hi Malcolm, I like your story about the cat called socks, thank's for sharing that. your story reminded me about a funny thing that happened when we had a cat, it was a nice warm sunny day and I was sun bathing in the garden on a sun bed, I sat up for some reason and when I went to lay back down, the back of the chair went right down and the other end shot up! our cat had been under there but as the end went up the cat shot out really fast! it must have looked really funny to someone watching, there was I laying on the chair with my feet in the air. will never forget that. Sennjan.
