Thanks so much for reviewing! I totally did not even THINK of the connection you made between the Cats not being one thing or another and tying that into Asim and Peter. When I read your review I saw with my mouth hanging open and a really stupid expression on my face because that is completely present in the story and I never intended it.
I would be LOST, lost I tell you, without reviews and FB.
BWAHAHA LOVE. I figured there must be some theme being expounded upon in each section and its character focus, so I just assumed that was what was going on with the Cheetahs. So glad I can enlighten you on the deeper meanings of this story you coincidentally happen to be writing! :P

I am happy the workload has been light today so I could steal about two hours to read and comment on this latest chapter.
The Cat Window is interesting... not quite what I pictured either but it's definitely an unusual piece. If I ever go to Oxford, I should make a point and see it in person!
Yeah, I had assumed stained glass -- which is not rational since the history said it was masons who did the work and it isn't a church. Duh. LARM was going on about how it looked medieval but wasn't. I really wish I could see the the rest of it. But, the site where I found the picture is a blog from the Oxford Museum, which also has this: http://dodology.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/inordinate-fondness/
When I wrote all that stuff at the museum, I was merely following floorplans and descriptions from the Museum's website and extrapolating back to what these places might have been like 60 years ago based upon my time in the Smithsonian, the Field, and AMNH. But, I did not know if there was actually a case of beetles on the first floor with the names of the people who found them -- that's just how these collections often got started. So, it is really cool to see these things and know I'm not too far off the mark.
The shoulder flash was designed by Daphne du Maurier, who was married to the commander of the 1st Airborne Division General Frederick Browning. The patch has a maroon background and that became the color of the beret the paras starting wearing in the summer of 1942. I think lots of paras use those symbols other than the British forces.
