‘It was about mid-October. I was a front-seat passenger in a car driven by a friend on a country lane in Cornwall. We were climbing a hill on a bendy road. My attention was drawn to the side of the road where I saw a tiny silvery-grey cat. I’d guess it was a about four inches high. No sooner had I seen it than the car turned and I lost sight of it. Looking back I could not see it again. On returning to Oxford I told a friend about it. He told me that he was once in an antique shop in Oxford when a lady bought in a stuffed (real) dog of about the same size.’ ‘It seemed to be meowing or hissing. Its mouth was open.’
