\nSince it’s Monday, have a kitten in a basket. That’sa Sophie, the youngest of our three. She’s also called “princess paddy-paws”, “little madam” or “that bitch cat” by Sandra, depending on how annoying she’s behaving this time. Though I’m loath to ascribe human behaviour or motivations to an animal, I have to admit she’s a very girly<\/cite> cat, the kind of cat that would wear sparkly makeup if she could. She’s also the only cat I’ve ever seen who likes to play damsel in distress, deliberately hiding
\nherself behind the television table in the corner of the living room and then making out like she can’t get out again…\n<\/p>\n

\nOur other two cats are both male and somewhat less bright. Heckie is amiable but dim in that sort of rugby playing, Giles Wemmbley-Hogg<\/a> way. Very sweet though, with not a hint of a mean streak in him.\n<\/p>\n
