Cats still catting away part 5

[Ollivander84]

New thread

The tin is 'nearly as old as she was'??

We are on our way to the tip

I will keep the tin....

Yes, please do. Just put it wrapped in a nice scarf or bag or something away in a drawer until you are ready.

Of course you will. Next puss will, of course, completely disregard it.

Next puss will have their own unique treasured items, equally as important :)

I gave away all of Seniorboy's (unopened) spare litter, food etc. There was quite a lot of it.

Two days later, the phone rang.................

We won't be having anymore cats - I am mega allergic to them (developed after I had the cats) and as we seem to be able to keep cats for over 20 years - DH will be nearly 80 when it pops its clogs... we are getting used to our freedom!

Also - she was the cat above all cats
My little love
My Petal

inaclearingstandsaboxer treasure her memory then. She sounds very special.

@cozietoesie oh yes, at least he's tidy!

That's good then. Now you just have to get him to eat more quietly!

Och inaclearing it's so hard isn't it. Spartacus is right- pop the tin away somewhere that you won't see it all the time but can take it out to look at when you want to.

We kept our Juno's collar and bowl in a little drawer in the kitchen, sometimes I look at them. The hard one is her christmas present. She was run over on christmas eve and this being our first year together with pets DP and I had got excited and wrapped up a little stocking of cat toys for each of the cats- pure silliness but it seemed like fun. Juno's present is still wrapped up at the bottom of a drawer and we don't know what to do with it

In happier news kitten Maisie was at the vets today and apparently flirted with everyone before climbing into the very newly graduated vet's handbag and stealing a tampon

she's re-booked in to get spayed once the full time vet gets back from sick leave (that's if we're allowed back after today!!)

When I took Newboy to the vets, there was a trainee with the actual vet. Seeing her shrunk against the wall, I invited her to stroke him - which she did albeit very gingerly.

Thinking about it, maybe the blood on my face didn't help.

Maisie should worry!

So Ernie has been over the fence the last two nights...when we are not looking. Hav been trying to catch him to see where he is disappearing but I'm sure he actually watches to see if we are watching..

Currently waiting for him to come back. Dreading the first night he doesn't come home. OH nearly came home from work on Sunday

In other news...I'm sure most of us have done something monumentely stupid they are WTF-ing for ages

Well I picked Ern up to kiss him and forgot until I tasted it that he had his de-wormer earlier...cue Googling Profender ingestion. Spent ages runing my tongue under the tap

I'm sure it won't make you ill! Might give you a good clear out though

Bisky is being fabulous.

He has piercing good looks but is a total blanket-sucking softie.

Is he completely black?

He is - had a lot of brownness (probably malnourished and discoloured) when we got him and his baby coat was full of lovely ghost stripes but he is now a slinky black number.

It's just - those ears. Made me wonder about his parentage.

What are you wondering about his parentage? His mum had fairly ordinary ears!

Do you know who his Dad was?

Another black cat, I'm told, but we have no proof!

He just looked a little Siamesey.

I wonder if he's part Burmese - very vocal and silky and muscular. Face just a teeny bit pointed too.

Temperament wise he follows me around like a shadow and walks a lot on his hind legs like a tiny human.

If only I could get him to stop weeing on any exposed smooth plastic, we'd be doing fine! (No actual medical issues causing same.)

Oooo please can I join?!

Yes, we welcome new recruits to the Dark Side.
