WHY WE RAN IT
Ora is one of a number of Chinese EV brands hoping to make it big in Europe. Does its first model land on its feet?
Three years ago, my family said goodbye to our beloved cat Ferris. A local celebrity and utter divo, he was a simple creature who liked two things: sleeping and eating. Affectionate old thing, too, and charismatic. Anyway, his departure (after 16 very sedentary years) springs to mind now that I’m saying goodbye to another cat that’s been a big part of my life. Because it struck me that he and our Funky Cat weren’t all that different in terms of their most distinctive attributes.
Take Ferris’s aversion to exploration. Far more content to lounge around on the dining table than venture even two gardens over in pursuit of mice, he had what you might refer to as a unique case of feline range anxiety. You see where I’m going with this, perhaps.
