I have gotta take the kitten to the vets straight from work then sort tea then I am in work again at 7:30 tomorrow morning but I am *into this* and will try to do a little more tonight, between all the cat-mediation etc.
Would anyone be interested in a side-by-side gift guide to match the FT one with similar but waaaaayyy cheaper stuff? Like this tweet if so and I'll do it later.
