We had a cappuccino machine, I thought my wife kept cleaning the crispy dried milk off the steamer spout, she thought I was doing it. A year later, after coffee every morning, we found out the cat was licking it off when we were at work.

    I think if you have a cat, there’s just a point where you accept that you’ll be ingesting the odd hair or dribble or microscopic bits of poop.

        Yes, of course be cautious, especially if pregnant. But an indoor cat, even if infected when adopted, won’t be contagious after 2 weeks and won’t have a way to get reinfected. Outdoor, strays, and unknown cats are obviously not inherently safe.

        After both reading and watching Trainspotting, I can’t help but read that in scottish

          I’ve never read the book; what did you think of it? Did the film do a fair job of getting it across?

            The book is written in phonetic Scottish, so it’s not easy to read, but it absolutely nails the atmosphere, the rawness of the setting.

            The book is heavier. It has a very dark storyline that is omitted from the movie, and therefore feels more visceral. The movie is a bit more camp and jovial, but it is absolutely right, I can’t fault it, is perfect.

            It’s a rare case where both the book as the movie are brilliant, but each a whole different experience. I loved the sequel to the book more than the second movie, though, as it is in the same tone, the second movie is good, but not as edgy.

            So I would recommend reading it if you have the chance.

              Thank you very much for the thoughtful response. I haven’t been reading nearly enough lately, and am trying to get back into the swing of it.
