SPOILER ALERT
I am not convinced the 70% increase in cat litter sales during snowy weather is due to it being used to grit driveways (). As soon as there is the merest threat of snow, my otherwise perfectly house-trained cats started to use the fire grate, the bath and the cupboard under the stairs as indoor toilets. Even when (in desperation) I locked them out the house, they hung on until I let them back in. The snow, at least in my house, has led to a 100% increase in cat litter purchases but none of it is on the path.

Basil wants to know what a kitten heel is (Wednesday letters). .
Liam, Chesterfield, UK
A kitten heel is best described as a baby stiletto: deadly skinny, but only an inch or two tall. They're most useful to three types of women:
- teenagers learning to walk in heels;
- professional women whose bosses think Manolo spikes are excessively sexy and comfy courts aren't sexy enough;
- and Tom Cruise's girlfriends...
The Guardian's eco-living correspondent apparently thinks people who can't afford wood can afford a briquette press (Wednesday's Paper Monitor). Eco-friendly? OK. Logical? Not so much.

Kitten heels. Another name for Puss in Boots perhaps?

Re the mini-quiz on the e-book most popular with illegal downloaders. Is it illegal to download the Kama Sutra as its copyright must have expired by now?
