One toy mouse found for PB........

.....so temper tantrum forestalled for 10 minutes. Edited by MNHQ at OP's request

I think you credit them with too much altruism.

That poor woman 'I'm coming out... give me a minute...now, now darlings...{weakly}...mummy coming'

How could PB be louder? Has the double glazing not exploded? Have you tried Bose headphones?

Mind you, I love a talking cat. Mr C is skilled at oral commands, and he uses the same tones of voice as humans do for emotions, so I usually know what he's saying. Particularly familiar with the more-disappointed-than-angry tone :)

O have you tried to break the cycle of mewing? Ie picked Olli up (he hates it but it doesn't hurt, that is the point) and done tummy tickles (also annoying) so he is mildly inconvenienced by way of reprimand? And talked back a lot?

I can only break it by
A) screaming back or B) food (briefly) or C) cuddles
He won't eat his wet food and he won't come and cuddle in the night

If he's going for his procedure Tuesday, I'd do nothing if you can bear it.

A week on Tuesday 🙄😭

Oh.

I reckon he has a sore mouth/head.

Possibly. Just strange as he wasn't doing it before the vet visit and he must have been sore then
It was meant to be this Tuesday but I can't pick him up because of work so had to reschedule

Not necessarily........Tooth issues can vary.

If you're truly worried, why not have a word with his vet?

I think I will if it continues. I just can't get him in any earlier because he needs to be in at 8am and not collected until after 6pm... I do late shifts at one job and start at 8am at the other

When it comes to vets and timing, just rest assured your beloved companion will only require assistance at the most inconvenient/physically impossible/bankrupt-making moment.

Have you talked back for hours to see if anything happens.

I tried but granted at 3/4/5am my conversations are rather peppered with swear words

We've all been there. Hope you get some kip tonight.

Ah ha. He wants to go in his igloo. He hasn't been in it since the vet visit. Because I scooped him out the igloo to go in the carrier! That's why he's sleeping on the sofa

The noise of those shower cats one paces, panics and claws at the shower in exactly the same way but at least he keeps the commentary down to the odd "ack ack" or "whaaaaa?"!
That would drive me demented!

Mine, not one.

Those owners shouldn't have been allowed to have two Siamese.........

I have moved the igloo. He is kneading in it and we have silence

Cats are weird

You all right O? Was beauty sleep achieved for both of you?

First time ever here: I was woken by a very tender paw softly stroking my cheek. Not the usual furry fist in the eyeball.

Then Mr C smashed a vase of flowers because he's gone off AGAIL DD, all back to normal.

Two short episodes of shouting but nothing like he has been!

Good news to start the week :)

I've been vac-sealed to Mr C, but I fear it's my reduced sandwich he's after. Coronation chicken, always a treat.

Ollie has eaten two entire small tins of meowing heads food. He declared that disgusting last month
