I've been having a look at the member's pictures and it struck me that the pic of you and Ben is one of the nicest pictures I've ever seen of someone and their cat!!!
Ooh thank you
I actually took that picture using the timer on my camera - it was for my grooming column I used to write in Cat World (about 4 yrs ago now) - it was supposed to have been a pic of me and Joe (as in Scruffy Joe's Cat Grooming) - BUT, Joe had other ideas and no way was he gonna stick around long enough for the pic to get taken - there were many of him leaping out of my arms and me with surprised look on my face! LOL!
So got hold of Ben instead and he just sat there like a babe in arms
He's back to his normal fluffed up self now
