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.

Ah sorry. Just FYI it is a clip of a three week old leopard kitten that had been abandoned by its mother and wandered into someone's house in India.

The thing that got me, apart from the belly (and everything else) was the rumbling growly purr. No matter how impractical or irresponsible - do want.

There's a chap in New Zealand who hand-raises all sorts of big cats. They are appallingly adorable, but I hold my breath every time I see him on a documentary playing tag with a 250kg wild animal. It's like the cow I handraised as a calf who would always suckle my fingers years later, except with teeth and claws.
