As usual Jasper leads the way with some excellent advice here – especially in the final frame.

That poor bvgger Chris Martin must now be atoning for sins in a former life.

I have a question, too: what is the polite number of fur balls to heave at your hostess’s feet when she becomes overwhelmingly saccharine-sweet sickening?

I thought she was a python?

Zut, I think it’s that she’s saying all that stuff which is so annoying. Call me old-fashioned, but as a regular host, I’d be delighted if all my house-guests thought like that.

Ha! Life ruined and made homeless?
If only that were the extent of the damage done to Kevin Rudd’s Cat’s Kevin Rudd.
He’s been “knifed”, “assassinated”, “decapitated”, “stabbed in the back” and “farted in his general direction”.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a party where there wasn’t frotting in the hallway.

I love Jasper. Can we have a weekly advice column with His Catship?
