Look at the picture. What is the cat doing? Why?

The cat is is trying to run away from the boy. It doesn\'t want to be placed into a pet bag.

Tapescript (Ex. 2A)

Host: We know that animals sometimes seem to have a sixth sense. In today\'s programme, two pel-owners tell us about strange experience with their pets. Judy Hart is from New York. Judy, tell us about your cat.

Judy: When the telephone rings I know when my husband is on the other end of the line because Possum, our silver tabby cat, rushes to the telephone and paws at the receiver. Many times he succeeds in taking it off the hook and makes appreciative miaows that are clearly audible to my husband at the other end. If someone else telephones, Possum takes no notice.

Host: That is remarkable. Now, let\'s hear from Sarah Jones from Lancaster. Sarah, you have a dog called Lucky, don’t you?

Sarah: Oh, yes... I adopted Lucky from a dogs’ home in 1989 when he was still a puppy. In 1991 when I was working as a secretary I left Lucky with my parents. They noticed the dog went to the French window almost every weekday about 4.30 pm, about the time I left work, and waited there until I arrived home. I worked routine office hours, so the family assumed Lucky’s behaviour reflected a kind of time sense.

I was made redundant in 1993 and was unemployed, no longer lied to a regular pattern of activity. My parents did not usually know when I would be coming home, but Lucky still knew when I was coming home.

Host: It sounds like telepathy to me! We\'d really be interested to hear from listeners who’ve had similar experiences. Remember you can call us on 0800909693 or e-mail us on...
