The weather is warmer and snow turns to rain, outside for us freedom awaits, no clearing a path down the driveway again and no drifts piling up by the gate. The cat ventures out with a wave of her tail eight days of confinement now end, I've tried everything to keep her entertained but she's driven me right round the bend. We played with some string and a white plastic ring Catnip mouse and a ball of tinfoil, tried to teach her pontoon she just sat on the cards while my patience went right off the boil. When one day I need to find some other pet there is one thing for sure, and it's that a Snow Leopard will be the creature I'll get and not some young hard to please cat.

Cute. My daughter just had to have another cat. It has destroyed all of our window blinds.

Thanks Richard, I do love her but this has been a real chore. As they say, you know who your friends are once you've shared a tent/boat/RV with them for a week ( delete where applicable). Regards, Viv
