So _that's_ where Stephen King gets his ideas from...

Tidying plates into the kitchen I realise that the cat hasn't had her last meal of the day.

I grab the box of food and rattle out ten grams onto the scales.  As they drop into the bowl there's the thunder of tiny feet a small black blur passes just under the visible part of my vision.

And I think "What if one day I did this and the blur turned out not to be the cat, but something else entirely..."

Then there would be a second blur of the cat chasing the Intruder From The Furthest Dimensions Of Time

The band Blur, shrunk down to the size of a set of rats.

I'm slightly disturbed by the fact that you measure out ten grams of catfood on scales.

The cat gets 40g a day, while she loses weight. If we give her 40g at once she gorges on it and throws up. Two lots of 20 she manages (mostly) but then whines constantly to be fed. 4 lots of 10g seems to keep her (mostly) quiet. And if I try to judge 10g then I tend to end up giving her 15 instead, which isn't good for her diet.
