L has a friend who claims his cat saved his life last week, after he woke to the sound of claws tearing strips off his bedroom door in the middle of the night. Upon opening the door and balking on the gas fumes that had filled the rest of the house, he grabbed the cat - and the dog - and all three escaped to safety. L asked in half-seriousness whether friend had rewarded the cat for its loyalty.
'Yeah' came the earnest, flat-vowelled reply. 'I chucked out all me Iams and cooked it salmon'.
