Cat chases bear into a tree

From the BBC and Grauniad, the latter doing its usual G2 filler journalism and concentrating on the well-known fierceness of cats and not on the possibly rather odder fear on the part of the bear.

this pint-size killer with its talon-like claws and needle-sharp teeth... this filler was brought to you by the Department of Unlimited Cliche, eh!

Bless the Grauniad, though - I've been giving them lots of love this week for writing about a) Hilary Mantel and b) (today) the Smiths for their In Praise Of... section in the leader column. Specially the Hilary Mantel choice.

I've never actually read any Hilary Mantel. I shall have to add her to the metaphorical pile.

There's a new bear story about - this week, a bear goes into a kichen and eats porridge. See the BBC for more details.

Clearly this is bear season.
