The Cat and the Fox

See other stories

Cat slips out of her house and sees a fox by a wheelie bin.

The fox is trashing an empty pizza box. He sees the cat:

"what are YOU looking at?"

"Do you know you're eating cardboard? asks the cat."

"Mind your own business..."


"So are you a vegan?"

"No idea what you're talking about....all food tastes of garbage"

"I keep my head down and lie low...."
"Everyone hates foxes...I'm a fox...you do the math..."


"If you could have any food in the world - what would you choose?"

"It all tastes rubbish."


"Then wait here"

The cat goes back inside the house and returns with a whole chunk of fish in her mouth.
She drops it at the feet of the fox -


"try this - tuna fish, fresh from my dish."
...rich in protein...
...and omega-3 fatty acids...
...It'll give you smooth, shiny fur."
