Moving on the pastures (and hunting grounds) new.

The street bids farewell to Brian the cat, and his owner, this week as they move house. The local bird population will certainly breath a huge sigh of relief as Brian loved his birds... so to speak! He's only around a year-and-a-half old and whilst he no longer has his tackle, it doesn't seem to have dampened his ardour for the feathered ones. Half the street has had an early wake-up call for the last month-or-so as the local Magpie population screech a dawn-chorus warning when ever he is about. I have even seen a magpie chase him down the street! Neko, our own dear moggie, will be none to upset to see the back of him. She is a fickle, nervous, timid little cat and the best of times and a big bouncing Brian running at her wanting to play just ends up with fur flying, fat tails and lots of meowing. We wish him well, but hopefully happier times are ahead for Neko and our feathered friends.
