My first cat
I'll blog properly inabit, but for now, here is a photo I just found of me with our first cat. Note the cardboard box in the background, which I decorated in a transparent attempt to buy the cat's love. Note the look of fear in the cat's eyes. "Help me," he is pleading at the camera, "a creature whose flesh makes me cringe is touching me. Also, does this angle make me look fat?":
Orange dungarees! What a tres fashionable child I was.

Katja / Website (2.1.07 18:41) Good God. I know you're small, but that would appear to be one GIANT cat there... |

The -Editor / Website (3.1.07 11:54) What's your cat's name? When I get my first cat (my own, as opposed to my family's many cats...) I'm going to call it 'Kongla', which means 'pinecone' in Norwegian! Unless anybody out there can come up with some better and cooler cat names... |

foxinthesnow / Website (3.1.07 12:04) My cat's name was Puss. The one after that - also Puss. It's important when choosing a name to pick one that is not embarrassing to shout out the back door, or to hear the vet announce across a crowded waiting room. Cf: Fluffybunnykins, Catface, Bastard. |

Pendullum / Website (3.1.07 14:44) My Gawwd, That is one of the biggest 'cats'I have ever seen... It is as tall as you... But boy, are you excited to get a hold of the cat...In the following shot is the cat in a frilly dress and bonnet? |

quips (4.1.07 10:16) Beast of Bodmin I reckon. Cute cat though. |
|
gamba / Website (4.1.07 12:59) Heehee, you haven't changed a bit. Are you sure that's a cat? |
|
foxinthesnow / Website (4.1.07 13:28) Can we please remember I was very small? Indeed, in many respects, I was a child? I'll find a photo of the cat standing next to a grain of rice or something so you can judge its size. Ta, Gamba. You're right - my hair is just as ludicrous and I love stickers. Nothing's changed. |

Moobs / Website (5.1.07 19:15) Good Lord ... did you ride that monster to school? |
