This is a little shout-out to Max the meow (whose human parents are Ms Ewah and husband) who was adventuring around the house on Sunday and had an unfortunate incident with a packet of laundry detergent. Despite some rather mournful meowing and protests at being given two painful injections by the vet, Maxie is thankfully now on her way to a full recovery. 
These photos are not of Max but of a very friendly cat I came across in Bordeaux.
p.s. Max the meow is actually a girl cat (despite her name). When we picked her up (read: rescued) from her former home, the lady assured us she was a boy cat. Errr... and then Ms Ewah went to the vet- and found out that Max was actually a girl, not a boy! Maxie, the tranny cat.
