Mature hamster owner just arrived - well nipped

I would say sable banded too. They are all lovely. In the summer their 'pom poms' become even larger as they drop down in the warmth!!!! We call them Bananacles then

Hi to you from me...this thread makes for interesting reading

Cute pictures, thanks for sharing!

Talking of all things pompom and bananacles I wondered, using hamster sizes then multiplying them up what size would the human variant have to be. Those of you with a nervous disposition look away now.

Asbo measures 6 inches
His pompoms measure about 1 inch, possibly a bit more.
I am about 5 feet 6 inches
(the numbers are only approx to make the maths easier)
So we need to know how many lots of 6 inches there are in my 5 feet 6 inches.
There are, in fact, 11
So by simple multiplication of Asbo's pompoms by 11 we get the number 11.

Thus using hamsters as a comparison my accoutrements should be 11 inches in length!

Now I feel that my damsons are pretty inadequate compared to my hamsters. Yet another addition to the growing list of male insecurities.

On the plus side what would all men look like walking down the high street if this were true.....

Sorry Asbo does not have cream eye rings so he can't be a sable.

Does he have lighter hair at all around his eyes? I call them baked beans incidently
