Scaredy-cats

Aunty W's house in Paxos is beautiful, inside and outside.

"This is so lovely" said Granny. (She always says nice things like that.)

"Rats think so too" moaned Baba, pointing to a big brown rat standing up like a meerkat. "And those blasted feral cats!"

The wild cats are always around, squeaking for food. Baba hates cats! No food from him. "It encourages them!"

Last night a cat stalked a rat, but slunk away, scared.

"Wimp!" called Baba. "Call yourself hungry? Why don't you eat those damn rats then?"

Granny says the rats probably give the cats a good thrashing!
