I read that last year. As you say, very moving. He's just written a
book
about his childhood, which will be published in October, simply
called,
"Paw Tracks"

Did you read his first book, "Paw Tracks in the Snow"?

No, I am recovering from this one.

Hmm. This makes me apprehensive about reading it. Does it have abuse,
cruelty, or death that could have been prevented in it? I can deal
with
illnesses that are unavoidable, or death from old age. I'm intrigued
by this book but I don't want anything in my head that will haunt me
for years.

No there is no cruelty only a wonderful story about someone who loves
their
cats more than anything and they have a great home.

So it made you cry because it was so sweet?

Read it yourself.

We've been here before, haven't we? Let my try and parse
Boyfie's writing:

"So, meowmie, why are cat what friend girls named Mimi?" :-)

That's one very communicative cat you have!

Was it the veal, or the black pudding? Or the langoustine? Or was
it the fishing?

He very rarely gets on my keyboard, this is only the second time and only
when I am reading this group!

clever, you sussed out which programme...
... [it was] the fishing. I eat fish. I eat meat but not only
do
I not want to see it in it's death throws, I really don't want
to see it
treated cruelly in those last minutes such as how it was
handled by it's
gill and then the identity label attached through it's body and
it gasped
it's last breath.


Your judgement must have been a little clouded by the pictures.
An identity tag was fitted to the sea bass, *and then it was
released back into the sea*!

I was somewhat surprised at the handling method as well, because
I thought it would surely kill the fish - but apparently not!
The tag was fitted so that the fish could be traced, when it is
caught again.

I try to eat line-caught wild fish, rather than trawled or
farmed, if at all possible. Responsible fishermen will use
something called a priest to stun and kill a line-caught fish
that is destined for a plate, rather than allowing them to
suffocate.


I'm thinking of complaining to the BBC. Something I have never
done in my
life but maybe it's time I did. If it had been a mammal it
wouldn't have
been shown. Fish can feel pain too.

Sorry, Joyce, my reply seemed abrupt when I re-read it. I didn't mean it
that way.
What I meant to say was that it is probably difficult for me explain what
made me cry, there is no abuse in it, and if you read it yourself you will
most likely see what I mean.
I was very touched by it.

I figured that's what you meant, but thanks for explaining. It's in my
list of books to read.
