Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award.

As "clothes" seem to be popular as a subject in "Odd Questions" edition of WRQ, I might included another "clothes" question in a future "Odd Questions" edition, which would, no doubt, be more popular than a pesky Morse Code question

Morse code? Hate that more than physics.

Not sure about crooked @pgn but we definitely own strange cats - one doesn't meow as much as squeak. The other one is happy to see anyone that isn't me or my wife - you know, the people that feed him! If we try and stroke him he will arch his back to avoid it and wriggle away...

[TheresaV]

Sounds like some lovely companions that you are having there @gmarkj  I used to have a cat who sat on her cat tree and hit me when I walked by
