Thanks Shin, Happy New Year to you and yours hen Thanks pip and I am glad to hear you enjoyed 'Chocolat'

Sorry hen, I missed the point definitely when they are kittens keep them in the one room, we did that with Quinn because she was into everything! and yes indeed a squirt bottle is a good idea, it worked wonders with Quinn during her 'I can eat electric wires' phase! (which she still does occasionally)

Great review Frankie, very insightful , I have only read 'The Old Man and Sea' and it took me some time too to read

Which is very understandable, what a horrible thing to happen to your wife, I am so sorry

Great advice Univerze I never move Quinn, I don't have the heart to

At the moment, just adverts

I'm almost finished 'Unwind' by Neal Shusterman

Well said Pixie

Hi Kylie, how are you? I am so excited for you, cats are the best pets I got Dylan from a pet store, something that I would not advocate because I don't think cats or dogs should be sold from pet stores but that's just me, so please excuse my soap~boxing, I took Dylan because he was the only one left and because the owner of the shop told me that 'the white one was giving him nothing but trouble' I grew up with cats, and if a cat knows its safe, the trust builds quickly, with Dylan it took ages and he attached himself to me more than my husband at the time. We got Quinn from a neighbour of my Mum's, Quinn was just happy she was getting attention and love , anyway I am waffling on, don't go by anything I say hen because when you have the cat, it all changes. Dylan had to be trained to go to the litter box, every so often, I would carry him and put in the litter box, so he knew the location, Quinn didn't because like Jamie, her Mum had taken her to the litter box. I wouldn't leave a cat in the one room for one day because you would have to move the litter box, therefore confusing them, as long as they have plenty of toys, access to a window, plenty of food, they are happy, are you planning to let your cat out or will he/she been a house cat? Getting a cat from RSPCA is a good idea (they need more people like you) there is a lot of cats out there in need of homes, if we ever get another cat, we will go to the RSPCA or the Cats Protection League (I think that is their name). I am sorry for waffling on Kylie and I hope some of this was helpful, my best advice is, remember your are the cat's pet not the other way around Oh Jamie is adorable Univerze, I love the one of him on the bed, they just plant themselves anywhere, Quinn does it all the time especially after I have just made the bed and gives me a look that says 'I dare you to move me' (but I never do)

I know I am such a cat Mum! :giggle: Quinn watching a pre Studio Ghibli movie (Lupin III~The Castle of Cagliostro), she's tuned into the car chase scene ~ 'This is much better than Gothika'

I think this is another example of political correctness going mad, I don't like a lot of the words in the story but they have their place in the story, 'Huckleberry Finn' is a classic and loved by many people and I don't think its fair to change the story, you have to ask yourself, where does it stop? how many more books can this happen to? Thanks for the links Ceinwenn very interesting indeed

Well he should be! :giggle: I'm watching 'Family Guy'

Yip still weird I added 'Popco' to my TBR pile, hope you get to read more hen

You rock Abby

I will add 'Gentleman and Players' to my wishlist, thanks Janet and Frankie I am going to try to be more tough with my book reviews this year, I have read books that I don't like but I don't have the heart to moan about them (sad I know ) Thanks for your lovely compliment Frankie

^Still the same

That's a shame that happened June you deserve better Good luck Katrina, I know you will do a fantastic job and what an excellent opportunity for you.

Interesting reviews Books do.. I am always interested in other people's insights and it sounds like Lewis is almost obsessed but ultimately incredibly disappointed

I mentioned it already on the post ~ great review hen

Hi Pixie, how are you? I am glad you enjoyed 'The Tenderness of Wolves' (its yet another book I keep meaning to read!)

Great review Janet, I do like the sound of 'The Elephant Keeper', I keep seeing it in Tescos, I will pick it up next time I am in, thanks for another fab recommendation

Hi angelha, how are you? I love the original film of 'True Grit', for me, its John Wayne at his best and I can' wait to see the Coen Brothers version I didn't know it was based on a book, another title to look out for, thanks

Thanks Lexie, you are welcome to my copy

Abby, you and Charm have both sold me on The Mortal Instruments books and the Infernal Devices too, they are all waiting to be read Thank you!
