Ours got herself stranded on the back wall today (it's quite high). She got up ok, mooched up and down then faffed about trying to get down, refusing to jump onto the fence but jumped onto the low wall next door.
I think it was her first venture along there in a while. Poor old girl.

I may try an auto feeder. I was pounced at 530 this morning. Told her to settle down and go to sleep or get out. She curled up near my knees. I fed her at 7. Much more reasonable.

Right now she's doing this. She's had a tough day pouncing the ladybirds on the windows.

Clocks go forward soon. 6:30 is ok.

The key is not feeding them, Dh was awful for getting to feed ours.

ememem84 · 13/03/2017 21:10

Yep 630 is fine. I'd usually be up at that time on a work day. I'm trying to teach her about weekends....and lie ins. But so far she doesn't care.

Vinorosso74 · 13/03/2017 21:19

And after all the exertions a huge puke full of grass.....

HemanOrSheRa · 13/03/2017 21:21

I haven't had a good nights sleep since 1993 when I got my first (and only) kitten Grin. Cat flaps, windows make no difference. I'm clearly doing it wrong. Or am I doing it right as a well trained cat slave?

NoviceGardener101 · 13/03/2017 21:22

Hmm being a pillow

Don't worry she isn't in the slightest bit bothered and is fast asleep!

hollinhurst84 · 13/03/2017 21:34

Currently I'm being whined at
"But I am vampire cat, look at my fangs, why can't I go play with the traffic in the dark?" Hmm

Kiroro · 13/03/2017 21:56

@NoviceGardener101 fab pillow!

That's a wonderful photo. Smile

Sitting on the amp listening to Slade

Hehe! Who are we talking about Novice Grin. Lovely photo Smile.

ElizaDontlittle · 13/03/2017 22:56

em and Novice Grin Grin
Gorgeous!

Closing the door and earplugs seem to be successful enough for the whole sleep thing. The door bears a few scratchy scars... but I need my sleep on work nights especially.

ememem84 · 14/03/2017 06:53

she came in at 630. Which is ok. I've had a chat with her and have explained "early" and "acceptable"

I've told her I haven't and won't ever forget to feed her.

And have suggested she learn to make tea. A 5am wake up would be much better if she at least put the kettle on wishful thinking

Cauliflower cat!

Beautiful photograph of baby snuggled up to your cat Gardener. Treasure that one for future memories.

Mon petit chou!

Certified only a bit overweight so we are both pleased with ourselves. Spent most of day in bed Netflixin' and watchin' pigeons.

Is that blanket cashmere?

RubbishMantra · 15/03/2017 00:56

I doubt Little Lord Mr.C would accept anything less than cashmere. He has standards. Grin

I'm shielding the screen so my two don't get any ideas about hassling me for cashmere blankets for themselves.

hollinhurst84 · 15/03/2017 07:43

Ollie has a personalised blanket BlushBlush he loves it

Fluffycloudland77 · 15/03/2017 08:20

Ours didn't come in till 01:20 last night. Then he managed to break out of his locked cat flap overnight.

Now he's asleep & we're both shattered.

I think he's annoyed his scratch post broke.

PeaceOfWildThings · 15/03/2017 08:30

PeaceCat decided 4am was the perfect tome for a game of fetch. She was very insistent, and when that wasn't happening, she played No Claws Barred footsie, and was promptly put outside my bedroom door, where she sat and grumbled until I got up.

She's now helping me with crochet.

Catface pushed the bedroom door open at 430 this morning and did the worlds biggest loudest meow. I woke up and she was sat next to my head.

Told her I wasn't feeding her until at least 7 and she should just settle down somewhere and wait nicely.

She curled up on my feet.

LanaorAna1 · 15/03/2017 11:10

Fluffy and M but of course, pure Scottish cashmere. Perish the thought my little prince might snag a claw on lambswool.

I make do with Primark pillows, while Captain Cute has a duckdown cushion for his arthritic hip.

Fluffy bad luck with the catflap and the small-hours petcare scenario. Just as you stagger bleakly through the day, eyes like sandpaper, whole being drenched with cosmic depression, ASBO will find a sun-filled spot to snore in, within your full view. And wake up refreshed for tonight.

TheresHensInTheSkirting · 15/03/2017 11:17

My fatso is very much enjoying his first day this spring with the patio door open for his pleasure. He's been in and out all morning.
Little cat has curled up on the sofa with the dog. One of them is quietly snoring Smile
