– I seem to be under siege at the moment.
– Really? I hadn't noticed. In what way exactly?
– There are wild animals trying to break into the house.
– They do that sometimes. It is their nature. You can't stand in the way of instinct.
– I've tried closing the cat flap. That seems to work.
– So, would I be right in assuming that these wild animals are, in fact, cats?
– Well, feral cats, for all I know. Or if not actually feral, certainly impolite. And bold: they try to creep in during the middle of the day, or even when it's obvious that there are folk about.
– Perhaps they are just inquisitive. Cats are naturally inquisitive. They will be company for you.
– My own cat is company enough: I don't really want all the neighbourhood cats as well.
– Do you think it may be something to do with the cat food you leave next to the cat flap?
– Well, possibly. But that's where the cat food lives. If I were to move it, my cat would get very confused.
– I'm sure she would cope. Cats are very resourceful. If nothing else, she could probably nip around to the neighbours' and steal their cats' food.
– It's like a vicious circle, isn't it? Where will it end?
