Green Cats

I thought about just making this post the words "Siobhan believed in green cats".  But I'll attempt to pad that idea out a little bit.  There were a few things that one or the other of us wouldn't understand about how the other understood the world.  And one of these things was the existence of green cats.  Siobhan would talk about a green cat, and I would chuckle, and then laugh, and ask to see a picture of a green cat.  

Obviously (unless you believe in them) she could never produce a picture of a green cat.  And Siobhan didn't agree with the use of Google to settle an argument.  As soon as I would reach for my phone, she would try to stop me, and I guess the old fashioned way of just not knowing things is quite nice sometimes.  But saying that, I am pretty sure I know that green cats don't exist.  I think that what she meant were tabby cats, which if you stare at them long enough, might have a very feint green tinge on some of their fur.  But I think you have to stare for a long time, and really think about the colour green.

There were lots of these types of things, just sort of low-level jokes that ran for years.  Surely she knew that there weren't green cats?  Or maybe there are, and I can't see them!
