Just catching up with the list messages and now I find my screen has gone
all sort of distorted - PS would call it liquified.  You have my
condolences, been there done that far too many times.  Sniff.

Number 1 feature when house-hunting for the current place was cat-safe.
We've ended up relatively in the boonies to achieve that, and now the cats
have to lower their tails when ducking under the neighbours' electric
fence.  No it's not a prison but a paddock.

Trust you have a least one good photo - now you have a reason for doing some
enlargements.

Get a kitten sooner rather than later.
