• It occurs to me that many of you cat-fancying witterers don't read strawberryfrog, which means you may not have encountered the catcam.

(The weather being what it is at the moment, I suspect we'll end up with multiple close-ups of the carpet and the bars of the heater, but hey).
  (Edited to add: of course it's on boingboing. Everything is on boingboing. Everything interesting, at any rate).
