slowfoxI got accompanied by a kitten for a short while on my walk back from Castle Fox just now!
She was a very cute white/tabby, and came bounding up to me when she saw me walking along, and demonstrated that she could walk to heel better than Mali can.
Whilst, obviously, an office cat would have been a desirous outcome of this happy meeting, I suspected that teh kitteh's owners might've had a different view of her kidnapping.
So there then followed a protracted play 'n hide 'n chase game where I tried to entice the kitten back into the garden from whence she'd sprung (whether that was her true abode I know not). She was too large to stand in the palm of my hand, but was quite happy to sprawl out along my forearm, and was very purry.
In the end, we had a bit of an attack game with me wielding a twig which she was trying to kill dead, and when she was fully absorbed, I flicked the twig over the wall out of sight. She gamely bounded after it in hot pursuit, and I made my getaway, sight unseen.
I wouldn't be without a dog, these days, but I do like my cats.
