Re: help with cat talk to school


thankyou Yola - I knew you'd come up with some great ideas. I don't think 10 mins is that long though really.
I have done a few Guide Dog talks to same age children & I usually do a 30 min talk, then show my short Tilly Tom & Tiny meet a Guide dog DVD. That's easier because I take in a Guide Dog & show them a harness & let them "have a go" with a dog in a harness..... I think the cats are harder....
I think the message about neutering is good..
I did take a pregnant bitch into brownies once & get asked how did the pups actually get in there

I did a 10 minute interview on the radio for CP once and it seemed like an eternity. You're obviously a natural

Or give them the next letter of the alphabet to choose names for the next kittens?

Re: help with cat talk to school


I agree Yola - I did a radio interview for Guide Dogs recently - it was a few mins - felt like hours & I hated it... but 5 year old nippers, that's different.
