Actually Ming, all my cats are dangle-less Males....apart from 'Cat' , but she's a bit old and scabby. She is also a bit mad and has taken to sleeping in the bath. Aslan is the cuddly but wimpy lap-cat, Wallace ( as in William)is the King of the house (kind of like the cat version of Grant Mitchal) and Naboo is the little black runt....who is more commonly known as 'Lickle F****r'. Naboo is the one who keeps us awake all night chasing mice and dragging rabbits through the open window (usually still alive!). He keeps us up all night and then sleeps all day on our bed! 'Lickle F****r'.We tried shutting him out all night but he just scratches and meows at the window ,which is just as disturbing....so if you fancy a playmate for a few weeks,then let me know! We could do with a few good night's kip!! ;-p Watch out though, as I keep expecting to be woken up one night to find him trying to drag a stag through the window :-0

Yes you have correctly determined my identity I am Rob the burger eating entomologist, although I would like to point out that I do not eat entirely burgers. As my visit this year predated the arrival of the burger van I had to depend rather heavily on sausages. I have deceided not to use Collbirdyman's name for me as a beleive "Bug boy" makes me sound like the young sidekick of some camp villian form a 1960's episode of Batman. However as this would make Collbirdyman the camp villian it may have some merits.
As to my next visit I had planned to return after making some sort of attempt at obtaining some sort of life, but lets face that hasn't happened. There is a desire to escape the rampant commercial insanity that is Christmas on the mainland but unfortunately logistics prevent this, so it will have to be somewhen next year. As soon as I work out what I am doing I will be able to work out what I aren't doing and then I can plan my annual Hebridean pilgramige.

Witchinthewoods, life as a witch sounds surprisingly like life as a Christian - I had a very Father Ted moment imagining you standing at your back door shouting for your cats Naboo using the more common name you mentioned. ( for readers from abroad who are not familiar with the TV program, Father Ted was made in Ireland and is about the religious life of a group of Catholic Priests. It deals with every day religious turmoil, spirituality and the struggle with drink on a remote Irish Island. Its a bit like the TV program Songs Of Praise with a bit of a story and without the singing. I hope that helps.)
