At last we see Mrs Slocombe's pussy! Good one, Anita.

Great ones so far, folks. I was worried that it might be too hard to caption.

Ah, had to look that one up... slightly before my time, or else I was too young to watch it, but my parents loved it. :wink:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

"If one of you is called Donald, then I'm not coming out!" called the cat, anxiously.

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

[I knew you'd understand the reference, Cathy. Sadly, I don't think many others (if any) did. It just came into my mind wnen I saw the picture. It was an interesting theme in your story openings, but the cat/human blur is immensely difficult to pull off convincingly. I presume that you came to the same conclusion. Have you ever seen the 1942 film, 'Cat People'? A completely different take on the theme, but brillantly effective.]

It was a real pantomime trying to get the cat to let them in.
