My grandparents had a 'long drop'. I remember going out to it one day and hearing this meow from the bottom(luckily before I used it).
Grandad got a torch and there at the bottom were these two glowing eyes. He came back with a long brush, lowered it down, the cat climbed on and up he came. As soon as he reached the top he flew off, showering us with unpleasantness!
I still remember it was a sort of ginger, although that may not have been its natural colour.

I wonder what would happen to a cat which fell in a 'tippler' which then tipped? They say cats can find their way home but there's a limit.

I remember the old Observer had a nice texture, similar to Izal but thicker and safer to use.
