Ours is exceptionally good. Take this: like many, we eat our main meal seated in our favourite armchairs with a cushion on our laps.
Come mealtimes, Black Cat is always curled up on one armchair, which is also HIS favourite. I hold up one of the mealtime cushions, say “Time now puss,” and 99% of the time up he gets, stretches, and pads off into the evening.
His only reward is to be called “Good Cat.”
I’ve always found black cats to be very sensitive.
If my dog was in any way dangerous, I would keep it under control. I would not let it roam about. It's the roaming about, killing things willy nilly, that I object to.
Don't be silly tilly, cats cannot be kept in, they are free spirits, and certainly would not kill a child. I assume you agree that the life of a child is more important than the life of a sparrow ?
