        Daft strategy. The sound of the first shot would send the cats darting off in opposite directions and you'd have no chance. Best to take out the cats first with one barrel each, then go for the wife.

          Must have either been a damn small cat or a bloody big seagull.

          On reading the actual story, however, we find that the seagull only managed to lift the cat by four feet before it had to let go. Hardly kidnapping it.

          I think probably the seagull mistook the cat for a rabbit or some other smaller, and lighter, and less-endowed with claws, creature.

          Seagulls are a bloody menace. Vermin.

          Seen one snatch half a crab sandwich out of Mrs. Bogey's hand a few summers ago while we were lunching al-fresco at Mousehole.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              The readers comments on this article are hugely amusing.

              I don't believe this story, it's got to be made up! Where is the level of excellent investigative journalism we expect from this fine organ of Whitstable?

              I once saw a seagull that was the size of a bus and it was flying round and round my head, singing "I'm Walking in the Air" in the style of Aled Jones.

              Eventually the seagull turned into a giant vampire that chased me into a deserted warehouse and I turned into Bodie from 'The Professionals' and jumped into my Ford Capri and ran it over then drove off, pouting toughly.*

              *There's a chance this may have been a dream, I get confused sometimes.
