Undoubtedly it doesn't compare with firebombing a house, no. I just don't understand why anyone would want to do it. It's shan. Like bullying, I never understood that either.

My two cats have always been outdoor cats and I'm not going to stop them now. On the rare occasions we have had to keep them in for a couple of days (after vaccinations) they kept up a near constant wall-of-death around the house. Fortunately we live along a pedestrian pathway and they both have a healthy fear of the road at the end, in fact they never seem to go out of eyeshot anyway...

Jock/Scott (which is it???) - I don't believe I know you... my real name is Holly, I play whistles, small pipes and border pipes. Does that ring any bells?
