Take a Cat Who... Poll!
The rules: each question will be left up for a month, and a new query will be posted the second Sunday of every month. To respond, e-mail me with "POLL" as the subject. Responses will be posted on this page as they are received. (You can respond to "archived" polls, if you wish to and haven't already done so - just make sure to clarify which one you're answering in your e-mail.)
This month's poll:
| What did you think of The Cat Who Brought down the House? |

With the war and upset in the world, I found "Brought down the House" to be just like going back home after a long time and wandering around with old friends. Nothing flashy, but homey and soothing. Interesting enough, after the obligatory intro. for newbies, to keep me reading and wishing there were more.

LJB could have phoned this one in; I read it purely out of habit. All I remember about it is that it was awful. Couldn't even tell you what the cats did.
