Listening to all of your cat stories, I do not have one of my own because I am cat less, but listening to my audio version of the local rag namely the Leicester Mercury,, I was amused to hear that a lady who lives locally and has a cat says that her cat arrives home most evenings with a sock in it's mouth, and she now has a carrier bag full, her neighbour tells her that she see's the cat walk along the garden wall most days with a sock in it's mouth. The neighbours have all been asked if they have lost any socks from their lines or washing baskets, but none have lost any, now the said newspaper is posting pictures of all the socks on it's web site to try and solve the mystery, I will keep you posted, Chris Simpson Leicester, skype name chriscringle2
