Not when Dad can't stand cats. . . not when they make his eyes water, his chest wheeze and his nose block. and certainly not fine when one day a social worker arrives at the front door to say that Mrs Scott has had an accident and there clutched in his hand is a cat basket containing the irrepressible Norman. as adenoidal Dad himself would say (and did), "Oh, dear be!"
