Katz Tales: Inkie is thwarted and the prized catch flies away

It was just before dawn, and I was on the phone to a dear friend in Cambodia, sorting out the problems of the world, when there was a frightened shriek. Recognising trouble, I ran upstairs to find Inkie with a mouth full of bird.

Seeing me, our tuxie boy's yellow eyes narrowed. I've taken a catch off him before, and this time, the glare signalled, he was not letting go.
