Comments on: Inquisitor #12/Phi – Cousin R.I.P. http://www.fifteensquared.net/2007/03/30/inquisitor-12phi-cousin/ Never knowingly undersolved.

All our cats are strays in one way or another. About ten years ago we began being visited by a little tabby-and-white who was always accompanied by a brindle kitten who fled whenever we came near, and was promptly called her ‘Terrified Cousin’. When (after three weeks we finally got between her and the door) she decided that staying in was better (she promptly didn’t go out for three weeks), the name stuck. She came with us to NZ, but succumbed to cardiomyopathy just before Christmas.

Two kittens (Dot and Dash) have replaced her. No, nothing to do with Morse code…

But I’m paying for it in spades – No. 13 seems to be the hardest so far.

Later addition: 33A AORTA: “Limit to amusement” = “A or T”, a in “supplied by a” = A. 4D MEETNESS = rev. of SENT = enraptured in SEEM = look. 29D BUCHU: endless shouting = HU(e) as in ‘hue and cry’.
