My cat’s just thrown up on my bed!
Much as I love my cat, Meg, she can be quite disgusting. I’d just settled down to do some re-writes on my novel, and was well into my stride, when I was distracted by the most godawful noise. Retching, her head darting back and forwards, my sweet little kitty brought up her entire tea. Was she ill? I hear you ask. No, says I, she’s just a gannet. Honest to God you’d think she never got fed, such is the speed with which she consumes her food.
To add insult to injury she then takes a crap, filling the room with the fragrance of eau de poo and finishes up by legging it into the kitchen and overturning the bin!
Cats, love ‘em, loathe ‘em? What do you think?

We’ve had dirty protests on our bed before now, think yourself lucky Meg just squeezes out a curly one on your rug…

And pees – but I’ve found a marvelous product that takes away the fresh tang of cat urine.

That would be the reason why my husband won’t allow me to have cats anymore…

Trouble is,Meg’s so cute and sweet looking, with huge round eyes so she always looks shocked, that I can’t bring myself to throttle her!

Quite right, she looks such a blissed-out cat, you can’t possibly throttle her

She is blissed out, wish I was!
