I'm not really a cat person. I prefer dogs. But reading of Tim's fixation with his new cat (Field Day) reminded me of a story told by the titled lady who was President of Norfolk YFC's in the 1960's. Filling in at a harvest supper for a speaker who had failed to turn up she told the following tale.
There was a beautiful and sophisticated white lady cat who one day met her friend, an equally attractive and well bred brown lady cat. "Oh darling" she said to the brown cat "I did so envy you last night, out on the tiles with that gorgeous ginger Tom". To which the brown cat replied " Darling, I'm afraid your envy is misplaced. He was talking about his operation all night."

Thanks for giving us a laugh with your story about sophisticated cats - reminded me of the story of Winston Churchill being at a Thanksgiving dinner and asking his hostess for some of the breast of turkey - she replied that they called it white meat in USA. In the morning she received a corsage with a card saying "For your white meat".
A little more sophistication on the blogs would go down well - stories of scruffy moggies don't do anything for me!

Hi David,
I'm told your dog's called Pearl - after the barley.
You're not alone in naming your pet after a cereal variety, I knew someone who had a dog called Malacca.
Tim
