What is their fascination
It amazes me that Yvonne's cat always manages to sit itself on the layout as soon as I have left the room…Don't let Charlie fool you ! He may look timid, but I have nicknamed him 'Evil', which he can be at (most) times…
Cheers, Gary.

Don't get me wrong, I have 3 cats, all with different personalities, none of them good.

I have two cats with a similar attitude, the only thing that puts them in their place is Martha my African grey parrot,my can that beak can cause damageThe trouble with cats is that they have attitude. Every cat I have ever had has always treated me as a lodger in my own house.

Wot? Like this?? :cool winkMy cats always seem to have fancied themselves as typists on the computer. Couldn't stand to see me typing on my own. Very helpful.

Certainly made me chuckle
Whenever I write a letter to someone, I add a footnote briefly explaining Ohm's law. It's my P.S. de resistance.

He did also assist with the building of the layout in its earlier stages.
Odd! The picture is in the gallery but doesn't want to display here. Bob, could you have a look at that at some stage, please? It is one of my earlier uploads. Edit: Have copied the thumbnail from the gallery but the pic itself doesn't want to link properly (I PM'd Bob with the page number - 68 - to see if there is anything that can be done to fix it).

The phrase "without warning, a paw would come around (with claws out)" makes me shudder……I used to have a cat that would wait until I was eating spaghetti. It would then sit on the sofa behind my head and then without warning, a paw would come around (with claws out) and make a grab for the spaghetti as I put it in my mouth.
Certainly made me chuckle
On 'early turn' one morning many years ago I got up at 0500 and as quietly as I could made myself a cuppa. Dusty, a black version of the sabre toothed-tiger rubbed against my bare legs as I stood wearing nothing underneath my dressing gown. In a misguided moment I turned round and squatted down to pour a little milk into his bowl. As I did so he swatted at what was dangling in mid-air with a clawed paw.
The milk bottle went up the wall, I pulled the plastic shelf fitting off the inside of the fridge' door and as I came down to earth I trod barefooted on the broken milk bottle and then hopped onto a near full carton of Cranberry juice. Naturally the piddling plastic cap didn't choose to stay in place and a litre of red sticky stuff shot across the floor at precisely the moment SWMBO flounced barefoot into the kitchen to demand why I had woken her up……..
Hhm……..we haven't had a feline friend since…
