Hullo! How are you, Lee?

Had it a few days ago but it went away really quickly this time.
It's called an optical migraine. I have had it once or twice. Not nice.
Marc what do they call those things that measure out a drink in pubs?

Really measure their drinks with 2 fingers! The pinky and the trigger.

Good thanks. Did you have a nice Christmas?

Alas, he's not one of my cats (I would like a pure white cat, even though I believe they're more prone to illnesses than non-whites). I was just under intense peer pressure and found it by putting "Santa cat" into a search engine.
Are white cats more prone to sunburn?

You're mocking, but ears on a cat will sunburn. I've had to put suncream on a cats ears before.
Have you tried a sunhat?
Genuine question, I'll have you know! I've ever only really known black cats. I wasn't sure which suffered more. My first instinct was white, because pale/white people burn quicker. But then I thought a back cat might get hot, as we would with a black shirt on.
We are getting cats soon. I don't know when, but it's something that's going to happen. So no mockery from me, Sir.
I believe - and this might be pure bollocks - that pure white cats lack something that makes them more susceptible to disease. But they're actually pretty rare so I doubt you'd find one.
My first kitty was pure white. She lived to be quite old and I don't remember her having any illnesses, so hopefully they're not all sicky cats.
She did have quite pink ears. Maybe they did get sunburn. Aw.
I don't think I'd want a white cat. General cat fur getting everywhere is bad enough but when it's white it's like a blanket.

Plus everyone will also think you have an evil henchman locked in the downstairs loo as well.
I'm not rich/poor enough to have a downstairs loo.
