Chris Pascoe's Fun Tales: Oooh La La!

Chris ponders the danger of cats especially Parisian panthers

I've been reading all sorts of weird and wonderful co stories about cats recently, weird and wonderful stories about cats recently, something I suppose I'm always likely to do having been writing books about them and feeding them "professionally" for 20 years.

Cats are murderous little swines (appalling attitude for a cat-sitter) and were clearly no different in the 1800s.

One lad named Tiddles proved this by single-handedly wiping out an entire species. A very feline thing to aspire to, of course, and Tiddles achieved this terrible feat by accompanying his owner, a lighthouse keeper, to his new post on a remote island named Stephen's Rock in 1894.
