Haha Charmion, Watson sounds such a scream! Cats do like to sniff feet. Our Siamese would probably have done a passing wee on each player's leg, just to be friendly of course.
No sign of MickeyPickey/Sam today, and I just hope he's either passed away or has been taken to the vet. He couldn't have gone on in that state. Although he wasn't actually my cat, I do miss him already. And I hope his last few months over the summer were happy ones on The Bench at my side. (gulp. tears)
