    Some would even include cats! Yikes!! hahaha

    My aunt and uncle had a dalmation when I was a young kid. Not only would it eat anything, as in food, my aunt once dropped a china saucer which it promptly ate!! The vet didn't seem overly-concerned saying it should pass through without any problems! He was right...

          SAM_6116.JPG @Jack Sparrow: A "Shot"? I thought that was whisky? :cheers:

          Hmmm... no Baileys in here, but smells like porridge...

                You don't need a dishwasher when you have a cat.

                          Sarafi had just checked out the flower arrangement that Mrs Shiney had made for our Friends 80th birthday party. We can't quite work out what he thinks of it - apart from the fact 'it's not food' :sad:

                              You know it's not food, I know it's not food... give it time! hahaha. On a more serious note to cat lovers - keep Lillies away from them. You'll know that the orange pollen gets everywhere. The cat will lick it off their paws, and I'm informed it's highly poisonous to them!

                                Yes, it's very important :old:

                                You should remove the anthers before they start to produce the pollen (if they haven't already done so) and it will also increase the life of the flower.
