http://writestoworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/cat.htmlThis petition is for my neighbour to let the cat out.
The cat escaped out the window for a night, roamed around the area, met the other cats for the first time, then went home, never to be let out again. While free, he explored, mapped his territory. He got scared twice by the cat from 28a who was watching him carefully, but he endured the hisses. He treated the free cat as a fascinating threat, crossing that cat's garden perhaps ten times, and continuing around the block, meeting squirrels along the way, possibly for the first and last time.
This is serious - I'm going to submit the results to the cat's captors. It may work. Either way, the imprison-cats-for-life types are the majority on the web, and if nothing else, the majority has been reduced with this petition and
this post.
The petition is to let the cat come and go. Not on a leash or running tether. The area at the back of the neighbour's flat is away from traffic. This is London. We don't have racoons, sasquatch, the NRA or other things that many (not all!) Americans use to justify keeping cats as biological teddy bears. Comment accordingly or not at all.
