The TV? Like on Poltergeist?

He loves being around our 4yo son. He won't leave his side when the little lad is poorly.

I was picking a knot out of his fur a few days a go and he swiped my hand, I could hear my skin tear. Horrid noise. He missed a vein by a fraction of a mm.

Well, I'm none the wiser about what TV to get. I may just buy a huge cat instead.

Cats are catocosmic. TV brings this chaotic world home whereas cats carry one peaceful world inside them. Much better investment when you add the affection and calmness they spread around you. Your TV will never be capable of giving all that, ever.

What a regal looking cat! I now believe that it has become quite big, but still not as big as an elephant- as per your usual exaggeration.

However, what's its name? Is it a boy or a girl?

He's a boy called Ludo.

So basically it's now decided Taylor should invest his £500 here...

Your both cats are lovely, Matt! Re. TVs, why do you need to buy a new one every two years? Do you break them, or just like to upgrade to experience improved technology?

First two I bought was to improve gaming response and the latest is for the 4K experience really.

I wanted a 4K last year but they were big money and none were suitable for gaming, fortunately Samsung realise the XBOX and PS4 can help their sales.

The Samsung 7500 was out of stock so I've opted for the slightly better JS8500. Spent all last night watching 4K demos on youtube last night.

I know.

But I think your bother's cat that you've been babysitting acts a bit awkward because you must call him A ugly cat as well. To be honest with you, I don't think he gives a damn about being called ugly as such, because I'm sure he thinks the same about you. I think he might be cross with you because you can't speak English well.

Good TV, not great for gaming on but other than that seems to tick all the boxes.

Any reason why we shouldn't buy through this site?
