- In praise of… Casper the commuting cat
The French Renaissance philosopther Michel de Montaigne once observed that when he played with his cat, he could not tell whether she was not amusing herself more with him, than he with her. And little in the feline character appears to have changed since. The world, or at least fellow passengers on the no 3 bus in Plymouth, is today in mourning for a cat who showed similar independence of spirit. Casper the commuting cat is no more, mowed down by an unthinking car. Casper had been making day trips on the no 3 for about four years, queueing patiently at the bus stop for a ride into town and back again. Casper became such a regular passenger on the route that drivers doing the turnaround would make sure he stayed on for the return trip and locals helped him to get off at the right stop. Casper's 11-mile meanderings were modest compared to Kofi the cat, who vanished from his home in Nottingham only to turn up in Ipswich three and a half years later, or Sandi, who hopped on to the ferry in Portsmouth and ended up in Bilbao. Common to all these journeys is the comfort in which they were conducted. Casper curled up at the back of the bus (he preferred First to Citybus) and Sandi ended up with a cabin to himself, on a diet of chicken and salmon. Of course it could be said that cats who give the open road a wide berth are the ultimate survivors. Casper had a thing about HGVs, but otherwise little road sense. That could have been his undoing. But, all things considered, what a ride it was.PetsAnimalsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

Ibon Gogeascoechea and two other suspected Eta members taken into custody by French police in village of CahanThe suspected leader of the Basque separatist group Eta was arrested by police in north-western France today, the Spanish government has said.Ibon Gogeascoechea and two other suspected Eta members were taken into custody by French police in the village of Cahan following a surveillance operation on a cottage that had been rented using false identity papers, Spanish interior ministry officials said.Gogeascoechea, 54, is wanted for allegedly helping to place 12 explosive devices around the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, northern Spain, on the eve of the gallery's inauguration by the country's king in 1997.The plot was discovered before the bombs exploded, but Gogeascoechea's brother, Eneko, shot and killed a Basque regional policeman at the gallery.Gogeascoechea is the fifth suspected Eta leader to be arrested in Spain or France since November 2008.Eta, a nationalist and separatist organisation, has killed more than 825 people since launching a violent campaign aimed at carving out an independent Basque homeland in the 1960s.Spain, France, the EU and the US consider Eta to be a terrorist group.About 30 suspected Eta members have been arrested this year.
