Hey, I discovered a great new game late Last night (albeit after a bottle of wine).

We have just had a laminate floor put down throughout the ground floor of Chateau Growltigga. The builders have just finished so the rooms are bare and very echo-y indeed. Cue me drunk sweeping up some of the sawdust. I find little Tigga's (one of my cats) favourite toy, a walnut she chases round the floor. The other cat joins in and hey ho, "Cat Hockey" is born.

I get one point is I can get the walnut passed the cats to the french windows, they get one point is they stop it. No aerial shots allowed, you gotta push toe walnut toward the goal with a broom...

after 45 minutes of intense play, I admitted defeat, the final score 71-50

GT, sounds like an interesting game!

Think I will go back over there and sit down!

ps: GT, you have a PM.

I play a kind of similar game with my cockatoo parrot.

I guess it could be called 'parrot soccer'.

I roll up a newpaper page into a ball and try to flick it past him into a goal.

He picks it up with his beak an flings it towards me.

He is accurate, quick and very funny as he dashes to pick it up and fling it back to me.

This is very funny. But, it might be mis-interpeted as the parrot being used as the soccer ball!

My older brother's middle name is David, mine is Patrick. My younger sister's middle name: Pila. I still have no idea how that happened.... (Can't blame it on my parents being hippies-- she was born in '75.)

Yes, it could be.

He gets very upset if I accidentally hurt him. But a few soothing words and all is forgiven.

You should see him when I give him a manicure. He lifts one leg for me to cut his nails and to polish them with a nail file. Then when that foot is finished, he gives me the other leg.

People who see this are quite intrigued as he obviously enjoys it.

Primitive has left the building because he is highly allergic to pets.
He will be back as soon as random and nonsensical violence starts again.
