the beast of girton

[woolymonkey]

I couldn't get Humbug to come in tonight so I went down the garden to see if he'd got stuck in a tree or been cornered by one of the farm cats. I found him crouched over a freshly killed pheasant.

He let me bring it, and him, in and was apparently happy to trade it for a pouch of Whiskas. Sunday lunch at the monkey house will be pheasant casserole.

Blimey! I was going to suggest putting a bell on his collar, but if you like pheasant...

He got a bell this morning. I hope the pheasants are too stupid to take the hint but I don't want him killing any more great tits. He got one last week :(
We told him the bell was a special medal worn by cats who have caught ostriches. He seemed to go for it, but I don't know how well it will last. He's very good at losing collars, even silent ones.
