Title: Contortionism - is it a Persian thing?
Post by: Mark on May 15, 2008, 09:51:48 AM
Seeing pics of Gillian's lot in the oddest places made me think it was just her cats. Yesterday, I was at Caroline's and one of hers was hunched up in a small shoe box  :Crazy: - She said she isn't allowed to put fruit in her fruitbowl as the cat sleeps in it  :evillaugh: - it's a high sided one. Is it possibly a Persian trait?  :evillaugh:

Definitely a Persian thing, they never cease to amaze (and entertain) me with their weird choices  :evillaugh:

Although it's generally the persian member of our household who's up to no good or sleeping in odd places, it's not exclusive...
