I was looking for my damn kitten! Cocoa is what is known as the great escape artist. He's found out he can get outside via my larder window. Tiny gap but enough for small kitten. Grrrr! 30 mins later, I can finally sit in front of the tv watching Paralympics.

Canned tuna. They come running every time.

Do you know AA, last week I would have agreed with you but I've since learnt its extremely bad for them. Poisonous. Here's what a veterinarian had to say.

I've had to treat numerous cats over the years for pretty severe enteritis resulting from eating tuna meat. One of my own babies got so ill from it when someone else left it sitting out on the counter for 5 minutes while he turned his back to take a phone call, that I had to put her on IV fluids for 2 days, in addition to intestinal medications.

How many cats do you know who go swimming in the ocean to catch tuna and eat it as part of their natural diet???

Tuna-FLAVORED food....okay. Tuna meat.....bad.

I 'love' brownies....but that doesn't mean they're good for me. Cats also 'love' antifreeze....but we all know what it will do to them. :-/

The most you should do is to use the water that is drained off from the can of tuna (not the oil...for another reason), and drizzle it over their dry cat food once or twice a month. They'll think they died and went to cat heaven!....but without the danger.

For the man who has everything!

Scifan. What can I say. Those pictures are worth more than a 1,000 x 1,000 words!

We will be certainly going to the USA and getting dressed up for the occasion Chic-a-go! :)

Our cousins were telling us that the city has some of the best museums in the States, and all in the same area.

Busily downloading photos from our Paralympic experience last night. The afternoon and evening were positively magic. Everything ran smoothly, and to the schedule I had worked out.
