They're clever like that. I used to have a very large alsatian that we chained outdoors in the warmer weather, that hated cats.

So did the cats stay away? Oh no, they just sat preening themselves about 2 inches beyond where he could reach.

I have seen cats on top of a fence preening themselves while a demented dog jumped and barked getting all worked up, when it had tired of the 'taunting' the cat then calmly jumped off the fence on the 'safe' side.

If cats were as big as dogs, no child (or even adult) would be safe.

Look at this video, that cat is like a hissing spitting Exocet missile.

Yeah they're called tigers. Very dangerous indeed.

I never know which cat I will wake up to. Last night I went to sleep with Ben on the bed. When I woke up this morning Ben was nowhere to be seen and Toby was on the bed instead.

That's the best kind of super soaker target, especially if it hasn't seen you!

Still makes me chuckle the noise it made as it fell off backwards.

Obviously landed on it's feet, it's a cat.

I got home tonight a bit late, Stu is away and my two were hassling me for dinner and making a right fuss. They must think I'm an idiot. I know my sister popped over earlier and fed them.

More junk mail. BT, Talk Talk, Sky. Buy your internet from us.

But we cannot supply you as BT don't think 20 houses at the far end of the wire are worth providing a service. 3G is faster than ADSL, and no fibre. Neighbours 100 yards away same post code, different exchange get fibre, we get sod all.

Work will not pay my internet from Virgin as it is a combined entertainment package with no itemised costs or VAT number. So I need a dedicated internet service.

Virgin can sell a internet only package, no line rental/tv etc....maybe get work to pay for that? Then go sky for your tv?

a 100 yard ethernet cable is well within specs

Actually a 100 yard Ethernet cable is at the limit of the spec.
