LOLA.jpg

Miaooow Keogh fans! And Hello Lola (who's pictured above after her ordeal in a wheelie bin).

Regarding this woman who flung her in the bin. Don't know what all the fuss is about: it didn't do Top Cat any harm.

He lived in a bin for years.

And even Officer Dibble hadn't got a problem with that. He didn't go round shouting, 'animal cruelty'.

I've clambered into many a recycling bin, but the point is, I had a choice...the choice being the chicken carcass at the bottom or the half-eaten salmon.

I wasn't given a helping hand by a member of the general public.

Obviously, the woman did wrong. The woman used the one for garden items.

A moggie's guide to the arts

Dick Whittington - what kind of a negative picture of we cats does that paint?
What moggie in its right mind would walk all the way to London with its owner. If it had any shred of reality, they'd say: "Turn again Dick Whittington - the cat lost interest less than a mile away from your home address."

Puss In Boots. I saw a puss in Boots once. The store manager cornered it by the perfume counter and threw it out. It didn't make riveting viewing.

The Owl and the Pussycat. Strange poem, again giving totally the wrong message to would-be cat owners. How many moggies have been mutilated after being stuffed in the same cage as an owl, thanks to that silly verse? How many have pegged it after being fed a diet of honey and money?

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Was the cat deliberately placed on a hot tin roof? If so, why weren't the RSPCA involved? Come to think of it, where's the cat, Tennessee Williams?

Hector's House. 70s kids show, that would have us believe a dog (Hector), cat (ZsaZsa) and frog (Kiki) can live happily together. It was created in France, which begs the question: why didn't anyone eat the frog?

The Cat in a Hat. What kind of a monster puts a cat in a hat and scarf? Dr Seuss may be a fine author, but he's got a lot to learn about keeping cats.
