Wells, and described their one and only encounter. <br />As much as he admired the vast body of work that Wells had produced, he found the man less than sympathetic. They disliked one another on sight.<br />As the schoolmaster was taking his leave, a cat no doubt like Phoebe, ran into the study where the great man wrote his books, and after a series of hops and jumps, leaped on to the writer's shoulders.<br />The schoolmaster said he liked Wells for that one brief moment, as the world-famous novelist preened and petted his beloved house cat.<br /><br />Writers and cats could be a study in itself, Mark Twain to Colette and Capote and Paul Gallico.<br />Think of Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart, a hymn to his cat Jeoffrey.<br />Hemingway had many cats in the garden of his home in Cuba.<br />He killed a stray dog who killed one of his cats.<br />A clean shot through the head.<br />HaggertyHaggertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428937273804366081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023204082711630211.post-7087040907344384982021-07-31T14:00:40.294+01:002021-07-31T14:00:40.294+01:00Not boring at all.

Blackbirds are villainous and as for pigeons my recommendation is get a high safe place to sit and employ a stupid dog - they'll run at pigeons for hours. Save your energy for important stuff (like mice, which, by the way eat peas too.) My only other recommendation, one cat to another, is never let on you can type; insist on getting a secretary. They sometimes come complete with treats. Well done on your first post.
