Your thoughts on Margaret Thatcher please ?

Or should I say, a cat's never owned me. They're obviously very wise.

I love the way my GN friends are handling this! I just saw and ignored the original post, thinking "Oh no, not again." But this has made me smile.

Questiontime's gone very quiet! Perhaps the butter on his or her paws experiment failed and s/he is lost in the woods. Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf

I'm still trying to imagine buttered Nadel with marmite.

Don't Galen you'd need to have a lie down and then you'd miss you cruise!

We always used to butter our cat's paws when we moved house.The idea is that he will then associate the new house with nice things, as he licks them clean!

May I ask where you put the cat while it's licking 'em clean?

Not Marmite, Nasal and Nutella, that would require a LLD!!

Good grief, bossy iPad, NADAL not " nasal"!!!

New house could mean new carpets
Butter on paws could mean grease on the new carpet.

I knew there was a reason why we never had a cat.
(Besides the thought of all the furry and feathered presents they bring in.)

Ps just a thought - why are those bows called 'pussycat bows'? I have never seen any self-respecting cat wearing one.

Don't bother answering, I'm going out - again!
(Have to escape from GN sometimes otherwise .....)

PS The OP said the question should separate the men from the boys (sexist remark or what!)
How many who responded are female?

That's why the answers are so sensible (another sexist remark)

WHY?

Why what, Anno?

Why were we being asked to give our thoughts on a subject that's been done to death (sorry!) long ago?

Sorry about the repeats. My laptop isn't taking instructions very well today and I thought clicking 'control enter' hadn't worked, so clicked again - and again.

Ah, why indeed?
I just took it as a case of lighting blue touch paper before retiring and as such I suppose the "t" word springs to mind. Hope HQ are keeping their eye on the ball as they loll in the sun over the BH toil in a sticky office deprived of BH freedom.

Well, he's at it again with another long rant!

Now why are we assuming it's a "he"? (Not that I don't agree with you!)

We could have buttered and Marmited the paws of our Ginger ex tom cat. He was a right softy.

My posting produced a predictable result I see.

A friend who is something of an expert on cats suggested a way to introduce a new kitten to established house cats when my daughter rescued a tiny and very grubby kitten that was probably too young to be away from her mother (kitten, not daughter). She (friend, not daughter or kitten) suggested dabbing a little oil from a tin of pilchards on the back of the new kitten's neck and giving the pilchards to the house cats. The idea was that the cats would eat the fish and then lick the oil off the kitten's neck and everyone would have got to know each other in a friendly way. Dylan and Pepsi (house cats) guzzled the pilchards and shot out the cat flap, completely ignoring the kitten. After a couple of days, the kitten who was destined by absentdaughter to have some sort of girly name, started to smell awful and I remarked that she smelled like rancid fishpaste. Fishpaste she became and remained so for the next 17 years.

Questiontime My posting produced a predictable result I see. Really?
