I looked at those decorations and thought "I've got a set just like that, I wonder......" I think they might have been from Lakeland.
Mentioning Shaka & the smoked salmon reminded me of my mother - I think you met her a couple of times. If there was smoked salmon at Christmas humans were served first but there was a plate for cats, on the table, ready for them. My mother would be furtively (in the way that a cat can be furtive, that is to say totally obvious) feeding them her smoked salmon under the table. I did try saying that if she had too much she could just add it to the cats plate....... In the end I decided she thought she was Grannie to the cats and so was allowed to undermine me! But probably my only cat rule is no scrounging at table while the humans are eating. Oh well....
