Forever.
I know the beast is still out there in the darkness...waiting...but I'm going to nurse a hot Lemsip one more day before venturing out again...
Several sightings of the beast have been made between Kew and Chiswick bridges, and along the Thames path at Strand on the Green. I think the cat is following me.
No more attacks but as I'm too chicken to run on its road (and believe me, he is King of his jungle) it's impossible to say if he still likes the taste of my ankles.
It's those fluffy tails. They put you at ease until the spitting, snarling beasts charge you from the nearest branch.
You think I'm kidding don't you - I had a mate that was hospitalised after being "set upon" by a gang of the buggers!
I dread the signs of spring as I know it will be the time of 'the birds'. I often get chased down the road by massive horrid seagulls who swooop and circle making the most awful noise. It's really quite frightening and I've had to change my running routes in the past to avoid them. The thing is it used to be just once a year when they were nesting now they seem to nest all year round!
Oh well I suppose it's back to wearing a cap (to protect my head, as last year someone a few streets away needed stitches from an attack!)and a stick to wave if they get to close.
Running along that road I did see a poster (handwritten) pinned to a tree:
CAT MISSING, black and white, wears a red collar, bites runners (ok, I made up the last bit)
...with a little photo attached.
I feel a bit guilty now, wondering if it might be the aggressive moggy that snapped at my ankles....but on the other hand I'm enjoying having the freedom of the streets once more.
UFO could have been electrocuted cat
Experts say a reported UFO sighting in Norway was probably an electrocuted cat.People in Lardal reported seeing a fire ball explode in the night sky and fall slowly down to earth.But investigators think they've solved the mystery after the charred body of a cat was found at the foot of an electrical mast.They believe the unlucky cat climbed up the mast and touched a live wire, reports Aftenposten.Lars Helge Sogn says what people saw was the cat exploding and falling off the mast.
