Another resident of our village who stops and yaks with me now and again has been telling me about their neighbours and the cat.
Apparently the neighbour one side has bought a swing for their toddlers recently. Fine, and the kids love it but so does someone else. The cat from the neighbour the other side!
The animal will come along when the children are not around and jump up on the seat of the swing and wait. When they lady comes out of the house to hang the washing or something he will give a out a loud 'meeiiooww' and stroke the air with his paw.
At first she should could not understand the reason for this but then the penny dropped. He wants to be swung!! It's assumed he has seen the bairns using the thing and taken a fancy to it himself. So now for about 5 minutes on dry days when the lady has a coffee break she is employed 'swinging the cat'
