I fear she might get startled or whatever and dash across. But she'll come round the beach with me and across the fields. I suspect as she's quite a bold cat as well as curious and companionable that she'd come as far as I wanted to go!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-83762513637491105042013-01-01T21:44:46.319+00:002013-01-01T21:44:46.319+00:00Hope the weather improved and you managed to get o...Hope the weather improved and you managed to get out for a walk too.
