The neighbours cat used to come in through the cat flap (I've two mogs, moved over here with me) and spend the afternoon, he used to hear, as we all did cars coming and going in The Close where we lived, he just slumbered on, but when his "parents'" car engine was heard in the cul-de-sac, he upped and legged it home without looking out the window to check it was them, and was waiting on their doorstep as if to say "I've been waiting for you all day out here!". Now that's what I call a clever cat!

Was around in my childhood in the 60s. If you could chop out a few basic shapes says cats, horses, fairies, flowers or whatever as there used to be in the Fuzzy Felt sets, they might sell as toys for the Cat Stall. Only problem I haven't been able to think through is the board to stick 'em on. Although I remember running my set of Goldilocks and The Three Bears shapes up and down the folds of my bedding, off their board, when I was little :D Mabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236668697387136447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-92053697528149686542018-02-20T15:12:49.459+00:002018-02-20T15:12:49.459+00:00the only time I use the iron is for my quilting.
