my cat likes to lay along the edge of the bath when I am having a soak. She normally nods off until I get out, but poor thing has fallen in a couple of times where it's been a bit slippery. She has also threatened an attack on her own shadow and pounced on herself in the mirror, which is wierd because I didn't think cats had that sort of awareness of their reflection. She has never caught anything proper but regularly goes for socks from the laundry, and will bring them to me or leave them on the back door mat as some other cats do with dead animals.
I guess my cat isn't too bright.
I had a toad when I was a kid ( as well as rabbit, hamster, gerbils, dog and cats). It was a bit like noah's ark at our house. Now it's just me & my lovely cat who I got as a kitten when I started the PhD. She is great company & listens to all my presentations.
This is one for anybody who was at the B.S.A or who saw the front page of the Times Higher on Friday. What with our Bobby's TV series and my dally with an agent I thought it was quite timely. Aparently we have a duty to promote ourselves as public intellectuals, but UK academics in particular suffer from being misunderstood and ridiculed by the media & policy makers who think we're a bunch of abtract wafflers out of touch and with no grip on the real world.
