The only connections with the real life in this dream is my bed's position next to the window and I do have a ghost of a cat.

I was in bed, lying on my side, almost falling asleep. I felt a cat hopping on the bed and settling by my feet and I happily thought: that's the ghost settling. Then I felt the second cat curling up against my back. Nice feeling but two cats all of a sudden? Then I felt the third small body leaning against my shoulder blades, letting out a screeching sigh and reached a very short hand on my shoulder. It really freaked me out, I awoke and tried to move but couldn't. Alright then, I returned into the dream to sort it out. I reached over my shoulder and grabbed that little hand. It was a raccoon. Below it were also two very fluffy gray cats, I believe nebelungs or angoras. The cats were merely annoyed by the movement and stayed in place while I hurled the raccoon out of the bed and got on my feet. The raccoon hissed and tried to hide under the sofa but I dragged it out and pushed out of the door. I went back to bed, little bugger climbed up the downstairs neighbour's conservatory and tried to jostle open the window, I had to lock it. I went downstairs and talked to the neighbours outside, one of them apologised for his cats breaking into my room but everyone's was pissed about that pushy raccoon. Apparently my downstairs neighbour has two Alsatians and a timid cat, the next door couple has a rabbit.

So many animals...

I have not owned or worn sweatpants for three decades but everything else applies to me. Am I unknowingly a goblin?

Those cats on the street are not meowing, they are yowling. That's a holler to intimidate or to fight, over a territory or hot ladies. That's not a meow for a human to fill the food bowl or give scritches or something else tame and domestic.

I for one am very happy to have a daily Kitty in my feed. Please don't stop

You guys make dutch babies in US, don't you? Similar thing, only Yorkshire pudding batter doesn't have sugar in it.

Originally Yorkshire pudding was cooked in one big tray under the spit roast to catch all the drippings and served before the main meal so you'd fill up with bread and eat less meat. Nowadays it's usually individual puddings, cooked on a special tray with wide shallow holes or on a regular muffin tray. You want the tray piping hot before pouring in the batter so get the oiled tray in the oven warming up at least 15 minutes before. Use caution, don't burn yourself. You can use oil or animal fat of your choice. 350-390°F, if I converted right. (180-200°C). When you fill the divets, the batter should sizzle and when returned to the oven, should start rising high from the edges. Try not to open the oven at least 15 min in the beginning as it can sink the yorkies. Check after 25 min or so, the yorkies should look like golden cups, the hole Iin the middle set and yellow, the edges and the bottom browned. Depending on the temperature and the oven, it can take up to 45 min.

As for the batter, ignore all the recipes and follow a simple formula: even amounts of egg, milk and flour, pinch of salt. Roughly half an egg per nase so mix with 2 eggs should serve 4. Measure with a small cup or a measuring cup and tip it all in the bowl. Two schools about it: mix just lumps out or beat the hell out of it. I go to town with a stick blender until the mix is frothy.

Serve it with something with a lot of gravy. Roasted joint (beef, ham, chicken) and veggies is the most common way. Also good for snacking, rip pieces and dip in gravy, delish!

Sorry, got a bit carried away but I've cooked yorkies for living for over a decade now so...

Cats are liquid. You think you put an orange ON a cat, but it ends up IN a cat. Just the state of matter

Doc Martens got sold and moved the production to Asia. The dip in quality is very noticeable.

The people who used to produce Doc Martens now work for the company called Solovair. I haven't tried their stuff butt apparently they're as good as Doc Martens used to be.
