Hi Goblin, I'm new here and so was just looking around. I knew some of your terms. We are of strong scottish decent and have gone to some really good Scottish festivals. I have two cats, Belhaven and MkEwan, got them right after a big festival in Dallas, named them after 2 of my favorite ales. I cook, and would love any good recieps you might have.

Did you say one of your cats is called McEwan? I bet you it's an arrogant little feline, clawing everyone being nice and petting him/her! LOL
MkEwan is a big baby, he's really my husband's soulcat, they have a real conection. Hi's a big, long haired gray-blue cat. He gets into trouble a lot. He's been shot in the ass, broken a tooth jumping out of a dumpster, can open our screens on our windows and his vet bills are killing us, so he doesn't go outside much anymore. Is that enough explanation? Sorry, if I went on.
