That's certainly a very likely scenario. It might have caught
its tail in something, for example.

Definitely not. It was an immaculate mouse/rat type tail. No
hint of
scarring.

There are Coypus running wild in Britain.

Coypu are large rodents, with tails 12 to 18 inches long. The
size of
a medium dog.

Well, we've had just about everything else in the mix.... ;-)

Not yet, we haven't had a miniature pygmy elephant,
Thin tail, round face and grey

Or a Rat-Tailed Rutabaga!


Have you ever grown any?

Or an escaped Gilberts Potoroo. Probably a touch unlikely though
seeing as it's well on the endangered list. :-)

It sounds like a hideous disease!

That's enchanting, so I hope it's not what Kay saw and is safely
tucked up somewhere.

If you think that's cute how about a Quokka...

Sorry, I'm having an Ozzy marsupial day.





Aaahh! That's so cute. Mind you, if I wanted to find a real cutie in
my garden, it would have to be a Fennec Fox, even if it doesn't answer
the OP's description!
