cycling and cats

Went for my usual evening 12-mile pootle around the lanes, me a *vision* in
fluorescent yellow long-sleeved cycling jersey with resplendent reflective bits
on it :-)

Obviously Waffles had informed the Mothership to tell the local felines of the
various villages and lanes that I require checking up on. Down one lane, a
little tortie lady meowed at me., So I stopped, said hello and was rewarded
with a headrub on my hand. Further on, at various stages of the ride, I was
being watched by a black & white cat, a *big* ginger tom with the most
magnificent whiskers and a quite stunning black cat with emerald green eyes.

Oh, and then a deer (red deer hind) ran across the road in front of me, less
than ten feet away.

Quite lovely.

Cheers, helen s

You have the loveliest times on a bicycle. ;-)

I do, don't I :-)

I have to admit, where I live is great cycling countryside - not too hilly -
undulations, yes, but no mountains! Plus, at this time of year, there is
wildlife in abundance. It's a rare thing *not* to see some wildlife, be it a
pheasant (usually see loads of these), rabbits, hares, deer... and then there's
the local feline population who make my cycling pleasant too. The only thing I
get wary of is if I pass someone out for a walk with their dog, and the dog
isn't on a leash. Fido bounding towards me makes me a bit wary, as I never know
if Fido is being friendly or ... not. It doesn't help if Fido is barking but
the owner says, "Oh, he's a great big softie, he just wants to play" when Fido
is running at you, barking loudly and bearing teeth. Thankfully that's a rare
occurance.

Cheers, helen s

As long as the only felines you see are the domestic variety. I hope you
don't run into any of the mountain lions that have been found wandering
the countryside!

Sounds beautiful.

Chances of that happening in Norfolk are vanishingly small, I'm pleased to say.
However, if I cycle to Banham Zoo, I can see ocelots, snow leopards and
cheetahs :-)

Sounds beautiful.

It was.
