It was on a homeward leg of one of our commutes that we
stopped off at Cosmozoo. F tried to tow
Donkey into the shop discreetly, but there is nothing discreet about a bike
trailer shopping cart with a cat riding on top.
We made it to the catfood aisle and were discussing menus when we
realized the shop had come to a standstill.
I was mobbed. The staff all
crowded around. I was photographed, and
petted (of course – everyone does that), and there were loads of
questions. I leave all interviews to my
secretary.
That was the first of what had become a regular outing; a
Donkey ride to Cosmozoo to choose food and charm the staff. I am even allowed to taste-test the
biscuits.
Ordinarily, I’ve refused to eat cat biscuits (you can read
my earlier views on the cardboard varieties that got fed to the crows in our
Havant garden), but I have come around to a view that a meal is not properly
garnished or presented if not topped off with a sprinkling of something
crunchy, or has a little crunch on the side; just a little.
So we test them; well I test them. We get what I like. F doesn’t test them so she’s got no
idea. I could be choosing the cat
equivalent of Jelly Beans and turning down a healthy fruit salad for all she
knows.
