Allergy to perfumed cat litter?

Can't really get the hang on perfumed cat litter, neither can the Lair cats. At least I've found a brand of non-perfumed cat litter. More expensive of course smiley - sigh

I have to say I have absolute respect for Carwardine for that. It looked really very painful indeed.

a joke:

A man tells his friend to join him to see his son playing piano at a school concert.
The boy plays really bad. When the concert ends the proud father tells his friend:
-Well, what do you think of the execution?
-Oh,no! my friend, no execution but a good slap will be enough.

I'm reminded of this quote:

"If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed, I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which never yet hurt anybody. It is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance which does harm."

Any guesses who said that?

Why is it virtually impossible to buy real Irish woollen socks online when living in Eye Land, unless you have a USA zip code?

I think i shall have to resort to knitting them myself from imported NZ Kakapoo feathers.
