Cute ginger tabby cat visits his local carpenter to get a quote for a new string-covered scratching post...

He wants that thick sisal string, not the cheap cotton parcel string that old folk used to use to tie parcels up before they invented sticky tape. My grandma sent me a parcel wrapped up with string once. Twice! I was only in the front room setting fire to the piano (long story...) so she could've just opened the door and handed it to me! But - she didn't get out much, the Post Office was just around the corner and a ten minute wait in the queue would give her a story and ammunition to complain for a good 6 weeks or so. The ginger cat is called Seephaw. C - for - Cat. Get it! I had a sheepdog called Deephor once. It could open tins of hotdogs itself, just by doing that sideways head-tilt thing that border collies do. I like ketchup on my dogs. 🍅
