    ROFL ..... that's just what it's like!!!!! I don't normally let the cat share my bed - if only for this reason, but I was ill last week and thought that I had shut both the downstairs door and my bedroom door. I was too out of it to do it properly and in the middle of the night the cat appeared. She purred like a road drill, then moved for ages until she felt comfy, but that involved her whiskas sticking in my face and then her whole body on my face... so I moved her and she settled for about 30 seconds when she decided to clean herself. Now, that might not sound bad, but she REALLY SLURPS and of course rocks back and fore as she cleans vigorously.
    Anway the upshot was that even though I felt really ill I staggered up and took her downstairs just so I could GET SOME SLEEP!!!

    I know. My Chocky used to sleep right beside my pillow and the whiskers were always tickling my face and waking me up. I do miss her and she has been long gone now about 6 years I will always miss her. She was a Chocolate point Siamese.

    I've been passing this around at work to all the cat-owners. It makes me laugh every time I play it

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    not a cat lover myself..more a dog person ( i had to have my westie put down last april due to ill health) but must admit this made me chuckle alot.
    great animation.
    p.s. this has solved a mystery for me..... where chocky takes her name from!!
    i know what you mean, chocky, about missing your pet, they become very much a family member don't they.
    we have very young grandchildren at moment so another dog in the house is'nt really practical. unfortunately since he died i dont go out anywhere near as much with my binoculars. (thats why i'm here typing this, i've become far too lazy on my days off!!)
