BLACK CAT

Not as in the Mackems! (Why ARE they known as the Black Cats anyway - red and white maybe, but where does the black bit come from?)
No the black cat I'm referring to is the one I've just spotted curled up enjoying the sun in the little arbor we've got in the back garden. It looked perfectly content there, until it noticed me looking out of the window and then it hightailed it out of the garden, by way of the picket fence (ouch!) and the barbeque, then over next doors rather high fence. Clearly it has used this escape route previously as it had no hesitation about where it was going.
It crossed my mind that if the puppies had seen this intruder on their patch, they would have had something to say about it!!!
