Before rushing off for a special cat food collection at Continente’s new Parchal branch. Jenny explains “Zélia Santos’s our very own cat-woman’s great idea! She and Manuela Gonzaves are ready at the other end to load up.” In a network of ‘Animal World’, someone gets the food usually on a rota. “Happily APAA’s turn!” Great where to next? “Nine-half-kilo cat!” What? “Urinary infection needs vet care. Doesn’t do cats much good being overweight.” No. “Education, I guess.” Jenny is determined. “Fat cats don’t pounce. Just bounce. “Overweight dogs are just as common.” Oh? “It’s love transference from the owner to their pet. Makes them feel better.” Diet time ahead.
