The Grass Is Greener

This is a story about London…

Blue Eyes

This is Frankie the kitten on the day we took him home. He’s cute.

Keeping a pet in London is probably cruel. He lives with my parents now, in the countryside. I think he likes it there.

I like London. It’s great.

    Ha ha! That’s a lovely story and really brightened my day. Sadly I live in an apartment on the 4th floor. I definitely think keeping a cat indoors in cruel. They love to hunt. I always wanted to put a pet webcam on Frankie and see what he got up to. We once saw him saunter over the roof of a friend’s outbuilding several streets away and couldn’t believe he’d roamed that far, bless him.

    I’m a keen bird watcher, so I have mixed feelings about cats. My parents have a small garden and my dad works hard to make it environmentally friendly. We get loads of birds and frogs. There’s a cat that’s been showing up recently, mostly white with a black tail, which makes it distinctive, and I’ve had to chase it out of the garden for showing too much interest in the pond life and birds.

    Where my sister lives, some sick person has been mutilating cats and leaving their bodies out to be found, so my sister only lets her cat out under supervision. She doesn’t mind too much as she prefers a comfy sofa to exploring the neighbourhood. She is very territorial though which is difficult because there are a lot of cats in the area which pass through the garden.

    Lately I’ve got more into dogs. They’re hard work if you own one as they’re so dependent but I am lucky enough to work in a dog friendly office, so I make friends with all the dogs and find it therapeutic to play with them.
