Having not lived at home for nearly nine years now, I've more or less forgotten what living with cats is like.

Things I'd forgotten:

How much more difficult it is to skin chicken legs when there are two furry menaces who very much want to "help".

How tricky it is to make a cat understand that you don't want it to sit on you - since I developed severe Cat Allergy, I don't want them near me (well, at any rate, I don't want the attendant sneezing, eyes stinging and lumpy skin). Since I like cats, repeatedly pushing them away makes me feel guilty :(

What a surprising range of noises cats can make. Particularly when throwing up. (Still, at least she chose a room that has a wooden floor rather than a carpet).

How disconcerting it is when a cat becomes instantaneously terrififed of a patch of empty space. Probably just our house poltergeist on his rounds again, but even so...

Irrelevantly: anyone know where my mother has hidden the turmeric ?

Update: Many thanks for the help with this... just to set your minds at rest, it was eventually located at the back of the shelf, in a box rather than a jar, which had slipped over sideways and hid itself behind the taller jars. Thus
