Perspective

I was going to post a long and involved post asking why all the Worldcup palaver turned into such sturm und drang, donder and blitzen, Grumpy and Sleepy, but then the Monster kitten spent the last five minutes playing splashies with her water bowl and now I have two little cats sitting on my feet drying off in front of the heater.

And it occurs to me that rather than getting to the heart of why so many of my lovely friends were so drained by Worldcup (I was in the group drained before postings, as opposed to the group who lost the will to live during, who should not be confused with the mods who are even now forming a support network), what I really want to do is hire an aeroplane, jet round the world, pick everyone up, and bring you all here to play with the cats.

 Bugger tea and Xanax, there's nothing like a kitten nomming on your toes to make the world seem a more pleasant place.

But I don't like kitties. I prefer puppies.

Is that a cue for more angst and woez?

No, because you may always substitute puppies for kittens.

My actual kitten thinks she is a puppy, she runs through the house dragging her favourite fluffy toy on a stick and string, then comes and drops it at my feet before looking up at my hopefully.

The older cat just looks at her, aghast, and makes mental notes for a spot of re-education when we are out of the house.
