Lucy Fishwife said...: You see this is exactly my point. Dogs will eat ANYTHING. While in no way would I claim cats are superior, especially to a dog-lover, the worst they'll do is lick the butter if you're fool enough to leave it out. Got to admit that dogs love you more though...; 15 January 2009 at 11:45
Titian red said...: Ah yes, butter sculpting.....as the possession of numerous cats over the years I am only too aware of their artistic leanings. Fortunately the Great Dane keeps the current stylists out of the kitchen so we only have to pick his hair off the butter....naiiice !; 15 January 2009 at 14:38
Titian red said...: RR - not ill at all but I am somewhat apprehensive about lighting a cigarette anywhere in his vicinity for a few days. As LF says above they will eat anything ...well the stupid ones anyway (this also applies to teenagers, unless it is something cooked "with love" by a guilty mother; 15 January 2009 at 14:40
Cassandra said...: OMG you are sooooooooo right about the cooked with love thing. Have this with the kids all the time. Also the very bizarre thing where Bruiser LOVES a dish, so I think that I've got it cracked and have found something he loves, I cook it again and he turns his little nose up like a classy, disdainful cat. ALL SO BAFFLING!!!! RRxxx; 16 January 2009 at 10:11
Joanna Cake said...: LMAO at the teenagers eating anything other than stuff cooked with love by their mother. I soooo know that feeling!; 19 January 2009 at 11:57

Dramatis Personae

Husband of nearly 28 years - silent type, (maybe because he never gets a chance to say much, although I suspect it's just he's a silent type.)

Boychild - Nearly 22, at Uni doing something geeky (ie I don't understand it) and doing it so well he has just been offered an M.Eng. Recently joined the human race and rather good fun.

Girlchild - 20, we used to fight like cat and dog but are now at a state of wary neutrality. Also believes she owns my car - if you are reading this you don't ! Still pining desperately for life in the USA although recently Australia has entered the equation.

Assorted friends who I consider myself lucky to have.

Sister - Whiz kid, considerably younger than self who does not understand shoe envy.

Parents - Will only be mentioned if I am feeling very brave or very needy.
