Rough stroking like this was one of the real pleasures of having a dog.

There’s a proverb that says a child is the glue that keeps a husband and wife together. A child who was never any trouble might keep things peaceful from day to day, but when push came to shove, that child would finally come unstuck. Maybe the kind of kid who needed more parental affection and made trouble would have been the glue that would have held their marriage together.

Humans are so easygoing. A cat’s behaviour is controlled by real-life factors, and for strays the weather can be a matter of life and death. Our success rate in hunting changes, too.

Distant relatives you hardly ever see are, to a child, like total strangers. Friends are much closer.
