Rury Pets Bessey

In The Cats of the Faculty of Biology, nothing was clearer than Rury's affection for the feline denizens of the faculty. And nothing may show it more than these B-roll shots of him with Bessey. Caring for the cats requires more than feeding them, as despite their self-confident outward projection, cats are sensitive and will (mostly) reciprocate the love they receive.

The last shot, meanwhile, shows our numerous troubles getting Bessey to sit still. Cats love sitting around for hours on end, until you actually want them to stay still, at which point it's the most inconvenient thing in the world. Even this shot, which is slightly out of focus, is a failed one, but when you're filming such unruly creatures, at some point you just have to wrap up and call it a day. They might reciprocate your love, but only in the manners they, themselves, deem fit.
