for god sake listen to your kids and bring the cat along.

all my ozzie cats have lived 15 plus years (no exceptions)

jeez I will even chip in 10 bucks if it will help.

otherwise just consider that 30 years from now your children will still be saying "its a pity the cat couldnt come"

PS recent scientific studies show that the bird kill of domestic cats is largley a politically correct wank

So that's made my mind up. If in doubt, speak to someone who knows.

This has happened on many occasions in Adelaide.
