lol at the mind image of a cat furiously washing...
It cracks me up when a cat does something clumsy, and gets obviously embarrassed as hell -- especially when people laugh at them.
They try to act all nonchalant like: "Yeah, I totally meant to do that..."

It's "It's "a" not "an".", not "Its a not "an".".

No, I haven't yet, but I will. I'll request it from the library.

There's a classic youtube vid of a cat trying to jump onto a computer printer, but lands on the paper sticking out the front, which collapses...
Hilarity ensues.
Can't embed link cos I'm at work

My (blonde) sister might relate. We used to ride our bikes on the local school's tennis courts. During the winter there would be no nets up.

one day she was out there pootling around, tarmac area 3 courts wide and long, not a single thing else.....

...apart from one pole used to hold a net up.

You can imagine the rest.

Took out 3 teeth - poor wee thing

Laugh? I nearly peed myself

Star picket, star dropper, wire picket - never a Waratah.

I've wondered why they call those steel posts 'waratahs'.

I still wonder...
