My cat needs to realise being a predator isn’t for him.

Bought in a mouse, it escaped, took refuge behind a cupboard.

After a few days stake out , he’s got the mouse, bought it into the living room.

Today I was stung by a weever fish, which ChatGPT tells me is “one of the worst pains you can get from a marine creature in UK waters.”

It’s only happened to one other person in the waters it happened in this year.

Might buy a lottery ticket.
