[...] you remember, readers, he also lost a hat I’d lovingly made for him on the train [...]

I think you should give up the hat idea – try mittens which you can attach to cord that can be threaded through his jacket. That way he won’t lose them. A winning idea for any age I always think!

Thug looks so cute in the hat, and you should totally knit Ben another hat, if only to get a couple more “cat in a hat” photos.

been awol due to starting a sock group on ravelry, last time i was here you’d accidentally made a cushion, so i had a lot of catching up to do, i must say i agree with craftycripple and arianwen, no hat for ben! and it looks sooo good on Thug. you can see Thug is truly appreciative and would never eat it like my sadie! and you are very bad, because I love how the socks turned out (been waiting to see) now i’m going to be spending more money on more sock yarn for more socks

I think you should leave Ben in Acrylic and make one for Thug- he is less likely to leave it on a train!

I can’t believe you are going to knit it for him again, I would have gone mental if someone lost my lovingly crafted knit just days after completion. You are much more generous knitter than I am. but then, you are probably a much faster knitter than I am so you are probably only twice as nice as I am rather than 4 times as nice, as I initially thought.

Even so, I think as the cat looks lovely in the hat, it should have gone feline-wards instead, as it probably would have been taken better care of!

OK, so I have to ask about this. You’re in England, right? Well, I’ve been reading a lot about this crazy snowstorm. But when I think of GB, I think “overcast,” “green,” “wet” … so I would have thought it would be quite snowy there when it’s cold. And also, in that movie “The Holiday” (I think) with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, it was very snowy in England. I am quite confused.

But, I don’t blame anyone for freaking out upon a huge snowstorm, as I live in New Mexico, USA, and we freak if there’s an inch or two. Imagine what happened a few years ago when we got a once-in-50-years snowstorm!
I think in these situations it’s perfectly OK to wear PJ bottoms and dress boots

And I hope you tortured your cat a little
