Bush climbing

Originally published 16 August 2010

The start of a new story about cats clubbing trees. This strip, a sort of prelude to the story is actually based on Cholmondeley’s favourite sport, hedge climbing. There was nothing he loved more than to climb a hedge from the inside. He’d dive under the hedge, and then we’d watch the hedge rustle for a few minutes as he navigated his way up the dense thicket of foliage inside. Eventually a head would suddenly emerge from the top of the hedge. Cholmondeley had conquered the hedge.

Now, have you ever tried to retrieve a cat from the middle of a hedge? It’s actually harder than trying to get one out of a tree.
