The cats are currently having a competition to see who can get the most cleavers (sticky weed) seeds stuck in their fur. So far Kit has been winning as she has managed to get into such a mess that I've had to cut chunks of her fur leaving her looking like an overweight moth eaten cuddly toy. Today however Demelza arrived inside with small green sticky round balls hanging off the backs of her legs. When I tried to prise them off I was only rewarded by her usual expression of shocked disapproval so I left her to pull them off by herself before she fell asleep exhausted on the armchair. However I have to announce that the competition was won by Mishka the dog who, in the process of sneaking into a shelter belt in search of bantam nests, managed to decorate himself with seed heads, grass and a few dead leaves for good measure so that he resembled a hairy walking Christmas tree. Didn't have the heart to tell him that he's over 300 days too early.
