@Philippa We have had other cats adopt us since then but all those actually lived with different neighbours. They all preferred to spend their daytime with us or in our garden. Probably because we don't have young children or dogs around and they could always have a friendly chat with us or our friends.
I shall bow to Oscar lowering my hands to my knees, and from hereafter, will re-define my childish concept of West and East. I stand corrected Thanks @shiney for the uplifting cat story in a murky day. Speaking of boudaries, my colleague was facinated about the Arctic circle and how it is commercialised with painted lines here and there around the touristic spots in Finnish Lapland. I confirmed to him that you can actually hop across the Arctic Circle as demonstrated in the various photos in Google: Then he asked if there is a time difference. I told him that yes, there is, provided you hop very slowly. Upppp............................... and................ down.
I remember back to the days when the UK was governing the Gilbert and Ellice islands and the International Dateline divided the two islands. The islands are now Kiribati and Tuvalu and became independent in the 1970's. As the islanders were quite religious there was no drinking on Sundays. So the islanders that wanted to drink popped across the dateline to be there on another day.
