whilst cycling into town one night I heard a horrendous yowl; looked behind me, and found that a
tom-cat, having seen off one rival, was now running behind my bike, still yowling! after *me*!
It was quite dark, and I am not too proud to say that this unnerved me to the extent that I sped up
quite rapidly and left the animal some distance behind, although it certainly chased me for a good 6
metres or so - it was only some seconds later I realised this was merely /felis silvestris catus/
and not some jungle creature!
I didn't think cats would bother chasing bikes (although mine has vaulted my bike before to get to
its food bowl, and it is normally rather lazy). Was this just a particularly belligerent specimen?
