Only twenty or so posts left! Where's Portia with her inspirational poem to start the next?

I know right!? A polar bear would be fine, it's not like I'm asking him for something silly, like a horse. It would just jump over the neighbour's fence. A polar bear would be fine with a pond, I'd chuck in a few ice cubes so he feels at home. And he can keep my feet warm in bed at night.

I'm putting the kettle on. Anyone want a cuppa?

Absolutely! He'd be happy enough standing on a gigantic see-through mint for most of the day, anyway.

What a handsome beast your cat is

[toadgirl]

since they're house cats, I didn't want them pissing everywhere

Totally agree. Uncastrated males' pee stinks to high heaven. It's even worse than ordinary pee.

Oh go on, then. You've twisted my arm, etc.

A nice strong cup of tea (milk, no sugar). I've had two coffees with milk and sugar already today.

Portia dear, nearly your time to shine.

[RedOnHerHedd]

Nice strong cup of Glengettie tea. Milk, no sugar.

I haven't felt the same affection for polar bears ever since that poor boy at Eton was eaten by one on a school trip to the Arctic.

But this hamster killed THREE people. I'd rather take my chances with the Polar bear!!!

"According to the papers filed in Superior Court, an unnamed woman purchased a hamster from Petsmart in 2005 and died of a stroke shortly afterwards. She was an organ donor, so her liver was transplanted into Thomas Magee, who died of LCMV one month later. The transplant was performed at Massachusetts General Hospital in April 2005. Five days after the transplant occurred, according to the suit, Magee “was exhibiting high blood pressure and a fever.”
The immediate cause of Magee’s death was “determined to have been the dissemination of LCMV in the liver he received,” according to the court papers.
Tragically, two other people who received organs from this same organ donor subsequently died and another one became seriously ill, according to the court papers. The organ donor’s pet hamster was later tracked down and found to be infected with LCMV."
