Cats Like Me


Let’s be clear here: I’m the only one.  There are no other cats like me; no other cats the same as me.


Border guards across Europe all seem to have cats.  They would see to have a penchant for sharing their homes with striped cats, if my border crossing experience is anything to go by. First it was Folkestone, then the entry into Switzerland from France (there was no check from Switzerland into Italy), and later the blokes checking us onto the ferry at Brindisi…… They all check passports then lean in the window (where the driver would be in their cars) and go ‘soft’ over ‘the cat’.  That’s me.  I make border guards go soft and coo over the cat – and that’s why I’m the only one.
