The 'noisy little **** from next door' has a smaller heart, and in any
case its feet are close together; it will be less affected than you.

Some bloke did do that, in order to electrocute next door's cat.
This came to light when the bloke was found on the lawn some days
layer, electrocuted. No harm came to the cat.

That's because a cat is the opposite of a horse.


I've some to suspect that they can sense it somehow. I'm in South London
where the trains are all third rail and, in nearly 50 years, I've never
seen an electrocuted cat beside the line. Not that I'd want to of
course, but I'm just surprised that it never seems to happen.

I've noticed that too, railway line in a slight cutting at the end of
the garden, but not our cats, nor the huge gang of local ferals were
ever to be seen at track level, dead or alive.

You're forgetting that a cat, or you, can quite happily jump onto the
third rail, walk along it, and hop off without being electrocuted.

That sounds like an interesting cat, what's its name?

Jerry sounds agile and joyful too.

I assure you I'm not.
