New treasures...


In our flat we have decided to make an effort to clean out some of the junk around the house. Tonight we went through the bathroom cupboard. We came across a giant box of panadol tablets and about eleven used toothbrushes, nothing special.

The real find came from a set of drawers. It contained a book called 'A hundred and One Uses of a Dead Cat'. You can imagine how excited I was. The above image is the only one I could find on the internet. My favourite uses so far in the book have been the shoulder pads and the oven mitts.

  1. This is about the fifth time I have tried to comment on your blog, but your blog has always rejected me. I would just like to say that my previous four comments were incisive, witty and (deeply) moving, and nothing like this one. This one is mainly to say: when I was ten I thought 101 Uses For A Dead Cat was the funniest thing that had ever been written. Of course my tastes have matured somewhat. Now I think Your Mum jokes are funny.

  2. In your case your dead cat would be a ginger one.
    Maybe you could make one of those Scottish tartan wig hats out of it.

  4. I have been doing a similar thing at my place in anticipation of moving into Sellwood Manor. I have not found anything exciting yet but have discovered that Bennett loves collecting crap - stones, twigs, an old sieve, bits from old game. He is a horder in the extreme, I fear he will be a male version of the old cat lady (just to bring it back to your cat theme)
