well this kilkenny forum doesn't seem too popular but maybe thats because of a lack of interesting topics rather than lack of cats. so how about a thread telling people about kilkenny!! (hey its 11am, best idea i could get at this hour!)


did you know that kilkenny gets its nickname from years ago when people used to tie 2 cats together by the tail, hang them over a washing line and bet on which cat would win!!*
