And by the way, about taking shower with pets, I don't, but if it was up to my cat, she would rather love that. She's a Turkish Van, and they adore water cat.gif

So a newborn can be born in London and be flown to NY, and actually be alive before the time of it's own birth....... unsure.gif

Ok, I just confused myself. tongue.gif

It means that you can't fold it more than 7 times in half. I have tried it and only got to 7 so i guess it is true.
