    There are standard sizes already - they're called "inches" and you can find them in all the finest (men's) clothing... ;)

    I know I want this in womens sizes :D:D:D

    Its a right pain at the moment but clothes shop claim its because if they size in inches people wont buy stuff because they dont like admitting their inches :rolleyes: *huffs*

    (didnt find a tape measure either...will have to go to the sewing shop in canarby st to get one :o)

    Its called the Rowan Tree Shelter in Rosyth. When I rang the first thing the voicemail said me was "we have no more space for adult cats!!" so am guessing they are pretty busy - they were also advertising on the website I was looking at for volunteers so i imagine they are short staffed and cat filled!
