Sleeping with loose change

This week, Fran heard news from Ute (pictured below, far right), that her fellow kitten friend, Dixie, had swallowed a 5p piece - an act of frivolity and silliness that cost £500 in vet's bills to correct. Bolstered by much talk of the Hull School of Art and Design's enf-of-year exhibition last night, Fran woke us all up at 6.30am, to demand, not only food, but an audience for her own pontifications about kittens and coins. For all the gusto with which Gustav Klimt depicts the kitteny Danaë, being seduced by Zeus in a shower of golden coins (ouch!),



it is, decidely, far better to not be pelted by money that one might inadvertently swallow as one sleeps.
