'oh Murder'

He does indeed, but confronted with fish, with such a terrible accent I can't quite make out what he's saying...I think he might be polish....

All the best

I thought there was something fishy about Diddles

G'day Dave

Diddles (126 years old so far) is currently resident with me, the missus, eight other cats and a dog...he's currently living under an alias (Caspar) and shows signs (nasally at least) of being of Jewish extraction...He is of course the dominant party in our entire family setup...he has asked me to state that he hates dried food...

All the best

Dave

Will he talk for Sardines? Purrrrrrrrrr Meow

[Cogidubnus]

The oldest cat living on earth (not brazilian either!)

Oh and 12 other cats whose identities I have not been able to ascertain.

G'day David

Remember Diddles was born in Bethnal Green.
I'm not surprised he didn't come forward.

Are you sure you have the right Diddles, my research shows that there were three living in the vicinity of McCarthy's Rents.

Hi,

Of course it may not have been a cry at all. It could have been an exclamation.

[Natasha]

Many thanks for that, Nat.
I can tell you that every copy will be dispatched with 500g of dry food.
If you need more, it'll be no problem.
Some casebookers have even ordered dry food without the book.

Put me down for two bags, I think I've found some relatives of Diddles, they may have some new information

[DVV]

Can't wait to buy that

Hi,

I think the thing about the cry is that you have to consider pitch when trying to decide if people can pin point directions accurately.

A frightened cry, for instance, I would suggest, would be at a higher pitch that a cry of surprise.

The higher the pitch, the more relaible the identification.

Therfore, it could be possible that the pitch was low, and so was difficult to discern its origin.

Just a thought

Hi Hatchett

Pin pointing the direction of the cry: if Prater had a hearing problem, maybe a subtle loss of hearing in one ear, it would indeed be difficult to pin point the cry

Pitch: when you are wide awake, sober and in full use of your faculties you would perhaps scream louder.
When you are half asleep for example, you are are not in full capacity of your senses and can become paralysed with fear and therefore you would not be able to get the words out too loud, which would as you say produce a low pitched scream

[Natasha]

Because I want to keep all this material for my book, Nat.
It's called "Jack the Ripper. Cat solved."

Can't wait to buy that

[Natasha]

You may fear Fisherman's reaction, who for sure will challenge you to provide Diddles' birth certificate, census records, etc.

But don't worry. He's holydaying in North Korea all summer.

I was indeed worried about that, as I suspect Diddle's statement was destroyed due to some conspiracy cover up

My dear Natasha, I'm afraid I have to disagree.

Fleming wouldn't kill a cat with whom he had played coconut shy in Bethnal Green so many times.
Diddles knew that.

Now if you have guts, start a thread called "The feline Bethnal Green cover-up".

And expect many posts from my friends Cates and Carter.

Hi DVV

People & cats are expendable, its in the interest of the criminal to cut all ties with anything that may pose a threat. I like the idea of that thread, Why don't you start it
