PB, some yum e yums and a LWT

[Ollivander84]

I started a new thread as we hit 1k

Work out WHY he's calling - then at least.

I tried the talking but he just kept on - he will go into the living room and howl to himself there. Not sure why, I suspect some of it is wanting to go outside

And yet he says nowt when he wants back in? (He clearly trusts you.)

When is he let out?

Nothing. Just sits there blinking at the door in the pouring rain

He can go out from when I'm up (6am) and then is back in when I'm at work. Out again from 5pm until it's dark. I'm only suspecting that as I've found him about midnight on the windowsill howling and patting the window

Do you use words to him to indicate intention like 'Outside' and 'In/Sleep'?

Not so much out as he can hop in and out the window as he wants but I always use bedtime and sing him a lullaby no I am not joking say "mama going to bed now, night bubba"
The door is used when he doesn't fancy pretends he can't jump in the window. But he will happily sit there with the rain bouncing waiting for me to open the door

Start using single, memorable words - and look him in the eye while you do. (Very important.)

Also. You need to talk to him more - outdo him if you can.

I honestly never stop talking to him
Will give the words a go. He's quiet tonight, sat with his paw on my face

Good luck.

He says I am over exaggerating and he's just chatting

You need to get him under the paw. (Which is where I think you are, right now. )

I would definitely prefer it if he stopped watching himself cry in the mirror like some kind of weird emo cat

So basically MrC had a lovely relaxed night and you were exhausted the next day then?.

Asbo has never quietened down shut the fuck up, he's moaning now because we've stopped him going round next door to beat the ginger cat up. He was on our doorstop though which is inflammatory behaviour.

I am kittening

You won't be laffing at Asbo's leadership of Neighbourhood Watch when he gets an OBE.

Yes. I am still knackered.

hehheh look at the little kittens tho

It takes so much longer to get over late nights as you age. I was in bed last night at 8:30.

There has been a fight. Wounds have been bathed. If next door spent less on shite clothes from next and more on catteries this wouldn't happen. It's lazy ownership. Poor asbo is limping.

Poor lad. How is his......opponent? (If you know.)

I don't know. I think their ndn are cat sitting but will they know the signs of a poorly cat?

Not if it's sleeping it off somewhere - and if even ASBO's limping, that's not impossible.

Poor ASBO

I took this little video today, managed to get a miaow on it too https://instagram.com/p/BmnsczknPVI/

Oh no, poor ASBO. Hope there's no need for surgical intervention. Not this again so soon, surely. Can you eat?!

Darling beautiful Ginge has the mew of a tiny baby angel. Quite a forthright angel

I took my ancient DPs to a LGT-and-one-more-letter-probably concert in the park and Dad was flirted at by a drag queen. After the set ended he insisted we wait and chased her, aged over 80 with stick and hat, to give her a kiss and offer his compliments. She loved it (thank Christ).

Just heard Ollie howling. Went outside. A random not my cat in his bush
Not my cat then trotted over to Ollie and head hopped his face

That is love and friendship!

Ginge is cute!
Going back to Ollie’s bedtime routine, I thought I was the only one daft enough to sing the cat a lullaby.
Ours goes something like:
Time for cats to go to bed,
Beddy time for boys,
Time to shut your weary eyes,
Time for beddy byes.
