everyone's gardens, ambling across the roads, sitting on walls and fences, and just generally hanging around doing not a lot.

They would do well to learn from the cat featured on the Mail's site today. 'Graham' sets out each morning for the local pet store, where he waits to be admitted at opening time, then spends his day checking out the fish, hamsters and cat toys. The pet store welcomes him with open arms, not least because he's having a positive effect on sales. He is, in effect, a member of the marketing department. I do hope they give him a Christmas bonus.
