Britons warned of plague of the 'supercats'

Hamish is armed and ready!

Oooh we do seem to have a lot of cat haters out there! This article was forwarded to me by my better half under the heading 'Hamish gets about'. To explain.... Hamish is a 21yr old grumpy domestic shorthair with no claim to pedigree or genetic tampering. He has a propensity for launching unprovoked attacks on whoever he so chooses usually with very little warning. the rest of the time, to quote the excellent Terry Pratchett 'Hes just a big softy really'

Guess it must have been a slow news day as someone pointed out, maybe the required quota didnt die of swine flu and something else had to be scandalised as someone said.

We welcome animals into our homes and those of us who are sensible know that, most of our beloved pets are a days starvation away from eyeballing us and considering what we would taste like! If you keep a pet it is your obligation to be a responsible owner. I warn my friends children about Hamish and they leave well alone.

I did like the comment about children under 5 not left alone with the pet for the pets safety, one of our other cats is regularly put through 'cuddles' and the dog has put up with everything from having his teeth brushed, piggy backs and playing nurse from friends children.

To all the cat haters commenting out there who have taken a scaremongering article about a specific breed to have a pop at the entire species Felis catus, I have only one thing to say........

Hamish would LOVE to meet you and he hasnt eaten yet!
