Humans and other animals

The humans have been away recently, and E & C spent a week in The Cattery. They are usually Not Impressed; the staff are good, but there are Other Cats Who Have to be Sworn at, which takes a lot of C's energy.

Then the humans were going to go away again , but Alex was ill & stayed home. He says he has 'viral bronchitis', but E & C think he is turning into a dog, because he keeps barking. They have learned to ignore the noise, and no longer jump every time he does it. However, they are keeping a close watch to see if his nose is wet and if he has any fur on his face...
