Save Our Animals (1)

From a very early age Cathy had been passionate ......... animals.
She used to hob nob (socialise) with people who ......... the same way as she did.
These people were not at all fuddy duddy (uninteresting) or indeed hoity toity (supercilious) and their main interest in life was to ......... that all animals were well treated.
She soon got to know one of the local big wigs (important people) in a local organisation ......... at stopping cruelty to animals.
He had been in his hey day (at his most successful time) an important ......... in a government department for agriculture.
In fact because he had refused to kow tow to (accept without question) some of the official regulations, he had been forced to take ......... retirement.
But as far ......... Cathy was concerned, he was the bee's knees (someone to admire) and when she left school, she went to work as his assistant in the Society for the Protection of Animals.
Her parents however were not at all pleased ......... where she had decided to work.
They lived in a des res (very attractive house) and her father, John Fortune, who was really a bit of a fat cat (wealthy businessman) thought that all this animal ......... was a lot of hocus pocus (nonsense).
Cathy and her father had several pow wows (conversations) about her decision but it usually ......... up with a lot of argy bargy (arguments).
