  1. Droll! And Catford is a real district in southeast London, between Lewisham and Downham.

      1. As I understand it, it was a ford where there were a lot of cats, but I doubt if the cats did much fording themselves.

        1. Baihu is just as (un)comfortable in my 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang as he is in my 1968 VW Westfalia Campmobile as he is in my parents’s 1989 Lincoln Town Car or their 1955 VW Bug, so I don’t think the Ford angle is all that significant.

          1. LOL – you Gorens are clearly a buy-a-new car every year bunch:-). My soon-to-be 30-yr-old son’s first car was an even older Lincoln Town car that he bought from his high school shop teacher for $500 (people donated cars for tax writeoffs and the kids got the junkers running) in maybe 2002. I think it lasted about a year and it really guzzled gas. Don’t think we subjected any of our kitties to it, but they seem to be equal-opportunity Ford and Honda haters.

    2. Yep, I live in Brockley which is in the Borough of Lewisham along with Catford. It’s not to far away but, truth be told, there isn’t any particular reason to visit it. The central road system can be interesting if you cycle.

  4. Felids aren’t part of the pure and natural ingredients, are they?? This MIGHT read that way…

      1. Well, the small amount of gluten they get from the stomachs of their prey is just fine. Indeed, that was how it all started…mice ate our wheat, cats ate the mice, and the rest is history….

  7. And you can get yours at any humane society/animal shelter in any town. You don’t need to go all the way to London.

  8. I usually just have a dose of domestic shorthair applied to the lap with my coffee. Usually I don’t have a choice about it.

    1. Emma the cat was all over Prof. Coyne’s book this morning, making it very hard to read. I don’t think she is reading it but who knows?

      1. Orson makes it hard to read anything that isn’t hardcover. He must rub his face on all the things!

          1. Baihu doesn’t rub his face on inanimate objects like that.

            He does, however, regularly try to shove his snout into my sinuses….

      1. I just wear crap clothes in the morning because sometimes the coffee cup must be face rubbed, and the result is predictable.

  11. Our Burmese Carla has enough catitude to spread over several families. If ever you are in Brisbane, Australia, you can have a sublime cat experience (and we have excellent coffee, imported from Vietnam).
