It is a good job I love my cat

[FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010]

Without fail she will curl up in my spot on the sofa whenever I am not there, even if I am gone for seconds. I am very kind to scoop her up and move her to the other side so she doesn't think she has to leave the sofa. Blinking thing raised her paw to me and hissed at me!

Lovely

DS1 has cleared her a little path but I doubt very much she has been out. There were paw prints in the garden this morning but I suspect they might have been someone elses.

I had a long fight with mine while trying to change the sheets and blankets on DD's bed the other day. Every time I got a layer off the bed, she would hop on and settle down, and this continued while I put on the new sheets, clean blanket, etc.. When I moved her the first time she just hopped off, but as the operation went on she got more and more belligerent, hissing, scratching attempt -- she finally slunk off in a huff. Same cat really charmed a recent overnight visitor, oldest DD's college friend, by scratching endlessly at the bedroom door to be let in, then sleeping on the poor girl, with much affectionate purring and the usual prolonged settling down and nesting activities.

Fab-don´t you mean that you sometimes sit in the cats place?

Sorry Riven, but that made me chuckle!

Ours goes out and then is almost immediately frantically tapping on the door to come back in,and when you let her in, you´d think there was something after her the speed she shoots through the door!

Cheeky!

She really ought to know by now.

Took mine to have his teeth cleaned yesterday -. Didn't think to check price first £256. DH was furious

SnowballProofMum - you have done the impossible - reduced dh and ds1 to silence!

SnowballProofMum - Crikey!! im a vet nurse and that seems expensive! im guessing he had extensive dental work or bloods taken as well then?

ahhh dont you just love cats.

mine is loving us having the builders in and will paddle / swim in any buckets of water left around! - usually creating huge puddles in the process.

nope just scale and poolish with oen extraction. Bloods was a further £45!

I cancelled his insurance in spite (£25). He is banned from getting ill. We will also be finding a cheaper vet.

That's very expensive - both the scale and polish and the insurance. My two younger cats are about £8 each per month, my old boy was £30 a month, I cancelled it when the renewal came through at £50, but he's 18. One of the younger cats had to have a growth removed from his jaw and sent off for analysis and that was only £190. They did a scale and polish at the same time.

My cats are loving the snow - they pounce into it burying their paws deep. Well the two younger ones do. And they race around the garden doing silly leaps in the air, like they're playing with an imaginary cat.
