Tinker was my cat. He was not a rescue cat but I rescued him from a farmer who intended to drown the whole unwanted litter. I don’t know what happened to the rest of them but Tinker came home to suburban life.
Terrified at first he settled in to a regular diet of lights lovingly cooked by my mother. Curled up by the fire he used his hunting skills less and less, but he could snarl and scratch with best if you tried to take his favourite spot.
Tinker put on weight, slept all afternoon and became a flabby tabby.

Well rescued! Wow! A diet of lights! He really was a pampered pussy. When working on the advertisements for Kitekat we got to know what were the tastiest bits... and lights were right up there. They didn’t appeal to me though, I much preferred dog food.

At the risk of showing my ignorance, what exactly are lights?

The lungs of game or livestock. Tinker loved them.

Ah, thanks. Never heard that expression before.
