							 Cats. One year I saw three people, all with cats on leads. Although it was pointed out to me that what I actually saw was one person and one cat, three times, and I can't rule that out. But even so............
 
 I'm fairly certain I saw a goat once, too. Also on a lead.  (I was going to say 'No kidding' but decided against it) You did. I remember it too, no ifs or butts
