The adventures of Newerboy

[Lanaorana2]

I've got a Siamese cat. He was abandoned by his owner and is living in state - three nests made by neighbours - in our garden. He is absolutely beautiful, aged 11, and a white/cream colour, brown eyes I think. So far we have blinked at each other, me flat on face behind bush in garden.

The lady who feeds him is going away for 6 weeks. She is in a royal state of anxiety so I stepped in. Have been trained to do the feeding, leg massage, etc.

His history is shameful. He has been coming to us for food for ages, finally taken to Battersea, where his so-called owner collected him in 90 minutes. Then left him to starve. So you see I can't not.

Any words of wisdom? I need them.

Antique teaspoons are not to br

Antique teaspoons are not to be sneezed at. They were antique?

No cosie just a random packet of teaspoons from the local garden centre!

Oh.

Well they always come in handy.

You're right fluffy and teaspoons are an item of cutlery that always seems to disappear in this house.
The bow thing stuck on the bag suggests I was lucky to get anything, but luckily there was an unopened pack of spoons kicking around the house, but no wrapping paper!
Never mind, I'm certainly not as angst ridden about it as some of the AIBU posters seem to be about their presents.
I had cold roast potatoes, stuffing balls and a walnut whip for breakfast, with tea in my new Christmas mug, with my favourite photo of the fluffy beast on it, so all is well in my world
Hope everyone ( both cats and slaves) had a good day, especially those that had to work.

Weeds that sounds the ideal nutritional mix to set you up for the day.

I had 1 of my 5 a day ie a Lindor orange.

You're DBro's kind of gal. (He counts mince pies as 'fruit' on the grounds that their contents were once grapes. )

Ollie has discovered a massive present bag lay on its side. He keeps clambering in it then zooming back out. Best Christmas EVER apparently

I've lived on coffee, alcohol & stodge for a week. I no longer need the drawstring on my jammies.

One of the families I go to always offers me a drink and a bun. I said yes as had time and said how nice her baking was. She sent me home with a tin full
They're like soft crumbly shortbread with homemade raspberry jam in

Technically he's right cosie 30g of dried fruit counts towards your 5 a day ( not sure how the ton of sugar in it stacks up health wise)!
Lana all that vitamin C in your Kindle, you must feel so virtuous
I've just polished off the remains of the truffle butter popcorn I made to go with the starter yesterday.
I wonder if cats like truffles? Pigs do. Truffle garnished Lik-e-liks maybe?
Will report back if the lazy so and so ever heaves his carcass out of bed.

Sound like some sort of rock cake variant olivander, good to hear they appreciate you

Lindor not bloody Kindle! I haven't even started drinking yet today!

Hush, Weeds. (I'm still working on his belief that 5 grapes means he's done his 5! )

Best. Christmas. Ever!

It does not surprise me to hear that Dbro is a cosmopolitan epicure. Our tastes are uncannily alike :)

Has PB conducted himself with elegance and charm today? Mr C snored loudly through family visiting and made furball noises when he realised they hadn't brought food.

Newerboy is thriving, I've just sent off for some Canin Exigeant wh he and caretaker might like, more foolproof than AGAIL.

His house is still in the hall, all 3,500, 000,000, 0 bits of it. It's not raining at all and it's v mild here, so that's fine. Must ask for instructions, there aren't any. At all.

My cat-hating cousin who was lent a Bengal two months ago is refusing to arrange a return. Phone off, etc. Xmas family lunch a little stiff.

I feel for you. It took me..............a long time to assemble PBoy's climbing thingy. And I had instructions - although they were largely in German, I must admit.

Pshaw, that's just the makers confusing you and showing off C.

How does one loan out bengals? I'm asking for a friend

Of course you are, Fluffy. Of course you are.

Oh FFS, Christmas rodent paraded into the living room, then ran upstairs with it, then back again, now charging up and down the landing, but diving under the bed whenever I try to intervene.

F

He probably thinks it's his 'special present', Weeds.

@Ollivander84

That crumbly shortbread with jam sound quite like this recipe for flapjacks. They're piss easy to make and quite delicious.
