I can totally sympathise with you David.

I'm glad that I now know I'm not alone in this world and my spinning ball of fluff and razor blades is not a unique burden that I have to live with.:lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for all the kind comments. I hate to disillusion anyone but this is not my original work. I had two cats when I was younger and so can relate to this problem. I have vivid memories of attempting to apply flea powder to one. The story we passed to me by email and so I can't acknowledge the author in the approved manner :shrug:.
