I have taken the liberty of making a new thread! Maisie and Freya are relaxing in a patch of sun

CandleCat1 was lying on the fence a little while ago, but is nowhere in sight now. CandleCat2 is always out on the ran-dan somewhere, unless the weather is really foul. He is beginning to be very stiff and quite thin again, but is due back at the vet for more bloods next month to check his thyroid. He is being sick again, but mostly outside so I can't get at him to chuck another tiny antacid down his gullet. He thinks there are far too many pills already, what with taking one every other day. CandleCat1 never does anything, which is why I think he doesn't have the same health problems as his brother.

Anyone want my spare Feliway? Doesn't suit my two and I have one ordinary plug, a friends plug and spray.

Going to waste here and happy to gift upon a deserving cat owner. Drop me a PM.

Also, sleepy cats:

Silly me - was trying a harness on Drosscat at 5pm yesterday (bought a tracker but it's huge for a collar) and locked the cat flap to incoming only ConfusedHe was patting my face at 5am asking to go out the poor boy! He's looking rather handsome this morning.

Anyone used a tracker?

We tried one on BogCat but it wasn't terribly successful. Worked only approximately within the range of the garden so it'd tell me he was out the front of the neighbours house when he was asleep in the kids bedrooms. Since I really wanted a tracker to warn me if he escaped out the front this was a bit counter productive!

Then he lost the blimming thing after a fortnight. I'd like one that worked rather better - open to suggestions!

Fern is having her morning rest and allowing me to share her sofa.

Holly has disappeared upstairs - no doubt for some windowsill sunbathing.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 23/05/2017 09:49

Holly has now returned & clearly wants to tell me something! Fern is ignoring her.

Ivy cat is in the dog house. She's taken three baby birds out of their nest and just left them on the floor. She's batted one round the garden, and they've all died now. ☹️

I couldn't find the nest and the mummy bird was sat on the fence squawking.

I feel so sad for her, that poor mummy bird she must be distraught.

Dave is hiding in the grass mini panther style.

I'm working late this evening and miss the wee furballs. Even if one of them did lick my ear at some point in the middle of the night...

I wonder how @Ollivander84 is getting on?

I have the hammock out in the sunlit evening ... periodically interrupted by 5kg of BogCat leaping upwards to attack me from underneath Angry

Oldraver · 23/05/2017 20:17

Ernie was not best pleased we have been playing about with the new pebble pool as he liked to lick the water off the stone. He was very bemused when we put the fountain attachment on

Lanaorana2 · 23/05/2017 20:46

Painfully sweet, Ernie.

Mr C has been vetted, is snoring on me now. Big drama when I panicked about his weight loss and it took 2 staff to weigh him.

He's, er, lost 50 grammes. Grin

He is in really fine nick for his age, apparently, which is great news but they don't want to do another big dental until his fangs get a bit worse due to his age. He's not in pain, definitely, which is also a relief.

We are on the sofa having a love-in due to imminent op. Tried and failed to have one day off from charity - needless to say the place was a fiasco due to sudden understaffing and I had to bowl in and sort out the (paid) staff. Twice.

Naturally, as I was weaving out of Waitrose mainlining free coffee with furrowed brow, sweaty and in a knackered old shirt that I strongly suspect was someone else's maternity wear, who do I bump into but my ex who I have avoided for 5 years. He has lost weight and was looking gym-ed up in a pin sharp suit. He said 'you look exactly the same'.

Fluffycloudland77 · 23/05/2017 21:10

Git. Exes should always have the decency to disappear into the ether.

Lanaorana2 · 23/05/2017 21:16

Fluffy I know. Still, at least I wasn't buying value lager in my nightdress like last time :)

There is a really good reason for that, bloody Nigella.

Ski37 · 23/05/2017 21:28

Elvis sulking. I let him out for the for the first after 2 days after worrying he might have urethral obstruction- he didn't . He 'gifted' me with a dead sparrow- the first bird he's ever killed. his look of confusion when I didn't gray it with open arms was a picture! I feel incredibly guilty that he's caught a bird but I guess that's what cats do...😬

cozietoesie · 23/05/2017 21:32

Good luck for the op, anyway. And stuff the ex. Smile

TheCatOfAthenry · 23/05/2017 21:55

@Ski37 poor, poor Elvis! How would you feel if someone threw out your post-call KFC???!!!

Lanaorana2 · 23/05/2017 22:18

Thanks a million. Cleaning frenziedly to impress Mr C's retinue of staff. :) Reduced sandwiches in fridge for pre-op sustenance :)

Ollivander84 · 23/05/2017 22:39

I'm here Grin stitches out today so Ollie took the liberty of lying on me looking pitiful

TheCatOfAthenry- I'd be decidedly pissed off!!! 😹

iloveeverykindofcat · 24/05/2017 06:58

The girls are engaged in a cold war with a new kitten in the neighborhood. Zara is afraid of it, even though it is half her size and friendly. I'm slightly embarrassed on her behalf.

Papergirl1968 · 24/05/2017 07:59

Dcat has started the day by eating grass and promptly throwing up. He started heaving in the kitchen and I managed to push him out where he upchucked on the outside doormat. On reflection the kitchen floor would have been easier to clean..
