My daughter, Enya, has an alarm on her phone set for 4pm that does sound like a teapot pouring.
The reason?
To remind her to have a mug of hot chocolate (she loathes tea).

Regards,

Richard

This clip of a cat watching the film Psycho made me laugh so much - the expression on its little face :lol: ! (Make sure you have the sound on.)

Oh the poor cat...

Very funny but not fair on the poor thing. Couldn't get over how their pupils changed size..

Regards,

Richard.

To be fair to the owners, she was free to leave at any time (as explosively demonstrated at the end) - although perhaps seeing her agitation a bit of reassurance would have been good. What got me was how involved she got in it, I was surprised that a cat would "get" the horror and suspense of it.

Looks quite like our 'Fluffy' used to before he died. However, he only ever looked like he was in charge.

Reminds me of those domino setups that were so popular some time ago!
