    Happy anniversary 🥂 I laughed out loud at Soot paw typing 🤣 My cat had done that before. She also swiped a work colleague across the virtual face when he was talking on a Teams call.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪
