CATS AND BOBS

PETS OF LEWES

Olive, 12, classic tabby. Olive was six months old and

on her way to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home after

a marriage breakdown (not hers) when a chance

encounter brought her to Lewes. Olive has spent

most of her life with her best cat pal Phoenix who

sadly died last year. Olive now sleeps on the garden

grave of the departed.

Loves: kaleidoscopes, dressage, Beowulf

Hates: automatic writing, Jason Donovan, swivel

chairs

One of Olive’s owners has epilepsy and Olive often

appears when a seizure is impending. It’s believed that

this ability in cats and dogs has less to do with psychic

skills and more with detecting minute biochemical

scents which are released in advance of a fit. All far

too subtle to be picked up by us primitive humans.
