I don't think anyone's begun a new thread yet?

Hope you don't mind Cozie. Smile Newboy's Fairy God(cat)mothers love hearing about his progress.

Well done! Smile

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 00:15

PS - has Ollie noticed 'strange smells' yet? Smile

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 00:18

Hard to tell. He's mostly asleep for 23hrs a day at the minute. The other hour is eating or putting a paw out the window and moaning at me to "turn DA SUN back on"

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 00:38

I contemplated he was ill but I think he's just hibernating for the winter now

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 00:42

He would move but frankly it's better under the blanket. God help me when his igloo arrives, he might emerge in April

Well done O, day to remember. Lucky little feral beauty, he really is. Ollie looks supremely comfortable. Me and Mr C are in bed with The Cold and a new packet of Dreamies.

I've gone deaf so the demolition is blissful too :)

How is N today? In LWT? Just checking :)

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 12:54

Wouldn't touch his breakfast. (Country Hunter.) I hung tough and have just given him A.N.Other to his normal routine,

He must be hungry. Wink

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 13:09

The igloo has arrived. It is being eyed with suspicion

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 13:10

Ignore him. Grin

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 15:51

He's ignoring the LWT today and is on a radiator bed.

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 16:14

Verdict "quite comfortable really. Well done hooman"

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 16:46

He had to 'find it' himself - and commandeer it. Grin

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 16:50

Luckily I had to go out Wink to the dentist so I left him alone. Came back and he was snoring away and drooling in it quite happily

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 17:39

There you go. Smile I didn't 'introduce' Newboy to any of his .......gear. He found them all by himself.

NewStartAgainReallyThisTime · 29/11/2017 19:19

@ollivander84 do you get an injection for the overgrooming? (We currently have an overgrooming problem...)

Lanaorana2 · 29/11/2017 19:37

O that looks waaaaay cozy and comfortable. Here it's brass monkeys (trans. for non-Londoners: a little chilly in the underwear area). Where is my igloo?

Slight friction too as, frozen to marrow after 1-second trip to shop, I peeled Mr C off Throw, stuck my legs selfishly beneath it, and replaced him on my calves as a heated lid. Dignity sorely affronted, he informs you.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/11/2017 19:51

Last night I moved asbo off the folded duvet to put it over myself. Fuming.

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 19:55

New - yep. He has a steroid jab, usually around every 6-8 weeks. I generally watch him and any signs of it (for him that's tufts of hair on the carpet, being sick or actually seeing him doing it) and we are straight to the vet! I prefer to watch and wait as sometimes he can go 9 weeks and sometimes it's 5

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 20:05

How long had it been this time?

Ollivander84 · 29/11/2017 20:10

It's been a while actually, I need to ask the vet Blush but I think maybe 8-9 weeks
Haven't noticed any the past few days so will give him a while before I cart him down there

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 21:28

He must have been hungry. Wink I'd put aside his (pretty tired) Country Hunter from this morning, prior to putting it out for the birds tomorrow. While dishing First Supper, I noticed that most of it has now been thieved.

Lanaorana2 · 29/11/2017 22:58

Darling little N, so full of spirit. And spontaneous snack of joy. :)

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 23:01

He did look guilty as sin when I called him for First Supper. Grin (As he should.) I thought he'd taken the (effective) loss of a meal pretty well too. Smile

Weedsnseeds1 · 29/11/2017 23:08

Just catching up here.
Olivander how did the job interview go? Any luck?
Cosie you seem to be getting there slowly. Great to see some photos showing the entire beast!
Dealing with a lik-e-liks induced, entitled, tanyrumy side to my boy that I haven't encountered before here. Wish I'd never introduced the things Hmm
