In a recent survey of 2,000 people, 33 percent said autumn was their favourite season of the year. When asked about the best aspects of autumn, some people mentioned drinking hot chocolate. But the most popular answer given by more than half of the people who took part in the survey was watching the leaves change colour. The next answer in order of popularity was feeling the chill in the air, which was mentioned by 45 percent of participants. The least popular answer was making homemade soup.

When I was at Redland School a lot of students brought their lunch to school in paper bags. My mother made delicious sandwiches and every day I looked forward to eating them. I used to arrive at school early because I wanted to play with my friends in the playground. But before doing that, I always put my books and lunch bag in the school corridor outside my classroom. I usually ate the sandwiches during breaks between lessons. One day, when I got back from the playground my lunch was missing. The same thing happened the next day and the next. I asked everyone – but no one admitted to taking my lunch. So after a few days I asked my mum if I could make my own sandwiches. She probably thought I wanted to show her how independent I was. But the real reason was, of course, totally different. Instead of using a regular filling, I put dog food into my sandwiches. I couldn't wait to see the thief's reaction after taking the first bite! When I got to school, I left the bag of sandwiches outside my classroom as usual, but instead of going to play, I stood on the second-floor balcony to wait for the thief. And sure enough, he showed up! The sandwich thief turned out to be the head teacher's dog!

Journalist: Sarah, how did you get interested in cats?

Sarah: It all began when I got my first cat, Charlie, for my 7th birthday. I spent a lot of time with him because I had no brother or sister to play with. I noticed that Charlie was very motivated by food, so I used that to encourage him to do things like jumping over different objects. When he did the jump correctly, I gave him some food as a reward. And then I showed the tricks to my parents and friends.

Journalist: And in your professional life you're still involved with cats, aren't you?

Sarah: That's right. As a cat therapist, I see lots of cats every day and the stressful situations they face, like going to the vet or being kept in cages at rescue centres. My job is to teach cats the key skills they need to get on well with people. But I'm always very careful not to do anything that goes against what a cat is like by nature.

Journalist: And the last question is – have you ever trained a dog?

Sarah: No, not really. I don't work with dogs but I know that dogs can read the clues we give them perfectly. Cats are not so good at that. If you stand in front of a cat, they think "why on earth are you standing in my way?!" and then walk off. When dogs get our attention, they feel that is a good reward for them, but cats don't. They prefer food.
