I like that, a cat who knows what he wants. 
Best wishes,

I liked it and I liked the cat, hope he gets everything he wants without having to do anything

Yeh, I think that's the problem. We upgraded to CS3 and from what I have trawled the internet about it, its a common problem and all the solutions I've found don't work. If I already have the pdf, open adobe reader first and then the doc - then its fine. But as the Marlo story is opened in the browser first it just shuts itself down.
Can you recommend any other pdf readers that I could download and then set as my default? Is Primopdf any good?

I think the latest version is Adobe Reader X .

Sorry to hear about that Spidergirl - technology is brilliant right up to the moment it isn't - if you want to see the characters outside of the book you can find them at www.marlothecat.co.uk
To Mongo, Tiffany and Tony - many thanks for your kind and encouraging comments

Love the website!
The cracker jokes are awful - which is just as it should be.

It is yes and I've got that, but Adobe CS3 does something funny with it I'm convinced! They've introduced a new sandbox security type thing but I don't think my puter likes it
Thanks Fortune, I'll check it out

I really like it, cats make for such excellent characters. I hope you find an agent soon.
