Hi baba, you ok? Do you want some catnip? Come have a cuddle.
Then I moved up and patted at the side of me and she looked at me like I'd just taken a dump in her water bowl and stalked off, mortally offended at the terrible insult she had received.

Im so glad mumsnet is anonymous. If anyone knew I talked to my girl like this they'd laugh their heads off.
