I flapped my arms to slow the driver down, but he too seemed preoccupied and the inevitable collision was only averted by some nifty footwork on Albert's part.
Our little corner of Trelawnyd may well be a little idyll for us, but for Albert there is danger at almost every turn. Not only is there a threat from ignorant van drivers but " The Bastard " still mooching around in the churchyard ( the " Bastard " is the local feral cat who tried to kick the shit out of Albert on a regular basis) but Benji ( the wire haired fox terrier from down the lane) is baying for some black cat blood to be spilt as soon as possible and I have no doubt that if he ever catches Albert in his garden than Albert would be killed as quickly as a fat man eating an eclair .
It's harder being a cat than you think
