You know, George, you really should find an alternative to those last-minute before-bed Red Leicester-and-Whiskas toasties! DON'T GO THERE! |

I've decided to have a really early night and I did want to sign off by posting a picture of my son's new Polydactl kitten. Unfortunately I still can't get into Photobucket. Anyway, it's beautiful (if you like cats and I know most of you do). It's a pure tabby with amazingly blue eyes and 7 toes on each front foot, 6 on the back feet. When I manage to download the photo I'll show you.
Aren't there some beautiful specialist breed cats now? I have a friend with a Maine Coon (spelling?). It's massive with huge back feet like a rabbit. Most odd. It's deaf as well.
Night all.

Sweet dreams everyone. Subversion early tomorrow, with a voluntary I haven't practised.  |

Soothing restorative sleep to Milly and Eruanto. Gosh! Just been googling Polydactyl kittens. What little poppets they are. Can they type and play the piano?  Isn't there a danger they will take over the world?   |

Gorgeous George!  Can you imagine the nightmare of having to find shoes to fit them... Night night everyone, however many toes you have.  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Indeed! Here he is, pretending to be a polydactyl kitten:  |

Bloomin' eck! And here's the Maine Coon, the other type Mills mentioned. They may start out as tiny sweeties  but they grow up into this! Shome pussycat!  |

Maine Coons fully grown are as big as a medium-size dog. My friend's cat is huge but interbred, hence the deafness. They're very expensive but hers was a rescue.
Lovely though those are, if I had a cat I'd choose a Siamese or those gorgeous long-haired ones with the squashed-up faces. I love the noise that Siamese cats make.

Siamese are canny creatures, too, Mills: in some ways more like a dog than the majority of cats. Not only do they have a good deal to say for themselves, but always have to have the last word. They seem to be happier in pairs or upwards, whereas many "standard" cats are quite content to be solitary. I have a friend in the Midlands who is now on her third generation of them: here are two of the three, demonstrating their mutual devotion, even in sleep: |

OH THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!! I've actually seen people taking them for walks on leads so perhaps that's why I like them - because they're more dog-like. Being very canny sometimes gives them a bad image - remember Lady and the Tramp? If I didn't live on a very busy main road at the front of the house I think I might have got a couple of those lovely cats. |
