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.

Start my support worker job on Monday Smile and just had an email that I've been shortlisted for a police job

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 23:15

Well done, Ollivander. Smile

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 23:17

Which Lick E Lix are you giving him, Weeds. (GrinGrinGrin)

cozietoesie · 29/11/2017 23:39

I better not recommend Nature's Menu Meaty Snacks then. (Newboy becomes almost emotional about them. GrinGrin)

cozietoesie · 30/11/2017 00:59

Which reminds me...........(Two bags in the cupboard downstairs.) Smile

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/11/2017 06:50

Well done Ol,good for you! I hope your replacement is rubbish at your old job.

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 08:54

Well done with the job olivander it must be a weight off your shoulders!
The lik-e-liks are the chicken ones. I bought him the yogurt ones when I first had him and he didn't like them. Only bought these as they were reduced, with the full expectation they would end up donated.
Wrong! He is obsessed! Spends his time staring at the snack corner, constantly re-entering the room chattering and trying to pretend he hasn't already had one.
The bowl is locked so hard it rattles and he then searches underneath incase some got missed.
If I pass the snack area for any reason and he doesn't get one he flounces, throws himself to the floor, shouts at me.
Discipline has gone out the window, it takes three or four times if asking to get him to sit for his treat now.
Nature's menu are liked, but don't get this reaction!

Ollivander84 · 30/11/2017 11:21

I was very lonely last night < sniffs >
Asleep in my bed all by myself. Someone abandoned me for his cosy new igloo

cozietoesie · 30/11/2017 11:34

Goodness. GrinGrin

cozietoesie · 30/11/2017 11:38

Have you tried the Webbox meaty sticks, Weeds? (They do a chicken version of those.) Newboy loves them - he only gets about third of a stick at a time, broken up.

Poor Ollivander.

Lanaorana2 · 30/11/2017 11:57

OH O I do mews of loneliness if Mr C won't come on. Massive congrats on the new job tho, what fine news.

Newsflash 1: one set of calendars has been posted. Who to, I have no idea :)

Newsflash 2: The second set is delayed. Bonusprint are struggling to manage, evidently :)

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 12:28

Yes he likes the cat salami sticks cosie , they are how I trained him to sit, but the lik-e-liks are in a different league!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 30/11/2017 12:36

Ollivander, I am so pleased for you. Good luck with the new job!

Ollivander84 · 30/11/2017 12:45

I'm all lonely Sad no cat on my lap Grin
Anyway off to go and traumatise the feral kittens some more and try not to get savaged. Black/white boy seems to be "no bite the hand that feeds me", very food orientated. Ginger girl reclines at the back of the crate gazing. She's either incredibly dim and pretty or plotting world domination

YetAnotherSpartacus · 30/11/2017 13:00

Paws might sit on your lap. Or Balls. Might remind Ollie of his obligations too.

Lanaorana2 · 30/11/2017 13:06

Yep, you can rely on darling Paws and Paws with Balls. So cold out, too.

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 14:15

Snow forecast Lana ....

Allergictoironing · 30/11/2017 16:21

Snow FORECAST? We actually had a short but heavy flurry in North Kent earlier today - MOST unexpected.

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 16:43

No snow here, but imaging poor Paws covered in a light sprinkle. Like a feline version of the little match girl...

Lanaorana2 · 30/11/2017 16:52

Must be terrible to be cold, hungry and unloved... with snow forecast Sad

Just a helpless scrap of fur alone and freezing in a cruel world Sad Sad

When other cats have heated pet tents Sad Sad Sad

And loving mums Sad Sad Sad Sad

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 16:59

Indeed, poor furry mites huddled in real igloos rather than igloo beds....

Ollivander84 · 30/11/2017 17:00

Hmm you're like the gaggle of witches off Hocus Pocus
However the window is open. And I have not yet been inundated with cats

Weedsnseeds1 · 30/11/2017 17:15

They're probably too cold and stiff to climb through Sad

Ollivander84 · 30/11/2017 17:17

Weeds Grin
Balls is banned on the grounds Ollie nearly went for him
Paws can come in any time but I haven't seen her in a few days

cozietoesie · 30/11/2017 17:59

Weeds. Grin
