Navigation
I learnt something last night, this is the kind of thing that happens if one listens to radio 4. Apparently if a current of 50 vaults or more is passed through a cat its tale points north. As you may be aware navigation in the jungle can be a tricky business, the sky is obscured by a thick canopy of leaves, the amount of trees and obstacles makes walking in a straight line an impossibility, rivers and mountains further hinder those off for a bit of a stroll and there are very few accurate maps. However, the jungle is home to a number of species of large cat so in the event of becoming separated from my compass I shall know that all I have to do is locate a jaguar / ocelot or some such, pass a current of 50 vaults through it, locate north and be on my way with a dib dib dib and a hey nonny nonny.

1. How do you attract the said cat? I call out "puss puss puss" from the back door. You could try this but no guarantees it would work in the jungle.
2. How do you get tiddles to stay still while applying 50 volts? A saucer of milk perhaps? Maybe laying down todays (unread) newspaper on the forest floor? Cats just love sitting on them!
I'll take a newspaper, good point.
