The couple next door have a dog . Tiny , completely round with a curly coat and silent , Cindy resembles nothing so much as a pom-pom on a lead . She and her owner ; a pleasant mild mannered man as silent as she is , stroll sedately round the park three times a day . A model of urban pet ownership .
But there's a new cat round the corner ... a gigantic ginger tom called , appropriately , Jumbo . He's already terrorised the man downstairs' three cats ( all called Charlie for some reason ) and they've taken to hiding under the hedge and peering out nervously before crossing the road .
As I came home yesterday , neighbour and Cindy , wagging her tail politely in greeting , were off on their constitutional . Imagine my surprise when I heard her suddenly give a miniscule snuffly squeak . Neighbour pulled her to heel briskly .
"Now , now Cindy . Don't bully the cat ! ". Jumbo , who could disembowel us all , turned , smirked and swept off .
The local vet might consider giving self-defence lessons , perhaps .

oh poor Cindy!
The smaller the dog, the fiercer.
If you’re small you just gotta come out of our corner ready to take on the biggest cats.
Bit like small people.
