I agree, Chrise. Probably a poor clue and answer. Thanks, granama 1; I'll stick with your answer unless I think of something else.

i'm sure it is! i do hate imprecision in clues.

(cat on lap, hence lower case. in the guardain today there was a quote:
a dog gets on your lap because he likes you; a cat does because you're warmer

i can't believe my cat isn't warm enough today, though!)
