You Can Lead A Cat To Water...

We should be on our way to Newport but they're still involved in the FA Trophy - was it only a year ago we were playing Gateshead in the semis? - and our game in south Wales has now been rescheduled to a Tuesday night in April.

Obviously this leaves a few of us with time to fill and as we all know, nature abhors a Saturday without a lunchtime session so for me I head into town and the Euston Tap for noon opening - no prizes for originality there.

Let's face it, no one needs photos of me having a drink in a pub so in an effort to plug the entertainment gap here is a clip of Devin, our male Abbysinian, having a paddle.

We're told cats hate water but if we don't get into a drawn bath pretty toute suite then we'll find him getting in and wandering round.

All very amusing until he decides he has had enough, jumps out and pads his wet feet all around the house.

We're now on the hunt for a few aquatic toys (e.g. rubber duck) that might encourage him to be more active so who knows where this all might end? Water polo for cats?

Don't worry, dear reader, you'll be the first to know of any new development..
