Hmm, number 14 appears relevant to several wargamers and their figure collections, and number 25 is surely an observation on Anthony's pet.

I had a previous cat, the mighty Howie, who did snuggle into my beard and slobber - joy. Mina, the current cat, is better suited to the Scottish motto "Touch not the cat but a glove" given the long scratch on my wrist where she slashed me down the week  :(
