Hi James :smile:

I don't know exactly how big she is but I'd say her body can't be much longer than 30cm (excluding tail and head) - she looks too big too be a kitten and too small to be fully grown so she'll forever look like a teenage cat!

Well done for managing to stick to finishing the books before watching- I'm still on the second book and it's much less exciting when you already know the plot! That's pretty cool that Hodor does DJing, will have to check that out haha!

Cute! I had to Google World's Smallest Cat and I found this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH-A7370WrM haha. I have to admit, I'm struggling on book 4. Attention span fail haha.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

Wow that cat really is small! :tongue: makes Nancy seem pretty average in comparison- though part of the reason I thought she was smaller than average could be because my aunt has quite big cats and can't get over the difference when she visits. Yeah I always read something lighter alongside the Game of Thrones books for when my attention span runs out :biggrin:

Thanks, will do :smile:

Hey there guys.
My name's Matt Comerford-Dunbar.
I'm from the Wirral, just south of Liverpool.
I'm going to be studying, Drama & Theatre Studies.
So, the interesting thing finally- 3 facts about myself...
1. I love film, theatre, television, books, music, art, poetry and all forms of expression.
2. I believe everyone has the potential to be a genius in their own way.
3. There are about 5 billion different things that I could put here, but none of them seem significantly more important than any other, not to say that none of them are important, you can find out about them over the next three years if you're interested I suppose?
