my daughter loved tearing the thin pages out of Yellow Pages phone books and consuming them. I'm not sure what's better...these things or cat nuts

your daughter consumed the cats nuts???????????????????????

I'm guessing (hoping) this phrase has some alternate meaning that I don't know about .........

Sorry, had missed this post...actually, it was my eldest son !

In Year Four (when he was about eight years old for those you outside of Queensland!), he had to write a short story based on a pet he'd once had. He chose a black cat, called Sarsy (short for Sarsaparilla), that he'd had the responsibility of feeding when he was about four or five.

During the retelling, he revealed in detail how he would sneak out behind our meathouse every afternoon and nibble on some of the cat nuts, and also described my own dismay at how quickly the cat seemed to go through them (because, of course, I never knew he was supplementing his diet with them!).

He thought it was a wonderful joke that he'd bested me for so long...I, on the other hand, thought the joke was pretty much on him really !

Oh, with hardcover books I sometimes use the flap of the dust jacket to keep my page.

What a nifty idea! I can't believe I've never thought to do that simple a thing !!!
