    It's ok. I chopped my hair off. And I have big sunglasses.

    I'm being interviewed by a neighbour's cat as a possible new parent at the moment. She is so friendly and pretty and looks just like the one I had that got squished. I wouldn't tempt it away from its current home (of course - that would be mean), but if it decides it prefers being here, that's its own decision.

    (Must just pop out and get some more prawns...)

    So many thing I want to say to this!
    1 Ah, how nice for you to have a puddy cat
    2 A visitor that can't answer back and gives love unconditionally
    3 Best not tempt it away from home
    4 But if it is it's own choice
    5 Um, prawns???
    6 More prawns?????
    7 Not really trying to tempt it away from home much then :rotfl:
    8 Prawns??? You can afford prawns?????
