Four cat bowls for 50 pence....

[cozietoesie]

....at the charity shop this morning. Ex fruit/cereal bowls from a couple of sets that people were flinging the remnants of, I guess, but all dishwasher proof etc - if you use one. They're two different patterns and not the same pattern as the rest of the stack but the same basic shape. I really don't think that Seniorboy gives two hoots about the patterns anyway.

Well done. There seem/ed to be a lot of people who like 'sets' of china and leftovers are relegated en masse to charity shops during clearing. No point in spending ££££ on new stuff with paw prints or CAT on them unless you have DC who want to celebrate a new arrival. And loads of spares means you always have a fresh receptacle when dishing the nosh.

My friend who is a very recent convert to cat slavery was feeding his girls lik e lix off his best dinner service. I was gobsmacked!!!

How funny

It looks as if they're given Lick e Lix quite a lot as well. That girl on the left is - what my forebears would have described as - a 'fine figure of a woman'.

Sssssh, the camera adds 10lbs

Hopefully you guys will
a) see this
b) like it

cats

That's the funniest thing I've seen in ages!!!

Cozie, they don't get them often. They got the ones my girls wouldn't touch! They aren't that fat in real life. But are a little over weight. He's got them on a diet but his secretary thinks he's starving them. He's going away for two weeks and is going to come back to two fat cats!!

Seniorboy has one for his 'pudding' every evening - spread out with a fork on the bottom of a shallow bowl. They're all disgusting but his current favourite - the turquoise 'with liver' or something - is particularly noisome. I normally try a very little of anything he has to ingest but I draw the line at Lick e Lix.

Lady Megan Beryl likes the steel bowls from Home Bargains, 67p. She did used to get stuck to them by hey cat flap magnet, but she now has a posh microchipp cat flap.

The overloads adore lik e lix but neither of them would go anywhere near the Millk cream ones. Took a good ten minutes for the liver ones to be looked at them one of them her own and then her sisters. Usually the salmon and chicken ones are inhaled in seconds. Off paper plates as I hate washing their bowls with that yuk on it.

Our post Lick e Lix bowls are polished clean.

When Ernie first came upstairs at night I grabbed a dish off my display for him.

It was a lovely Limoges square dish

All the china in my house is mismatched anyway - although there's some vague colour theming. (It's mostly antique or vintage blue and white for the humans.) The cats have whatever bowl is handiest.

They don't seem to care one jot.
