Scary moments with your cats...

As a balance to Chockbic's "nice moments with your cats".

Lounging in bed this morning, DH still asleep. Sinister MCat just staring like he wanted to kill us. He did that for half an hour. Constant staring.

Creepy cat. (I do luffs the sinister bastard though)

I was rudely awakened one night by one of my cats going into the wardrobe to retrieve his starling which he'd hobbled by breaking its wings and then hid it among my clothes until he was ready to finish it off. Bastard.
And I've stepped on mouse heads by my bedside before. As soon as they've gone crunch under my foot I knew what they were. :(

No, she's not a Devon Rex , just a rescue moggy of uncertain parentage and foul temper. She's not one for rodents, preferring feathered prey. She did try and fit a whole pidgeon through the cat flap once but gave up and disembowelled it on the doormat instead.
The only time she really scared me was jumping off the top of my wardrobe in the middle of the night onto my chest. Ouch.

Before we moved, MCat managed to get a live partridge through the cat flap. Woke up to it running around the bedroom. Alarming.

We used to find a lot of live mice in pockets/shoes.

Now he's, a townie, so he doesn't have so much choice of things to murder/scare to death.

Poor MCat.

No prizes for us yet, thank goodness.

Apart from a still buzzy and mad wasp.

Lordy dordy, thank christ he didn't get stung. In the summer I always got scared when MK went after bees or wasps.

We got a live frog once. D'you know they scream when they feel threatened.

I know I was worried about that. You don't want to rile a wasp. Or bee.

Heard that about frogs before. Saw one crossing the lane. Well leaping the lane.

I'm imagining a giant frog, leaping over your lane on the zebra crossing. And screaming at you, with road rage.

One time I went fishing in spring, and walking back, there were frogs bloody everywhere. What should have been a half hour stomp home, took over an hour, to make sure no frogs were flattened.

I don't like it. Sounds as if someone's letting the air out of him.

Like amphibian bagpipes?

Sorry, am laid up in bed at the moment, so finding ways to amuse myself.

I was thinking more of a whoopee cushion.

Splurt, splat. Or splat, splurt.

Do you still have shingles?

Not quite sure what it is, so off for some tests. On Friday 13th. Hmm

Bless you for asking Smile

Screaming Frogs. Good name for a band. One could play itself like bagpipes, another could make whoopee cushion noises. The other one could scream into the microphone.

Would they let a toad join? A little one.

I've got a CT scan on Tuesday. Ought to be CAT, really.

RubbishMantra · 07/03/2015 18:36

No toads. They have a sense of entitlement (think Toad of Toad Hall). Can they even scream? If not, what would they bring to the outfit?

Oh Chock, I hope the CT scan isn't too traumatising. Sending some healing thoughts.

Just watched some more screaming frog videos. MKitten heard it, came running up the stairs and ran around the laptop to see if any frogs were hiding. Then he ran downstairs and gave the shag-bag a good old seeing to. Frog Porn.

I should get him a Kermit toy.

Well I know of a brilliant bass player toad. I bet MKitten would be interested Grin

Good luck for your tests.

I suppose the toad could do a sort of dancing, shaking maracas thing. Along with his brilliant bass playing.

Like a more talented yet warty version of Bez from the Happy Mondays.

Warty Bez and The Frog Chorus.

They'll go far.

PS: I'm not sleeping either Confused

Ah, the not sleeping is a bit shit isn't it.

I've still got the image of a giant frog leaping over the road whilst shaking his fist at you and screaming angrily. I have a vivid and starange colourful imagination. Confused

Bless you Chock. Hope your tests give you some answers..

Got me own tests in a couple of days.

Thinking of an entitled frog screaming into a microphone, bit like Johny Lydon, with warty Bez shaking his maracas is making me happy. I am a bit peculiar though

Amphibians in the UK?

Hand to hold or bit of cake. Whichever you prefer.
