| A long time ago, after I'd moved out on my first wife, she told me that one of our two cats had gone missing. She also told me that she thought he'd been looking for me and that was why he'd got lost. Rather stupidly, I kind of believed that at the time. AFAIK he was never found. Not long after, I ... |

A small black cat.
I once knew a man who had a pet pig called Rasher. |

| i'm glad a good sensible plausible explanation readily availed itself to you. ^^^ Well, it was only a glib interpretation off the top of my head.

| I suppose I just analyse arguments to see if they're logical, check the premisses to see if they're correct, and look for emotive words and other propaganda tricks in the argument. Then I try to decide what I think about the matter, and whether I need to modify it at all on the basis of the new inpu... |

Good answer. Moving house can involve an eye-wateringly huge amount of hard work. I think I'm too old to sell my UK home. |

| There was a sign at a pool where I grew up; it said WELCOME TO THE OOL. It then said the only thing missing is the P; let's keep it that way Ah, the wonders of propaganda. :heart: Draws public attention and makes them laugh with the signwriter, not at them. Wouldn't work on me, but then I wouldn't ... |

He asked me, in a roundabout and suspicious-sounding way, whether the price was fixed or negotiable. I felt he was trying to get me to agree to a large price reduction before he'd even looked... |

| For me the problem is about balancing attention for the animal with everything else I've got going on in my life. I've got a cat these days, and she doesn't like me being so busy.
