A little story... Some time ago I was making the rounds, visiting clients to get paid or to discuss new work. I forget exactly why but I had to go to a restaurant on the beach. It was mid-morning so the breakfast rush was over but it was high season so there were still a few people about.
This restaurant was home to a notorious cat. I had heard about this cat, she did not like dogs....
Ben followed me down the steps towards the office but a low leafed bush caught his eye and he ambled over to enjoy the feeling it gave him as, walking under it, the leaves brushed down his back. I watched for a moment as his bad back leg came up and began to tremble. A look of what I can only describe as ecstasy came across his face and he continued to walk slowly, right back leg trembling.
I turned to greet the person whom I'd come to visit and out the corner of my eye I saw Ben wander off. A few minutes later I heard a scream and the next thing Ben comes sprinting back into view with a cat stuck to his face, Alien style.
He's howling and shaking his head, still running at full speed. The cat has her front legs wrapped around his head and is chewing on one of his ears. My poor Ben has huge ears as you know, so the cat had plenty to chew on. He was out of sight in a flash, still screaming.
A few moments later the cat came strolling round the corner looking smug. Strangely enough Ben didn't walk down those steps again for some time. Have a nice day
