Public Enemy Number One

We have had the first controversy in the inaugural feline Olympics and it happened to poor old Sebastian.

I told you he drew the 10 meter spraying event and all was going well as he was the only competitor so a gold medal looked assured, but we reckoned without the judges. It was Igor the Icelandic Iguana who was officiating and he is a stickler for the rules.

I was lucky enough to get down to track-side immediately after the incident and I got an exclusive interview with the judge and competitor just for you.

"So Sebastian, how do you feel right now?"

"Gutted after all the training to be excluded on a technicality. I would like to raise an objection but I truly can't be bothered."

"So what happened in your own words?"

"I can't use anybody else's words can I? Well I had just sprayed the seventh meter box and an excellent spray it was. I think it was worthy of a 10 for technical content and another 10 for performance. Anyway I had run out of spray so I popped into the house for a quick drink to refill the tanks, when the official came in and disqualified me"

"But it is OK to re-fill if you are running out of spray - the rules are clear on that you just can't take food on board during the event"

"I know but........"

"Hold on Sebastian. Igor the Icelandic Iguana is here and we can hear his account. So Igor why did you disqualify Sebastian when he was simply re-fuelling?"

"Rules are rules. If you take on food you are in breach of the rules and excluded. But I understood Sebastian was only drinking?"

"That would have been fine but when I entered the house he was nose deep in a bowl of chicken tikka. He even had the evidence smeared round his chops."

It was then that I noticed Sebastian feverishly trying to remove some caked on tikka from his chin.
