I was interested to read Pam Smart's letter ('Pet survey help', November 17) requesting help with her research.

In it she asked us to stare at our pets to see if we can wake them up. I thought I'd support her and Dr Sheldrake's work and have spent an hour staring at my pet.

Unfortunately there must be something wrong with our morphic fields because the little chap is still asleep.

Well I think he is . . . it's hard to tell with a goldfish!
