Kate, I've never followed the development of a pure-white cat like this before... and frankly I'm *almost* keen on having a cat for the first time since I was 7 (a.k.a the year of enlightenment when I went from being a fan of cats to always wanting a dog).
I've never had a pet at all, which is rather unusual, but my parents have a lovely house and don't appreciate cats and their claws or dogs and their hairs

and since I have got my own place I've never had somewhere big enough for it to be fair to have a pet

- not yet anyway
